Fodor's Expert Review Philadelphia 201 Hotel
201 N. 17th St., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19103, USA
Although it's a convenient convention hotel, this large Marriott hotel caters to both business and leisure travelers; at this writing ongoing renovations were due to be completed by mid-2020. Rooms (request a renovated one), decorated in tan, gray, and light blue, feature oversize desks, large flat-screen TVs, and Starbucks coffee. The hotel has a fitness room and business center. Though it's in close proximity to many good Center City dining options, there are two restaurants on-site: The Terrace Cafe, serving breakfast; and the Local Cafe, which features lunch, dinner, and a bar.
PROS
- good location between Parkway museums and convention center
- contemporary rooms
- great city or Parkway views from some rooms
CONS
- large convention crowds
- in-house dining not great
- some service issues
