Great trip.....small things off
Great customer service the whole time!!! They even opened the breakfast area so we could try to see the fireworks!! Great location. We walked from Amtrak station. The pool had a crying screaming toddler for almost 30min till we walked out, thats just bad fellow guests. The pool didn't look the cleanest, let the kids play but i stayed out. The room was great for family of 4! Almost full size fridge was great, and utensils, saved us! The pull out sofa had some sort of big stain that looked like a bad clean up job of blood or poop! Again amazing customer service and nicest staff!!!

I had an excellent stay at the Homewood Suites by Hilton University City! The location is incredibly convenient, especially if you’re visiting Penn or Drexel, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and attractions nearby. The suites were spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, making it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen area was fully equipped, which was perfect for preparing meals, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The staff was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. The on-site amenities, including the fitness center and pool, were well-maintained and added to the overall experience.

Very disappointed that the indoor pool water was very cold so we could not enjoy it, the hot tub was not working or available. The toilet seat in the bathroom was covered in cleaning solution so I had to rinse and wipe it off. There was hair in the shower and bathroom floor. The breakfast options were not good and nothing was gluten free so I couldn't eat anything. For the price that I had to pay to stay at a Hilton, I expected better.

We specifically booked this property because they advertised an indoor heated pool and hot tub. Upon arriving, we discovered the hot tub drained and unavailable, and the pool ice cold. This was the primary reason for choosing Homewood Suites and had we known these amenities were not available, we would have booked elsewhere. At no point did staff make us aware of this, either before or during checkin.

Overall hotel was comfortable. Valet parking personnel exceptional. All personnel pleasant. Had gone down to front desk to ask a technical question. Was assured someone would come to the room. No one did as far as I know. Dreadful coffee though. Need to upgrade the plastic coffee makers and coffee. Not drinkable

Adoption Trip
I can’t say enough good things. We were there for two weeks as we adopted our daughter and visited CHOP. The staff was absolutely amazing. From the valet guys and custodial staff to the front desk and managers, they all “adopted” our daughter as well. This hotel and staff will forever live in our hearts. They made our first two weeks as parents wonderful.
