Very good

I had a mishap at my last stay but they made it for it this time . As always the staff was on point, the room was clean, and I lived the amenities. Breakfast was good and the staff there was very attentive and funny. Everyone was so nice and professional. Will definitely recommend and be back!!
We were staying at this Homewood Suites for surgery at Penn Presbyterian. The staff is attentive and helpful. The complimentary breakfast buffet is generous. We found it easy to go back and forth to the hospital even in bad weather as the entrance and drop off to the hotel is completely covered and there is a small garden in front of the hotel. This is an excellent option for travellors who want to stay at the upper end of University City. The neighborhood is safe as long as one stays on the blocks which are part of the Medical Center campus.
We had a great stay. The rooms were amazing. The mattress was wonderful! I slept all night without waking up.
The only bad thing is the parking. Its street, which was almost impossible. Or the valet service at $45 a day.
The breakfast quality is very good, serving multiple dishes: eggs, tacos, chia pudding, waffles and more! All the staff are friendly, especially the kitchen staff. This will be my go-to hotel whenever I’m in Philly.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel—the staff was excellent, very accommodating, and the entire facility was modern and impeccably clean. The valet parking made things so easy, and I appreciated that the fee was deducted from our security deposit, making it a hassle-free experience. However, the one major issue was discovering blood on our sheets and pillowcase. I immediately called the front desk, and while they did send someone up with replacements, that was the extent of the resolution. No further acknowledgment or accommodation was offered for such an unsanitary and unsettling mishap. Aside from that, everything else about our stay was fantastic, but I do wish this situation had been handled with more concern.
