Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City
Loved the location ! Very close and convenient to get to all the attractions especially if you’re choosing to walk. The room it self was the perfect size for our stay. Unfortunately it wasn’t cleaned completely. The bath tub and the sink both had slow draining clogs. Not unbearable since our stay ...
