Across reviews, Independence Park Hotel, BW Premier Collection is praised for its walkable Old City location near historic sites, friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms, plus charming historic character and lobby touches like cookies, hot chocolate, and afternoon refreshments.
Rooms often run small in this historic building, but high ceilings, quiet interiors and comfortable beds are common. Parking is off site in a nearby garage and generally straightforward with a hotel pass, though some find it inconvenient. A few guests reported front desk missteps, room type mix ups, or HVAC and breakfast inconsistencies, but most describe a pleasant, walkable stay.

Easy load in area to check in to property in front of the hotel and easy directions to reaching adjacent parking garage. It is a one time $28 parking fee but it is in and out privileges and worth it vs. finding parking on your own if you have a car. Quiet and comfy bed, a very charming Old City hotel in Philly. Exactly what we wanted! Walkable to everything and much cleaner and exciting vs. Center City.

The location of the hotel is fantastic - heart of historical district, block from Independence Hall - across the street from American Rev. War Museum. Walkable to so many restaurants and sites. Hotel breakfast was great - plenty of options to fuel up. Hotel parking is a block away - no problem. Would stay here again if in the Philadelphia area.

The hotel was wonderful. It is located in the historic district across from the Museum of the American Revolution and just a couple of blocks away from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Everything was clean and comfy. Staff were all friendly. The only downside is parking. You have to park in a parking garage that is a couple of blocks away which isn’t a deal breaker but really inconvenient. And you pay $23 per day. We knew that when we booked our reservation so that’s on us.

I came here for the liberty bell waffles and I was not disappointed! They were delicious! Hotel was very clean and they had a nice hot chocolate bar in the lobby. The only negative was the gym was at an offsite place an 8 minute walk away.

We really loved our stay at the hotel! The staff was super friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The room was very clean and quiet . The parking that is available as an additional option was very convenient and close to the hotel. We enjoyed our complimentary breakfast and it was a nice touch to make the liberty bell waffles. We will be definitely coming back again.

We stayed two weeknights for part of a family sight-seeing trip. The hotel is in a great location for walking to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and some other historic spots—it is right across the street from the Museum of the American Revolution. The area felt safe and the building is just gorgeous. We didn’t love the parking situation in a garage a block and a half away. Our room was on the smaller side, but the crazy high ceilings made it feel much bigger. The beds were comfortable and the space was very clean. The water pressure was bad, but I guess that’s to be expected in an old building. The kids loved the free hot chocolate and cookies in the evenings and the liberty bell waffles in the mornings. The breakfast was otherwise pretty standard. Not a huge variety, but enough. Overall we would stay again.

Highly recommend this boutique hotel in the heart of Old City. We booked the most inexpensive room with a queen bed, but it was more than adequate for a night. The tall ceilings made the room feel spacious enough. The hotel was spotless and the room was the cleanest I’ve experienced in a very long time. There was no view to speak of, but that was not an issue for a night. Staff was helpful and friendly at every interaction. The hotel is in a great location and within walking distance of many restaurants and sites. The a/c was adequate and very quiet and the hotel itself was very quiet. No earplugs needed to sleep! We skipped the included breakfast, but it looked above par for a hotel breakfast. There’s no valet parking, but they will give you a pass at check in for a garage about a block and a half away. It was very reasonable at $23/night. You can park in the loading zone in front of the hotel for 30 mins at check in and check out. The nightly rate is quite reasonable compared to other hotels in the area. Can’t wait to return!

This is a well maintained historic hotel in the heart of Old City, directly across the street from the Museum of the American Revolution and steps away from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Lots of great restaurants are within walking distance too. However centrally located, our room was quiet-no noise from the street below. The hallways are narrow, as is typical of older hotels, but the room felt surprisingly spacious and some great period details made the decor memorable. Breakfast is served in the atrium downstairs. Standard fair but plenty of it and a friendly wait staff. Cookies served in the lobby every afternoon, along with the coffee and tea that are always available, provided a nice homey touch! We would definitely stay here again.

