Collegeville Holidays from £1,179

Close to Reading Terminal, Chinatown and restaurants like Hard Rock Cafe, short walk to get subway to sport stadiums. Price was high and had to pay $40 in additional for their parking deck. Nice room but no hair dryer and our room was on parking deck side and loud hum all night of machinery (not cars).

Pros: The staff was very friendly. There was a small connected restaurant were we had a nice breakfast, however the menu was quite limited. Large bedroom with comfortable bed and very large living room. Cons: - Parking garage is not close and it is somewhat scary to walk back to the hotel at 1 AM when the streets are deserted. During normal hours the area seems quite safe. - Blinds, but no curtains on the large bedroom window. The room never got dark at night due to lights directly outside the bedroom window. - No outlets near nightstands. - Bathroom had an extremely noisy fan that automatically turned on with the light. I moved a lamp into the bathroom to avoid the sound. - One-person small sleep sofa was in a small room in back next to the kitchen. There were about 20 HVAC compressors in the alley outside the small room. You could hear the noise from the compressors. - It is mind boggling why they don't put blackout curtains on the windows and a queen size sleep sofa in the gigantic living room (where you would not hear the HVAC compressors). - At 6:30 AM the person who was sleeping on the small sleep sofa was awakened by extremely loud trashmen. I did not hear them in the main bedroom. - Hopefully an anomaly, but there was a large glob of hardened material like cardboard molded into the bedsheet. I can't believe the person who made the bed didn't see it. Another Pro: Kitchen seemed well equipped; however I didn't use it.

Close to Drexel University and area very clean and friendly staff. No dislikes.

Front desk staff was very helpful.

Very accessible to many historical properties

Great location. Very friendly staff. Area surrounding the hotel is a bit grittier than expected. Would not walk around by myself after dark.
