We stay at the lathan all the time, the valet parking is great, its around all the main stores on walnut st, barnes and noble many places to eat, and transportation. its not big bit its cozy private and not a dump. I like the bar/resturante down stairs free internet and gym. no room service, but if you want to go to the waldorf book there. this is cozy and quiet.

So sad - this used to be a great little hotel, and it is in a wonderful area of the city. But it is old, dirty, they closed the restaurant months ago but don't tell you that when you register. What city hotel doesn't have room service? Clearly they are struggling financially and cutting every corner they can. They even de-commissioned the ice machines except on 2 floors - but they don't tell you that either. I would not have minded if they told us the truth when we reserved, but they did not. Dirty also - I think it has been a very long time since the bedspread has been cleaned. I won't stay there again, and I used to love it. Very sad.

I had high hopes when I originally booked the hotel. The website (though a little outdated) gave positive information and decent pictures. When I arrived at the hotel, it was obvious that the photos had been taken many years ago. The rooms were relatively clean, the bathrooms updated however the bedding was very outdated (probably from the 80's), and the furniture had no finish. It's as if the furniture had been acquired from Goodwill with no repair or refinish. The bed was very springy (it squeaked), the ice maker on the 10th floor did not work and the restaurant was boarded up and the staff had no idea when it might re-open. While the hotel offers itself as a three-star hotel, it is more likely that it should be a one-star hotel. Pay the few extra dollars and stay elsewhere. This hotel is NO bargain.

Overall, I was happy with my stay at the hotel. What stood out for me was the great customer service I received from the front desk and the Doorman. I would definitely stay here again.

My opinion of this Philly hotel in a nutshell is EXCELLENT! Everything about this place I would highly recommend. Great location, comfortable, great view, great value, friendly staff, etc. With that being said it made our trip that much more enjoyable! K. Wuest
