The staff was very friendly. There was no breakfast available because of renovation. This was disappointing because it was suppose to be included. The parking was not connected to hotel. Was not aware i would have to pay for parking each day.

Delta Hotel Philadelphia Airport
Nice clean and functional room, BUT water did not get hot enough, and doors slamming outside was noisy. It would also be nice if there was a microwave and mini fridge in the room. Also how about some coffee in the lobby in the mornings. There is a coffee maker in the room.
