Hotels near James Ramp Playground, Philadelphia

Stayed one night while in town for a concert at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion and sightseeing in Philly. This is a newish hotel on the waterfront with great views of the Philadelphia skyline and Ben Franklin Bridge. Room was clean and comfortable. Tried to eat at the restaurant in the lobby but they were unprepared for the volume of guests so we left after it was clear staff were overwhelmed and did not notice arriving guests. It’s a very short and easy drive to the historic area and easy and safe 15 minute walk to the concert venue. There is not adequate space to park to check in when there are more than 2 guests arriving at a time - this is an issue as access to the parking lot requires a room key. They charge for parking - pretty routine for city hotels, but this is not in the city, so they could do away with it IMO. Overall a nice stay with just a couple of inconveniences.

Ben and Sam were amazing! Thanks for a great stay. Room was clean. Bed was very comfy. Housekeeping staff were very rude. Only negative during our stay. We paid for late checkout but they were very aggressive at our door all morning so don’t pay for late checkout if you don’t absolutely have to.

Juan at the front desk saved the day as I needed to change two rooms- the first one was dirty and the second one smelled like smoke. Juan made sure he got me a room that was clean and even went with me to make sure. The staff is courteous and professional.

Nice apart-hotel with good central location in Philadelphia and nice views. Breakfast quality could be improved.

Trip.com was very helpful but from the beginning this hotel failed us. We arrived at 9pm to check in, room was not ready until 11pm. With a very cranky sleepy 3yr old. I called the hotel 3 days before check in to request a crib/pack and play and it was not given to us. I had to go to front desk 3 times to request one. Very good location, decent rooms but horrible housekeeping staff and follow through.

The location of the hotel is perfect if you have a car and don’t want to worry about parking. Parking does cost $14 a day however. It’s conveniently located next to a Target and their is a supermarket about a 5 min drive away. The gym facilities were very nice. If you want to use the pool you have to reserve an hour time slot. There’s no complimentary breakfast but there were granola bars to grab as snacks. Overall I enjoyed my stay

I understand that the property had been renovated. The room looked okay, I found dried crusty blood stains on the bedsheets. The room walls are thin, needless to say everyone screaming at each other in the room next door (probably high on **** and alcohol) at 1 am in the morning is my nightly entertainment? Only 2 sets of towels and this new eco-friendly policy means you don't get any new towels unless you ask and then nobody shows up. The toilet paper holder in the bathroom was broken, I had to flush the toilet a couple of times for it to work. The shower is nice and spacious. The cleaning crew must have been understaffed, because there was mold in between the shower tiles. There is no functioning ventilation in the bathroom. The air conditioning, when and if it works, is super loud. Upon arrival it was set to 72, I tried changing it to 68, but it jumped back to 72. TV was working, unlike the remote, some keys were just dead. The room smelled musty. No microwave, the fridge was not cooling either. I thought maybe the ice machine on the 5th floor could cool my water down a little. Come to find out that the ice machine wasn't working and from the looks of it, it never has! Also, the ice machine room looks like World War 2 has left its mark. The ceiling is about to fall down and it's dirty. The hallway has nice carpet but again, the cleaning crew might not be fully staffed and dirty fries were left all over the hallway (5th floor). I see that the hotel has a non-smoking policy. This may apparently only apply to cigarettes. Floor 5 and 12 reek of ********* so badly, it creeps into the rooms and makes a good night sleep close to impossible. It's not a whiff you get from someone who has recently smoked walking by, it comes from the rooms. It is utterly disgusting and Hilton should be ashamed. The staff at the front desk is jaded and rude, I'd be too if I had to deal with what's coming through that hotel. Breakfast doesn't open until 7am which didn't work for us because we came for a business trip and had to leave the hotel by 7am. Also, breakfast is not included in the $700 for 2 nights. Instead you choose from 3 or 4 overpriced omelets from a menu. $40 for 2 mini omelets and a cup of coffee. It didn't taste too bad but that price is not justified. Also, the breakfast room is way too dark. I could barely see the food in front of me. Parking is an insult to be honest. Philly is not a safe city and for $700 for 2 nights I would have expected parking at the hotel or at least covered parking that is being monitored at no extra charge. Instead, you can drive 1500 yards down the road to an open parking lot that will cost you $13 a night ($15 if you use a valet). It is not monitored, no security and any random person can walk in there and wreak havoc. Shameful. Overall, not a Hilton experience, for the price I paid I would have expected service which I didn't get. Never again and I am hoping other Hilton properties aren't so shameful.

The sound insulation was bad, can heard the water pipe, the people in the hallway, and the outside cars. If you are a quite sleeper, don't choice here. Overall the value of the cost is okay. The parking charge is not that reasonable.

The service is good, and the cleanliness is excellent, but the pool was closed for the weekend. The rooms do not have a minibar or smart TV.

Facilities: Airport shuttle has a flight from the hotel to the airport in half an hour, very convenient, the driver is very warm. Hygienic: Some curtains are not very clean, the toilet will have a taste of decoration, but overall it is satisfactory. Service: There are effervescent films at the front desk, the best in the whole venue! Environment: The room is much larger than I thought, with a small refrigerator.
