Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City

Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was clean upon arrival. The lobby was very well kept every time I entered. I thought the staff was helpful and communicative. The room was clean and a very good size. I loved the personalized message with my name on the television. The mini fridge was extremely cold, which I loved! I will be back Philly."
