We stayed for one night and couldn't have been happier. Barbara, at the front desk, was an excellent representative of the hotel and how helpful and friendly everyone is here. The rooms were big and clean and decorated beautifully. The location is great, we felt completely safe at all times. We are already planning our return trip!

We arrived at around midnight and checked in. The staff was friendly and welcoming and even upgraded us to a room with a beautiful view of city hall. The building itself is beautiful...I loved the plasterwork around the windows in the lobby. The rooms are decorated with a comtemporary design and are attractive. There are many updates and for the...

He accommodated our room request. The room has a tv,...

Was here for a conference in the convention centre. Arrived and departed by subway, this was very convenient. The staff were good and rooms clean. The hotel is slightly quirky in that it is an older building. I'd stay here again. BTW, as a Marriott Gold Rewards Member there were no extras other than WiFi upgrades.

We paid extra for a corner suite which turned out to be a waist of money due to the poor view on the fourth floor. Check in staff were not friendly. Location and cleanliness of the room were spot on.

The Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown is a classy, regal delight. Gorgeously restored building as a massive structure converted to the largest Marriott Courtyard in the USA. Friendly staff, reasonably-priced, very attractively appointed rooms. Perfectly located for us right in the middle of Philadelphia's Christmas holiday action. We will be back!
