Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City

10/10 Excellent

"The property itself is extremely convenient. The area right around the property doesn’t feel very safe at times but isn’t unsafe per se. It’s just a lot of homeless people and druggies on the streets around the hotel, maybe the hotel can do more to proactively eliminate it in the immediate vicinity. The hotel itself is good and no issues with the property itself. The breakfast was decent but could have a few more options for the Buffet"
