Wyndham Philadelphia-Historic District

Our room 806 was not only spacious and comfortable, but we had a view of both the city and Benjamin Franklin bridge. The bathroom was spacious and the onsite laundry was a bonus. (You will need 3USD in quarters for a wash and dry, which I obtained from reception) We dined at the restaurant on our first night and it was pretty good. Christopher on the tour desk was brilliant. All of the staff we dealt with were wonderful and very friendly. Located in a great area. Coffee machine worked well. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the aircon was quiet and worked welll.

There were a couple of things that could be better. For some reason, the only light in the bathroom was a rather dim light around the mirror with no additional lighting (or fan). It was okay for using the sink (although trying to see my face while shaving was also a challenge), but after you get in the shower and close the curtain, it was obviously not enough. Also (a small thing but why not improve it?) the only option for the in-room coffee maker was decaf which sort of defeats the purpose. These were the problems, but I would not say they were in any was major. The rest—staff, cleanliness—were good with the location that’s very difficult to beat: the Independence Hall and Liberty Bell tourist complex were literally around the corner.

Amazing location. Easy walk downtown or to South Philly. You're basically within a mile of everywhere you could want to go. Ben Franklin's burial site is right behind the hotel and the Liberty Bell, National Constitution Center, and Independence Hall are across the street from that. Plenty of public transportation options close by as well.

We didn't eat at the hotel. We like how the security guard and the concierge give us some great places to eat and have some fun. They also told us how to get the real cheese steaks. They were both great people and fun people very funny and inviting.

The location was great to be close to all the things you would want to do in the historical district of Philly. You could walk to all of it. They had parking right next door and could come and go as you pleased/ just had to get your parking ticket stamped when you came back. It was convenient and had room downtown to load and unload your cars with all your luggage. The staff was friendly as well.
