“Great Airport Hotel”

Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia Airport

4 of 5 stars
Annapolis, Maryland
Sep 18, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We went to Philly for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday. Many of the downtown hotels were full and the ones that weren't were ridiculously expensive. Having never been to Philly before, we were worried about finding our way to downtown from an airport hotel.

Happily, it all worked out very well. Although there is no shopping or restaurants readily close by, it was an easy drive to downtown.

We found out upon arrival that the hotel was undergoing some renovation. At first I was disappointed, but that quickly went away. Our room was very nice, completely renovated and it seemed as if we were the first ones to use it! The renovation was continuing in the hallway outside our room and all of the ceiling tiles were taken out, exposing the wiring and pipes above. However, the workers conducted their job as absolutely subtly as possible. In fact, we never heard a thing. They totally cleaned up everything each day so that you couldn't tell they had even been there. Congrats to Marriott for really making the renovation a non-issue.

Our check-in went smoothly except for a glitch with our room key which did not work. We had a nice courtyard view and did not notice the airport traffic at all. This is an older hotel that was obviously built back when they built them properly. The walls and floors are very solid and thick. We never heard a peep of noise from anywhere. The beds and linens were great. The room stayed at the perfect temperature with a very quiet thermostat. But the highlight of the stay was the shower head. My goodness, that thing was awesome. Wanted to bring it home with us.

Our checkout was smooth, billing, rates, and coupons were all correct. One of the front desk staff gave us a great tip and directions for a breakfast stop.

We would recommend this hotel not only for airport travelers, but visitors to Philly as well. It's really not that hard to get to downtown.

“Fine choice for Philadelphia stay”

Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia Airport

4 of 5 stars
West Grove, Pennsylvania
Jun 5, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

This is a clean, convenient business class hotel very near the airport, with adequate parking, a good breakfast, and free WiFi in the rooms. The tv channel choice is adequate and the staff was pleasant to deal with. Shuttle to the airport is only on the half hour and nothing is within walking distance except other hotels. However, if you need a place to overnight between flights connecting in Philadelphia or a location for a business meeting near PHL airport, this is a great option.

“Fine if you are going to Philadelphia just for the airport...”

Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia Airport

4 of 5 stars
New Jersey
Apr 28, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

We booked the Courtyard at the last minute for a trip to Philadelphia to see a Phillies game, and while the hotel was a fine place to stay if you were waiting for a flight at the airport, I would not reccommend it for any other type of trip simply due to its location (expect to pay $20+ per person for a taxi trip to Center City or Manayunk!). When we arrived at the hotel we checked in quickly, but found that we were missing a cot we had requested in the room. The front desk staff was very helpful and courteous, and took care of the problem right away. There is a TGIFriday's right in the parking lot, which would be very convenient for travelers. The hotel was clean and the breakfast in the morning was sufficient. I would recommend not staying on the first floor if you want a quieter stay, since the pool seemed to be filled with kids until a rather late hour.

“New Years Eve Relaxation Time”

Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia Airport

4 of 5 stars
Philadelphia, Pa.
Jan 3, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

I had a wonderful time at the Courtyard. I stayed for the weekend of New Years. The room looked clean, but I found a used wash rag under the bed. When I complained to management they apologized, and took money off of my bill. My daughter needed a screwdriver to install batteries into one of her games, and we phoned the front desk and someone gave us a screwdriver in less than 10 minutes. The staff was very friendly. The only down side to our stay was the dining area and room service is not available on weekends, so we asked for menus and the front desk staff gave us plenty. I will visit the Courtyard again in the near future.
