Bottom Line
Philadelphia Marriott Old City is in the Old City of Philadelphia -- one of America’s most historic neighborhoods -- and very close to public transportation, making it convenient for tourists and
business guests alike. The hotel has 17 meeting rooms, a business center, and a Club Lounge, plus a restaurant, and a Starbucks. Its 364 rooms include flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers. However, there is a fee for in-room Wi-Fi. Travelers may want to compare rates with the nearby Hilton Philadelphia at Penn’s Landing, which boasts that it’s the only waterfront hotel in Philadelphia.
