    Alarm clock with no power
    Billy S.

    First, when we pulled up we were told valet parking was full. But we could park across the street for $40 a night. Then when we checked into our suite we realized the air conditioning wasn't working in the main room, only in the bedroom. We notified the front desk twice. Then when we were leaving for the evening we went to the front desk again. We were asked if it was ok if someone went into the room while we were out to fix it. We said yes. When we got back it was around 1am and still not AC. So we had no choice but to put the AC in the bedroom as low as possible and leave the door open so my kids sleeping on the pullout couch weren't so hot. Didn't work too well since the AC doesn't go below 65. I'd avoid this place!!!

    I stayed here for two weeks during the spring. I was excited to visit Philly and found a great hotel to stay in. The prices here were surprisingly affordable compared to the surrounding area. I was able to check in easily on a Monday. You enter through the ground level but had to go upstairs to the lobby. They have a restaurant and bar available if you are in need of nourishment. The staff guided me through the different offerings at the hotel. There is a snack mart with items for purchase. They offer free coffee in the morning with breakfast for an additional charge of $20. My first week I was on the 12th floor. It is almost like a studio apartment. You have your bed in one side and a table and fridge on the other. The bathroom was very spacious and provided everything I needed. It had great views of the city street. You also are facing directly at the hotel across the street which makes it slightly awkward if you have your blinds open at night. The bed was very comfortable. I enjoyed having a large table where I could set up my laptop and work easily. There was a microwave and fridge which provided me with storage for my food when needed. The second time I was put on the fourth floor which gave me a side view of the parking lot which was not as exciting. I did not try the food there but I did come down for daily coffee. I didn't want to spend five or six dollars every day going out for coffee. Fortunately, they had free coffee here. It was not the greatest in the world but it had caffeine. That was all I needed before heading out for the day. I did check out Attico Rooftop one night for happy hour. They do have drink and food specials available. During the weekends I assume everything gets crowded with party goers. Both weeks I was there they had weddings occurring. There is a large venue down the street so I assume everyone comes back here after. Overall, this is a great hotel and I will come back again.

    I've generally had really good experiences with Cambria hotels, but this one in Downtown Center City was a bit of a let down. At check-in, the credit card swiping machines weren't working at the desk. My family and I had two rooms booked for the night, and the woman checking us in gave my two family members for the first room a room that was actually already assigned to people. They got upstairs, held their card up to the door, and ended up walking in on a mother + daughter who were already in the room. Definitely not a great way to start a stay! The rooms themselves were off-putting. Glass in/around the bathroom didn't seem cleaned well, the bedding was dirty (turned down the comforter and almost seemed like someone had been in the bed with their sneakers on and it hadn't been cleaned/the bedding hadn't been changed), and I moved some pillows on the lounge furniture in the room only to find they were covering a really large stain... so that was pretty gross. For the cost of the room - and the $70+ valet(!) for the single overnight - I expected a lot more. Staff weren't especially helpful or pleasant (legit acted like they didn't really want to be bothered). Only ended up in this hotel because a friend of my mother's stayed in it recently and had good things to say - so my family and I decided to try it too. I've stayed in much better hotels in Philly though - and in much better locations. This wouldn't be a place I would recommend.

    Hey friends! I discovered this hotel on my travel agency site and it came highly recommended. Here's some of the pros and cons of Cambria Hotel: Pros: Beautiful views from rooms on the 15th floor Friendly Staff Rooftop Restaurant attached to the hotel 24/7 Mini Mart in the lobby with snacks and toiletries for purchase Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom Service dog friendly Walking distance from many attractions, restaurants, bars and Reading Terminal Cons: -No onsite parking. Parking is at your own expense. Valet, street or garage parking. I'll definitely would return for a stay at this hotel. Enjoy your stay

    Location is ok but the room and common areas were dirty. Not family friendly/safe feeling.

    Dirty sheets
    Wolf P.

    Unfortunately, this place fell extremely short. The staff were unprofessional, making advances at me multiple times throughout my stay. The sheets in my room were dirty and stained. The toilet ran all night long. My calls and inquiries for new bedding and maintenance went unanswered. I was forced to lay towels down on the bed due to the dirty bedding. Management (Steven Tyson) only reached out to me after I completed the online survey and even that was a hollow apology. I was not offered a refund or any other form of compensation. Terrible service. There are plenty of better hotels in the area.

