Great Stay with a Perfect Location!

Great Stay with a Perfect Location! We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable—within walking distance to nearly all of the national park, which made exploring super easy. Plus, there are plenty of great restaurants right on the street, so we never had to go far for a good meal. Breakfast being included was a huge bonus, and our kids especially loved the cookies and hot cocoa in the evenings! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable. Our room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable for our family of four. We stayed in a king-size room with a sofa bed, and it provided plenty of space for everyone. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

Charming hotel in Old City

My anniversary is on Valentine's Day, which, this year was a long weekend with President's Day on Monday. The location of this hotel was perfect for a winter weekend trip to Philadelphia -- we loved being across from the American Revolutionary Museum, cookie hour, hot chocolate and warm inviting atmosphere at Independence Park Hotel. Great breakfast buffet with friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.

Easy load in area to check in to property in front of the hotel and easy directions to reaching adjacent parking garage. It is a one time $28 parking fee but it is in and out privileges and worth it vs. finding parking on your own if you have a car. Quiet and comfy bed, a very charming Old City hotel in Philly. Exactly what we wanted! Walkable to everything and much cleaner and exciting vs. Center City.

Reasonable price for Philadelphia. Parking was more affordable than many hotels but was 2 blocks away and did not like walking alone from garage at night. Room was small and bed was smaller than expected. But overall room was nice. Staff was incredibly nice. They have complimentary happy hour with yummy cookies. Weird thing is that if you are not out of your room by 12:15 pm, they charge you for the next day.
