Doubletree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport
The room was clean and spacious but the carpet, tile and wallpaper was outdated and worn. There were renovations going on while we were there but that didn’t affect our stay in any way. The staff was friendly. The location was a little suspicious.

Sheraton Suites Philadelphia Airport
The room did not appear to be properly cleaned. There was a green floss toothpick on the floor that seemed to have been left by a previous guest, and a long blonde hair on the table. I requested housekeeping to come and clean the room, but no one came.
