Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown/Center City
Rooms were small but well-appointed, nicer than I expected and had nice decor. Staff was very friendly and greeted me with a warm smile where ever I went. The breakfast was meh, but not below the standard for a free hotel breakfast bar. Overall a great value close to a lot of Philly landmarks.
