Across recent reviews, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ft. Washington - Philadelphia by IHG is praised for friendly service, clean, spacious rooms, and a standout complimentary breakfast, plus a convenient location near major roads and the SEPTA train.

Guests like the outdoor pool and fitness room, and free parking is convenient, though a few mention limited spaces or a rough back lot, and pool hours can feel restrictive. Room comfort is generally solid and suites are roomy, but some report firm pillows or mattresses, weak shower pressure or HVAC noise, slow Wi‑Fi, and occasional housekeeping or reservation hiccups. Overall, expect a clean, friendly, good‑value stay just outside Philadelphia.

This is a great stay for those having a trip in Philly. It’s only about a 30-45 minute drive to the touristy things like Independence Hall, Betsy Ross House, Elfreth’s Alley, Reading Terminal Market, Philadelphia Magic Gardens, Barnes Foundation Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Rocky Steps, and the PHL Airport. Most importantly the parking is FREE and there’s a huge selection in the back. The hotel also offers a great free breakfast (options include: pancakes, orange juice, coffee, eggs, sausage links, sausage patties, potatoes, muffins, cinnamon rolls, bagels, etc.). There’s also a Starbucks literally next door within walking distance and some other local dinning gems for dinner on the way back to the hotel. Another perk is the hotel is very clean and the staff is super friendly. Overall, our family is very happy we booked our stay in Philly here at the Holiday Inn.

The hotel was extremely comfortable and overall clean. However, there were some dirty yet rolled towels / wash cloths. We had enough clean ones to not complain though. I LOVE that they had Dove unscented (some seventies too) products for the bathroom. Usually hotels have only scented products. Their breakfast set up / menu was pretty standard however the layout was very organized and clean! The pancake maker not only thrilled my kids but adults too. Seating was comfortable. Markel (I believe was his name) did a GREAT job cleaning as soon as someone finished eating. He even assisted with my kids mess as they actively ate. Their was a lady who’s name starts with an L (I’m bad with names, I believe that it was Linda) who also assisted me as I fed my kids. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. She even gave us tips for our trip

Stayed for 3 days and 3 nights, leading up to New Years day. Staff is extremely friendly and hospitable. We stayed in a suite with a king bed. Room was clean but bed is hard. And the HVAC system in the bedroom was working sporadically. The couch in the living area was uncomfortable with high arm rests. I wish the room had a kitchen of some sort. It only had a mini fridge and microwave. Definitely did not feel like a complete suite. The staff for the continental breakfast was amazing but the eggs are definitely box eggs and taste horrible. Mainly ate toast and freshly made pancakes.

The property is clean, well cared-for, has a very helpful staff and a tasty complimentary breakfast. It's walking distance from a Wawa (kind of like Philly's local QuikTrip) for basic convenience needs and has a small shop off the lobby for common travel necessities. The hotel is also practically next door to the Fort Washington SEPTA train station to get you downtown faster than an Uber or cab for a fraction of the price.

We have stayed at many Holiday Inn Express hotels, and this by far was the best one! The room and the hotel were very clean. They provided us with plenty of towels and washcloths, as well as full-size toiletries in the shower and on the wall in the sink area. And they were very unisex friendly being that they were Dove products and unscented. Also, while usually the hot breakfast that is included have typically been pretty good, this one went the extra mile with more food options including fresh baked, cinnamon rolls and friendly service. Would definitely recommend!

There is a reason they have a 9.2 rating here. The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful. The room was huge and very comfortably fit my family of 6 with a big living room with a pull out couch and a good size bedroom with 2 queen beds. The free breakfast was the best I’ve ever experienced at any hotel with a huge selection that varied the two days I was there - hot protein choices, oatmeal bar, fresh pancakes, at least 7 choices of milk including lactose free and almond milk, fresh cinnamon buns, and the list goes on. Delicious. I appreciated their fine for smoking because I didn’t have to smell weed like I have in many other hotels recently. Everything was clean and wonderful. Amazing stay. My kids want to go back.
