Delta Hotel Philadelphia Airport

Delta Hotel Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent
"We stay here at least 4 times a year for flights out of Philly. By far the best hotel in the area. Beautiful. Clean. Very reasonably priced. My favorites are the real down feather pillow and duvets, the on site restaurant / bar. And above all, PAM! The veteran shuttle driver that efficiently takes you to the airport in the morning with a smile and Philly flavor"
