The washing machine broke, our clothes sat in a pool.of water until someone came to fix it the next day. My kids missed school because their school uniforms were in that of clothes. I had just gotten out of hospital andneeded to relax for a follow up Dr's appt on Tuesday and had to wear pajamas to my appointment. They on gave usenan extended checkout until 12noon and our clothes were still not ready and the hotel also shut off the tv and house keeping kept knocking on and opening the door as if we were not having an issue. The front desknwas notified multiple time and the communication was terrible. I feel as though I should be compensated for this major inconvience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was dirty and the staff was extremely rude. I originally booked through Expedia when I got there they told me my reservation had been cancelled I never received any email or notification saying that my reservation was cancelled. Then I asked to book a room in person and the price was $60 more than my booking on Expedia. Then the girl charged my card twice and when I told her she double charged she gave such an attitude saying she didn’t do that maybe it was the charge from Expedia but I used a complete different card so when I told her that she said my bank must have double charged me. It was a horrible experience from the beginning, and my room was dirty.

Will not stay again.

Room smelled. Moved to a new room. Also smelled. Dirty carpets had not been vacuumed in ages, rips in the rugs, food sprayed on walls and ceiling, room not equipped at all. Ice maker not working. Shower knob not working. Altogether a terrible disappointment. Breakfast food was old and stale.

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.
