Top South Wilmington Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and knowledgeable staff."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I booked this because I was going to an event in Phila and I just did not want to drive all the way home. Check in was easy. However, they gave me a room that was a few doors down from a very active, loud family. I did a 360 and returned to the desk immediately for a different room. The clerk handled it perfectly and gifted me with a perfect stay. My stay was silent, clean, dark (black out curtains) with instant hot water in the shower and a perfect AC temp with a unit that ran quietly. Upon leaving, I noticed many "do not disturb" hangers on the doors as I quietly closed my door and walked away thinking... well, he definitely put me on the correct floor! The breakfast was delish - basic - sure, but well stocked. This was a very enjoyable overnight stay. I would choose this La Quinta again."
