Holiday Inn Express Midtown, Philadelphia

They've tried to charge me 3 times $2.5/min just for trying to connect to the Internet using my local dial-up ISP. I had to work hard to convince them I did not succeed since I had 3 calls of 1 min each within intervals of few seconds. So, watch out for phone charges.

We stayed here in June, 2005. We brought two kids with us, a teen and an 11-year-old. It was not in a very good section of town and not as close to Independence Hall as I had thought. We ended up just taking the bus that costs $1.00 which we could have done from any hotel in town. On the night we arrived, there was a guy at the front desk (in front of our kids) who seemed out of it and was asking for a room key or a room. Anyway, it was clear he did not have a key or a room and then he admitted to the clerk that he was lying. He did all this in front of our kids. I guess the hotel is not responsible for who drifts in and out of the lobby, but it made us wonder about our safety. They are also in the process of renovating certain areas. Basically, I just didn't like the area and I won't stay there again.

Read some bad reviews but price was good and was near Jefferson Hospital so I took a chance. Yes, building is old and has seen better days but everything was neat and clean. Nothing fancy, but neat and clean. AC worked great. Not much selection on TV. Didn't use internet. Newspaper every morning. Full breakfast, although seating was difficult. Staff was great. Great for familes. Nice pool. Good security. Nice section of town, lots of restaurants. All in all a pleasant experience and a good value. I would visit again.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Clean, quiet, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. A great central location within walking distance of almost everything there is to see. The free breakfast bar offers a great deal of variety - something for everyone. I will stay here everytime I come to Philadelphia!

Great location in downtown. Near historic sites and Jefferson Medical college. Very friendly staff. Strict abvout check-in times. Pool great, on sixth floor overlooking street. Parking in garage; attendants do a great job.

The attached parking garage was very convenient, the room was huge and the staff was very helpful. The hotel is located near several good eating places. The traffic noise from Walnut street was the biggest problem, so ask for a room away from Walnut St.

Great location and pleasant room. It was a joy to stay the night here. It is close to the Midtown area and I liked that it was close to a very nice entertain and quaint areas to visit.

I stayed here for 5 nights while attending a conference at the PA Convention Center. The location was great. There were so many nice restaurants and shops within walking distance. I also trekked to area museums. The staff was always friendly, courteous, and helpful. The housekeeping staff was kind and efficient. The room was clean and very roomy. I have no complaints. I'd stay there again, given the chance.

The staff were excellent and kind. The room looked exactly like it did online and was very clean. The breakfast staff were so nice and very helpful in showing how to get to a certain place, so much so that one of the lady's walked me out and directed me from outside to a place that I asked about. The next time I come to Philly, I will definitely stay here again.
