Quality Hotel Philadelphia Airport
Room was not very clean. Entire building smelled like cigarettes even though it claims its smoke free. It was fine for a night to sleep and get to the airport early. I can't see myself using this as a long term stay

Sonesta Select Newark Christiana Mall
The hotel is under construction, more noise than expected. The room was clean but found rotten food inside little fridge. Left medication in the room, contacted hotel a couple of hours after leaving and was told room was already cleaned and nothing was found. Not planning to stay there again.
