The room was very clean and decorated beautifully and a wonderful view. The only thing I disliked was so many buys and mosquitoes outside. You got attacked if went outside and some would get in the room. Otherwise if I had the funds I would rather stay there then another motel.

Disliked: Amenities
This is not a hotel but rather a motel in which rooms are entered from the outdoors. Since it shares the Hyatt hotel’s airport shuttle, getting back and forth is not a problem. This motel doesn’t have any eating establishments nearby but they did offer the use of the shuttle which also made stops to the La Quinta hotel which had a dinner and a Dennys within walking distance. All three of the hotels which share the airport shuttle are located in rough areas but are reasonably close to the airport. The shuttle drivers were very helpful with the luggage. If you only need a place to stay and rest up between flights, this place will do the trick. But if you want a motel/hotel accessible to sightseeing, shopping, or dining, then it’s better to find another place to stay.

The rooms were newly renovated and pretty clean. They are still working on updating the outside. You could hear the airplanes from the Philadelphia Airport taking off and landing all night. Nothing some ear plugs couldn't handle. We were in town for a baseball tournament. The room worked out perfectly . The price was perfect. I would definitely stay again. The staff was super friendly. We stayed on the 2nd floor and there were only steps the front desk guy helped us carry our stuff to our room.

No elevator and only one bed rooms and no cribs/pack and plays available on the first floor. I had to carry a huge double stroller and take several trips to be able to get the stroller and my 2 children to the top floor where the only available rooms were. The back of the building is run down. The view was nice and it was great that there was a shuttle to the airport.

If your main priority is the room, this hotel is wonderful; we really enjoyed our stay. The river view is well worth the extra cost, with three windows to watch the sunrise and sunset. The room is very clean, and everything seems quite new. While the exterior looks worn, it did not bother us at all. We also loved the in-room K-Cup coffee.

I really liked the Waterfront Inn. We had a beautiful view. The rooms appear to be recently updated. There is no elevator which could be an issue for some. We had a rental car so didn't use the shuttle. It was a convenient driving distance. We also enjoyed food at a Pub that was only a few blocks away.