    Bathroom

    We stayed here as a friends wedding was around the corner at The Lucy. The hotel itself is very nice and well decorated. I also really like the vibe of it. They have beautiful staircase that leads to the lobby. The lobby itself has a gorgeous fireplace and comfortable seating. The rooms are comfortable and big. The bed was also very comfortable. I was disappointed by 2 things in this hotel: The staff/service & the cleanliness. Staff/Service: Everyone always looked annoyed in general. I only dealt with the staff while checking in. We were the only ones there and she was checking her phone and barely acknowledged us. She also just looked annoyed that she even had to help us and I didn't understand the behavior especially for what we're paying. We also weren't making any demands, we were simply just checking in so it made no sense. The hotel did not have our room type ready so they did at least comp us and let us check out late, 1pm. The issue, no one communicates and someone walked into our room without even knocking at 11:30 in the morning the day of check out. This is definitely not something I expect at any hotel. Cleanliness: Our bedroom was fairly clean, no issues. However, our bathroom had hair on the shower walls and even when we had housekeeping come again, the hair was STILL there. When we sat in the lobby, the carpet was stained and there was some trash on the drum tables. We got to the lobby pretty early in the morning so it couldn't even have been previous people sitting there who created the mess. Location: It's pretty central to many things and public transport is right outside the hotel so that makes getting around without a car easy. Parking: Overnight parking at the hotel is very expensive. There is a garage across the street that's $10 cheaper and around the corner there is a garage that's $20 cheaper. Both garages were so close I definitely think it's not necessary to park at the hotel. If you found this helpful follow us on Instagram: @TheShahLALand

    Tear in towel

    I'm going to be perfectly honest when I say I'm over hotels no longer offering housekeeping. If you're not going to clean my room then at least have the decency to have it be presentable for when I check in. The Cambria misses the mark on so many levels. There's a questionable spot by the bed on the floor that I'm hoping is not someone's bodily fluids. There's a hole in the bath towel. There's a stain on the headboard. There's a stain in the toilet. You get the idea. The location is great but that's about where it ends. My husband and I stayed here for the Philly half weekend and although the lobby is nice the rooms are seriously lacking upkeep. Did I mention the spotty Wi-Fi? I expect better from a hotel if this price range. Oh, and the coin laundry is $5.75 to wash. No change available at the front desk. The front desk staff was super helpful and directed me to a coin laundry.

    Stain on "new" towel
    Tiffany H.

    The hotel lobby is on the second floor, there was a long queue for check in due to understaffing issues. Got in to a icy cold room and had to turn the heat up. Attempted to hop in the shower but the shampoo and the bath soap was none existent. The housekeeper did not restock the soaps. I also had problems getting the sink to drain, the toilet seat wasn't positioned right and was lopsided. I also believe the staff did not put clean towels since there were so many stains on most of them. They did not change the bed sheets either because there were multiple strands of different colored hair on the sheets when I pulled off the cover. Overall the cleanliness of the hotel is 1/10, the wait to get checked in is 2/10, and the amenities here are 2/10. It's a great location to be in the city but I wouldn't really recommend staying here. I also stayed on a weekend, there's a club bar upstairs near the top floor and I can hear the music blaring outside my room.

The decor speaks specifically to Philly icons -- Will Smith, Meek Mill, The Roots, Jilly from Philly (Jill Scott), etc. Whoever was the interior decorator did a great job with honoring those icons and the hip hop scene. The restaurant inside the hotel was great too. I don't have any complaints besides the steep valet prices. I will visit again.

Check-in was meh, the person at the front desk basically just handed me a key, a piece of paper, and told me to use the two elevators to the right. Cool, no other information, and considering there is an AMAZING fitness center you can access as a guest, maybe share that information. Inside the hotel keycard holder was also a free drink up in Pergola (19th floor?) which Pergola is not good at all, you can read that review separately. The room I was in was actually quite nice, it was clean, spacious, the a/c was weird and kept going on and off but the room was kept cool. No real complaints about the room. Parking is insanely expensive, you can go literally 2 blocks away in any direction and find parking for less money, AND if you have a large SUV or truck, it wont fit in their garage anyway. Price point to value seems off for this place. Also, one of the elevators went out in the main lobby for the higher floors, and it was excruciatingly slow to get up and down. What's amusing is my friend stayed two weeks earlier and the SAME elevator went out of service. So clearly this is a problem that needs fixing. There aer other elevator banks, but good luck finding them pending where your room is, and the front desk wont tell you. I hate to admit i'd stay here again, only because of a hotel credit I get with a credit card, that fitness center makes it worthwhile. If access to the fitness center goes away as a guest, I would stay elsewhere.
