Doubletree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

Doubletree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good
"Parking is an issue. Seems like they don’t have enough spots for the number of guests. Breakfast was good and the servers were trying their best but seemed inexperienced. Elevators were stuck a few times. It’s a great location. Very close to Lincoln financial field which is a plus for me."

10/10 Excellent
"Wife and I stayed after a Phillies game and everything was great, as it usually is. Have stayed here a few times and have nothing but great things to say about Sofitel in Philly. Great staff and great location. My only complaint would be how small the valet parking area is but there is not much Sofitel can do about that with such a tight location."
