The bed was very comfortable. The ice machine on the second floor didn’t work so we had to walk back to the entrance to use the one machine. Our tub was terrible it seem as if it was broken. The tub had a major dent in the middle that made me slip and fall which made me avoid the tub for the remainder of my stay.

Stayed here a couple of times this is an older hotel that was trying to make it look better. The effort is well applauded, but I think they need to continue it a little bit further. I would definitely stay here again. Rooms are decent. Food is good free parking.

Breakfast was good, the pool did not regulate rules so it was not a great experience there. The room was moderately clean. The elevator was not the best, so we ended up taking the stairs the rest of the time.

Staff were nice and very accommodating. Complementary breakfast was excellent. Felt like I was sleeping in a hole on the mattress, bathroom was very small, and the rugs were kind of gross. We literally got stuck in the elevator because we exceeded the four person capacity while the other elevator was out of order. Lobby furniture was old also.

Overall, I found the room to be very dirty. The carpet left our feet/socks black and the washroom was not cleaned during housekeeping hours— we received clean towels but other than that, nothing was cleaned or changed out. I was very disappointed with this hotel. The only upside was the breakfast.

If anyone enjoys staying in hotel with fee bead bugs, then this is perfect choice. But for me it was a nightmare, got bitten by them, then shook some of them off to the sink. Disgusting, and very unprofessional. Had to work all day, with equipment troubleshooting after all. This place isn’t for me ever again. John

Room had hair everywhere. The bathroom sink was dirty. Tub had mold in it. The floor had stains everywhere. It wasn’t even the room I asked for. My kids were so tired i literally scrubbed everything and took the loss. The worst part I was on the first floor and the exit door to outside didn’t even lock. But I wouldn’t return.

Hotel is centrally located between Philadelphia and Sesame Place. Room was large enough for two adults and a toddler. AC worked and kept the room cold after a hot day. Staff was very friendly, regardless of the time of day we interacted with them. Biggest complaints: - The bed was the most uncomfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. The mattress bowed in the middle, I was left with a sore back after my two night stay. It was obvious the mattress hadn't been flipped or replaced in a long time. - One of the two elevators was out of order, and the one that was working was not confidence inspiring. We opted to take the stairs during our stay. Our room was showing its age (cracked paint, fan controls for sitting area were handwritten in Sharpie) but served its purpose.

She was pleasant and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area and the hotel details. The morning breakfast was nice, always a place to sit even with a wedding party in attendance and the areas were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

The Holiday Inn Express NE Philadelphia/Bensalem is not a hotel; it’s a poorly managed disaster. If you’re considering staying here, don’t. Pitch a tent at a gas station instead—you’ll have better service and fewer headaches. The one pro? The breakfast wasn’t terrible. But everything else? A nightmare. The entire hotel reeks of marijuana, with guests treating their rooms like permanent apartments, complete with welcome mats. Room 316? A health hazard. The bathtub didn’t drain, forcing speed showers or standing in ankle-deep mystery water. The air conditioning rattled like it was falling apart, and the bathroom fan? Useless, moldy, and screeching. Saturday night, our room keys stopped working, forcing us to drag our exhausted child to the lobby. The front desk employee brushed it off with, “Oh, this just happens,” handed us one working key, and ignored the rest. When I called to complain, she hung up on me repeatedly. I had to confront her in the lobby, where she called her manager on her personal cell. The manager? Yelled at me like I caused the issues. By Tuesday, the same manager escalated the situation. After refusing to fix anything or address her staff’s behavior, she claimed I was the problem, asked me to leave, and denied a refund. The police had to get involved before I finally got my refund. Save yourself the misery and stay somewhere else instead.

We have stayed at this location many many times. It’s our favorite when we travel to Pa. We like the convenience and the surrounding places to go. Your front desk staff are very helpful and professional. I would like to mention Iterra, she is always pleasant and helpful. As a returning customer I love walking in and seeing her big smile. She checks on us daily to see if there was anything we needed. Prior to 6 yrs ago we stayed at the Hampton Inn on street road. We now stay at your location. It feels like home away from home. Love having coffee whenever we like, the breakfast is better than most Thank you for a great stay we will be back in 4 months.

Really great stay overall but getting into the room was a problem. I made this reservation for my husband and called ahead of time to see if it was ok that my name was on the reservation not his. They assured me that there would be no issue. Unfortunately, when my husband arrived they almost didn’t let him stay because of this. I had to beg them to let him stay and promise that it’s me who made the reservation. Luckily, upper management did let him in, but we almost lost the reservation because of the conflicting information.

Room we stayed was supposed to be non-smoking, but smell of smoke was everywhere. Staff at reception at check-in wasn't friendly at all, basic questions we asked were responded with raised eye-browse and repeating the same thing back to us over. For the price charged for one night stay they could really do a better job keeping rooms smoke-free and also perhaps teaching their reception basics in customer greeting and interaction.

My family stayed 3 nights for WrestleMania weekend. The property was everything we hoped for. Clean, quiet and next to a bunch of amenities (supermarket, Dunkin Donuts, Walmart, Wawa, etc) and was a simple ride into the city where the events took place. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was plentiful and delicious (they had things like a pancake maker, cheese or veggie omelets, sausage gravy and biscuits, etc). I would stay there again next time I need to go to the Philly area.

This chain still using styrofoam plates? Are paper plates that expensive? The most bland and unloved scrambled eggs from chickens who sold their souls to the mega-farm evil corporation. Free breakfast indeed. Room was a bit tight in the aisle between the beds and TV wall. Dated bathrooms with DYI tile work and carpentry. Pillows were lumpy and not supportive. Room was clean and staff were nice. Ok place to crash but not worth $150 a night!
