“For the masochists amongst you.”

If you don't mind the sound and vibration of several pneumatic drills in your room for five and a half hours every day and taking pot luck as to whether you receive room service or not, then this is the place for you. Also, if you don't mind staff that either are told to act as though they know nothing about what's going on in the hotel or who really just don't know then you'll be in clover. I wish I could tell you how long he drilling was scheduled to continue for but I got varying answersto this relatively simple question. Here's a sample Oh, just till 11.45 Till 4.00 It will all be done by Friday-completly finished. It's going on unil some time next year. The rooms are spacious though so you'll have plenty of room in which to listen to the drilling while trying to work and wonder if the hotel does in fact employ housekeeping staff but then you did think you saw one once.

“Exceeded my expectations!”

The entire staff was courteous and helpful. We felt welcome from the time we drove into the valet area. The hotel was not only welcoming but very comfortable and clean. I hope to visit them again in the future. Wonderful experience! Thank you!

Area recommendations
We enjoyed visiting the historic areas. Clean areas and fun to learn. We also visited the local shops and had a very pleasant experience.

“Recommended”

Very nice Hotel. Best featue is the size of the room (kitchen area, walk in closet). Older/dated hotel but very clean and an overall nice place to stay. Parking is expensive due to location. Walking distance to tourist attractions (very close to museums). Only complaint is the maid service was not completed until after 2pm (they seem to be more accustomed to extended stay customers... and are a little more lack for 1-2 day stays (compared to most other hotels).

“Philly"s very good hotel”

This is very good hotel. All rooms are suite rooms. Especially, I recommend a traveler who stay in Philly 3 or more days fit this hotel. My room is clean and big enough.

“Alright! :)”

This hotel has a perfect location for doing things in the area (center city). I took my fiance for his birthday weekend. We went to the Ben Franklin Institute, which was literally right around the corner, as well as other nearby attractions, all within walking distance. The hallways smelled a little funny, but all in all the room was great for the price. We were comfortable. The kitchen was small, but was quite a convenience. To get to the South Street area we took a cab...about a five minute ride, and very affordable. I'd definitely go back and recommend it to others! One more thing- the pool is closed after labor day :( This was only disappointing because we had unseasonably warm weather for this weekend in October.

Area recommendations
The parks near the hotel are nice. Frankline Institute was very cool and fun (we are 26 and 27). GREAT Chinese food at this place called Mustard Greens just off South Street.
Comment from the hotel's management
Thank you for choosing The Windsor Suites and taking time to submit your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. Although Labor Day is our scheduled date to close the rooftop swimming pool, we typically allow the weather to guide us as much as we can. We were able to keep it open for a few more weeks this year until late September when the weather turned chilly. We will reopen the pool on Memorial Day, so we hope to see you again then. Thank you again for choosing The Windsor Suites, and for your comments.

“On the Parkway”

Developed as extended stay business suites, the Windsor is located between City Hall and the Franklin Institute. A short walk to mass transit and you are moments away from the Independence Hall National Park and Penn's Landing on the Delaware River. The room was clean and well maintained with a full efficiency kitchen allowing the children to set the pace instead of restaurant reservation times. The staff was helpful and polite with no differential shown between Expedia customers and other guests. I highly recommend Windsor Suites and look forward to returning.

Area recommendations
Our trip was planned to introduce our children to the Nation's history and have fun. The fun was provided by Philadelphia's many museums which are a few blocks from the hotel and a very easy walk. The Market-Frankford Line (subway) offered us quick access to the historical sites in Old City. Security was high because of several visiting mobs. At no time did I have safety concerns thanks to the city's police presence. I wouldn't recommend leaving the tourist areas.
