Embassy Suites by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good

"This was very ideal for an early morning trip to the airport via their shuttle. The shuttle was right on time, no issues. The van/bus is plenty big for my family plus a few other families. The trip to/from the airport was literally just minutes. Very ideal, very quick, super convenient. The staff were amazing top to bottom. Held our bags as we were early for check-in, and a quick shuttle to the airport gave us SEPTA (subway) service to Philly downtown and back. A++ on the staff. The amenities were great. The pool is outdoors, but there's a large outdoor sun area, as well. the pool was clean and maintained. The kids loved it (not too cold, just right for the warm summer days). The free snacks and complimentary beers during happy hour were a very nice touch. Sam Adams was on tap and the world cup was playing, so it was perfect as a parent to have a moment for some "me" time enjoying the game and a brew. The rooms have no wow factor, but they are plenty adequate and very spacious. They could use with some upgraded furniture, for sure. But overall, a comfortable-enough room that had little complaints and plenty of space to spread out. We loved our stay here and will certainly remember this hotel for our future Philly airport needs."

Philadelphia Airport Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay at the Philadelphia Airport Marriott. The location couldn't be more convenient—being connected directly to the airport terminal made our early morning flight completely stress-free. The hotel was clean, modern, and surprisingly quiet despite being at a major airport. Our room was comfortable, well-appointed, and the bed provided a great night's sleep. The staff was welcoming, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Whether you're catching an early flight, arriving late, or just need a comfortable place to stay near the airport, I highly recommend the Philadelphia Airport Marriott. We'll definitely stay here again on our next trip through Philadelphia."
