Fodor's Expert Review Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

This bustling convention hotel fills an entire city block, and for an intrinsically impersonal type of place, the Marriott tries hard to meet special needs; it also offers some of the lowest rates in its price category. The softly lit lobby has comfortable seating areas with a sushi bar and a Starbucks steps away. The more than 1,300 guest rooms are brightly decorated, and at no additional cost, you can request one of the hotel’s "rooms that work," with adjustable desks and extra lighting and outlets. The on-site restaurants, Circ and 13, serves contemporary American food. If you're driving, you may want to park in a public parking lot, as the hotel charges upwards of $56 a night.
