Quality Hotel Philadelphia Airport

4/10 Poor

"Don't be deceived by the word quality, this is a very old, dirty and run down place. Staff is nice and I survived the night, but this place is very run down and dirty. Bed was dirty, shower had rust on the tub, ceiling tiles are missing all over, the pool is green and looks radioactive, and then the best part was the fire alarm that went off in the morning for who knows what reason. If it were a real fire everyone would have died because when I went rushing out, everyone else was acting as if they had no idea what the trouble was for. Also it is labeled as 100% non-smoking but the hallway down the first floor completely smelled like cigarette smoke. I survived so it wasn't that bad, but it was a very sub-optimal experience."

Extended Stay America Suites Philadelphia Airport Tinicum Bl

6/10 Okay

"The units esthetics of each room need to be updated and a new coat of paint on the walls. It was a roach in the bathroom. Dust in the corners of the baseboards. Hallways smell like mildew and carpets needed to be cleaned had trash on the floors outside the room. But in a good location staff was helpful."

Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very nice, very quiet, even though it was near the airport, the rooms were beautifully done, and the best were very comfy My only complaint was the shuttle waiting over an hour at the airport to get it to pick me up. That was a hassle. But the shuttle driver and the hotel staff were very friendly and very kind.!"

Quality Inn Newark - Wilmington

4/10 Poor

"Pics are deff old!!! This place is worn down.. the staff is rude as hellgot there at 1:30 "check in" was at 3 and was told ww could not check early unless paying $40 more dollars. Lobby was hard to find as you had to through a door to get to it but then it was down a hall but no signs. Says "smoke free" and room was "smoke free" however room was deff smoked in and also bathroom smelled like pit.. went back to check in left them know and their solution was to have house keeping come spray something in the room. Pool did look clean however we did not use it. "Free" breakfast was only cereal and bananas that should have been throw away and replaced a few days back. All and all nicely letting for the price stay else where if you can.. we deff will!"
