Overview

Located in Center City Philadelphia, the Hilton Garden Inn is within walking distance to lots of restaurants, shops and historic sites. The Reading Terminal Market (Philadelphia’s charming public food market) and the Pennsylvania Convention Center are steps away, as well.

While the bright lobby may appear small, it presents as a nice space to gather as a family and get out of the room for a board game or snack time at the large table. Or you can read a book in front of the fireplace to relax after a day exploring Philadelphia. A complimentary coffee and water station can also be found in the lobby. Kids will also find cookies or popcorn in the lobby on occasion.

The guestrooms and suites are spacious and offer ample room for a family. The onsite restaurant, serving breakfast and dinner, shows off spectacular views of the city and the indoor pool is a great place for the kids to swim and play.

Reviews

Updated and good lovation

by amywU3309HR

This hotel (or part of it) has been recently updated. Rooms are all on floors 7-10. Street noise is an issue even on top floor. Double shades in room, but not completely blackout (curtains do not shut). Toiletries very basic Neutrogena, and no body wash (just bar soap). USB outlets throughout the room which was nice.

Lobby small but had coffee in the mornings and spa water and cookies in the afternoons. Employees very friendly- gave stuffed animal to anyone with a little one.

A few small things:
Bathroom had no exhaust fan. Also, standing shower had glass sliding door, but handle only on outside.

Overall would stay again because of proximity to Reading Terminal Market and Chinatown.

Excellent accommodations

Room was clean. Great location! Friendly staff. Comfortable accommodations. Four girlfriends shared this room. Served our purposes, and had a great time. Will definitely stay again. Reading Terminal market just steps away.

Pool
On the 7th floor, families will find the indoor heated pool, which is open until 11 p.m. daily. The pool depth goes from 3 to 6 feet and there is a bathroom in the pool area. A hot tub sits next to the pool and two pool accessible lifts are available to guests who may need assistance. There is no lifeguard on duty, but guests will find chairs around the pool deck.

Treasure Chest
Kids can dig into the Treasure Chest at check-in and select a coloring book or fun small toy.

Great American Grill
The casual onsite restaurant can be found on the 10th floor and serves breakfast and dinner. A television sits above a fireplace if the large windows with city views aren't attention grabbing enough. A buffet breakfast is served from 6 to 10 a.m. during the week and from 7 to 11 a.m. on weekends. Dinner is served from 5 to 10 p.m. daily and a kids' menu is available. A bar area within the restaurant features a happy hour with snacks and drink specials, too.

Planning & Tips

All About the Extras
Fitness Center
The fitness center overlooks the pool area and can be found on the 7th floor. Guests will find cardio machines, free weights and towels in the small, but efficient fitness center, which is open 24/7.

Laundry and Vending
Coin operated laundry facilities can be found on the 7th and 9th floors. Vending and ice machines can be found on every floor.

Security
A lobby attendant is always on duty, even overnight, so guests can feel secure and safe at night.

Concierge
The front desk can assist guests in exploring everything that Philadelphia has to offer. Tours, musical theater tickets or tickets to a museum can be arranged at the front desk.

The Art of Smart Timing
Philadelphia is welcoming any time of year. The high season for tourists is the summer when kids are out of school and the humidity is high. Fall and spring offer less humidity with fewer crowds when kids are back in school. And the winter brings outdoor ice rinks and outdoor Christmas events and shopping for visitors to enjoy.

Getting There
Philadelphia International Airport is about 12 miles away from the hotel. Interstate 95 along with several other highways leading to Center City Philadelphia make it easy to locate.

Getting Around
Philadelphia is an easily walkable city and taxis and car services are also easy to grab.

Parking
There is a fee for self-parking and the parking lot is not immediately onsite. Guests can unload at the hotel and then park at a designated nearby lot. An in-and-out pass is also available at the hotel for an extra $1.

For Mom and Dad
Bar/Lounge
The bar lounge area within the restaurant is a great spot for parents to unwind after a day exploring the city with the kids. Happy hour specials are also featured at the bar.
