We missed our connection at Philly airport and were looking for a hotel to spend a day at downtown to at least use the time before continuing our trip the next evening. I was clever enough not to ask for a walk-in rate at the hotel (probably 200+) instead called the travel agency, and made a reservation for remarkable less... more

I stayed at this hotel on a school group trip in June 2008 and it was very, very nice. The rooms were clean and beautiful (and so was the rest of the hotel); the staff was polite and kind; and they gave us a very nice stay and tolerated the large size of our group (there were about 110 of... more

The hotel itself is fine to stay at: -comfortable room -clean room -nice pub -friendly staff I have stayed at other crowne plazas, and they seem more upkept. Main problems -"high-speed internet" is more like dial up -outside the room is too warm If I was just staying here for a personal visit, it would be fine. It is in... more

Myself, my wife and our daughter stayed at the Crowne Plaza for 6 nights and we were very pleasantly suprised. After reading some of the reviews we were a little nervous but on arrival found the hotel to exceed our expectations. The front desk staff were extremely helpful in every regard and so was the bellmen. Anything we needed all... more

I know we were in downtown but at $205 a night (walk-in rate) this place was waaaay overpriced. The employees were nice as was the bed but the room itself was dirty and beat up with scrapes, scratches, and stains on the walls and dirty, stained carpet. Will never go back. more

We spent one evening at the Crowne Plaza, and definitely would return for the price. I booked the room through Priceline for $65, much better than the $279 rack rate. The front desk was pleasant and helpful. Right away, we were upgraded to the top floor, which they said was the executive floor. Room was clean, comfortable and good size.... more

The bed was fairly comfortable and had ample pillows. The room had a plasma TV, which was nice but unnecessary. When I checked in I was shocked how loud my initially assigned room was. You could hear every sound emitting from the area near the elevators and every sound made by the contraption itself! They were helpful enough reassigning my... more

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza in Center City Philadelphia and I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. The rooms were decent (not 3 star quality though), except for the mold in the bathroom and the poor ventilation (the a/c didn't work) in the room. The service at the hotel is horrendous!! Neither me nor my boyfriend smoke but... more

This review is written from the perspective of a business traveler. This Crowne Plaza is a high-traffic hotel that delivers what's required to support business travelers with minimal fuss and a friendly Philly spirit. While the lobby and other public areas are full of bustle and short on fancy amenities, everything you need is there - and the friendly staff... more