Pros: Great location in Olde City; easy to walk to all attractions. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Our only complaint was that we weren’t able to control the room temperature. We set the room temp to 66° when we first arrived but it never cooled down. By the time we left the thermostat was saying that it was 76° in the room.

Arrived mid day and advised room would not be ready until 4.00 (appreciate this is fairly standard). Was offered an available room for earlier check in for additional charge of $75. This was swiftly reduced to $50 as special deal. We accepted this offer as just to leave our bags until a room was made ready was $10 charge. Felt hotel using this ploy with guests to generate additional income. Bedroom and bathroom both extremely small and dated. By the time the additional charges have been applied no way worth the money and Would not stay again. Man who dealt with check in abrupt to the point of rudeness.

While the property is very nice and in a great location, I was not given the double room that I booked on hotels.com. Instead they put us in a standard room with one queen bed. When I went back to the desk to ask the front desk person was not very accommodating and tried to act like I didn’t understand what I booked. I showed him the photo on hotels.com of the room showing two beds and my receipt which clearly said double queen room. He was not very friendly and told me he didn’t have any rooms with two beds . He put us in a tiny room with and queen and a pull out sofa bed which was terrible. It had a “mattress “ that was maybe three inches thick and extremely uncomfortable. I paid to have a comfortable bed to sleep in not a pull out sofa that I had to put the sheets on myself. We stayed in the room because we were from out of town and needed to sleep somewhere . When leaving the next day a room was being cleaned right next to the elevator and it was a double queen room which was clearly large and had two beds . The front desk guy really gaslighted me and acted like I was confused and that the hotel didn’t have rooms with two beds. And on top of that his attitude let me know he could have cared less to help me. I most definitely did not get what paid for. Far from it. Very disappointing.
While the property is very nice and in a great location, I was not given the double room that I booked on hotels.com. Instead they put us in a standard room with one queen bed. When I went back to the desk to ask the front desk person was not very accommodating and tried to act like I didn’t understand what I booked. I showed him the photo on hotels.com of the room showing two beds and my receipt which clearly said double queen room. He was not very friendly and told me he didn’t have any rooms with two beds . He put us in a tiny room with and queen and a pull out sofa bed which was terrible. It had a “mattress “ that was maybe three inches thick and extremely uncomfortable. I paid to have a comfortable bed to sleep in not a pull out sofa that I had to put the sheets on myself. We stayed in the room because we were from out of town and needed to sleep somewhere .

The staff beginning with Craig provided a warm welcome. The other team members were always ready to engage in conversation and were helpful. The location is great and made it easy to walk and explore the Old City.

This is a well maintained historic hotel in the heart of Old City, directly across the street from the Museum of the American Revolution and steps away from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Lots of great restaurants are within walking distance too. However centrally located, our room was quiet-no noise from the street below. The hallways are narrow, as is typical of older hotels, but the room felt surprisingly spacious and some great period details made the decor memorable. Breakfast is served in the atrium downstairs. Standard fair but plenty of it and a friendly wait staff. Cookies served in the lobby every afternoon, along with the coffee and tea that are always available, provided a nice homey touch! We would definitely stay here again.

The location of the hotel is fantastic - heart of historical district, block from Independence Hall - across the street from American Rev. War Museum. Walkable to so many restaurants and sites. Hotel breakfast was great - plenty of options to fuel up. Hotel parking is a block away - no problem. Would stay here again if in the Philadelphia area.

You couldn't ask for a better location. The free hot breakfast & room fridge was convenient. They had cookie in the afternoon & on Wednesdays they have a wine/cheese options too. There is always coffee/tea/iced lemon water available in the lobby too. Great place 👍👍

Great location near Independence Mall. You park your car in a parking garage a couple of blocks from the hotel, which requires a key card from the front desk. Staff is super accommodating about letting you hang onto the card after you check out if you’re sightseeing!

My anniversary is on Valentine's Day, which, this year was a long weekend with President's Day on Monday. The location of this hotel was perfect for a winter weekend trip to Philadelphia -- we loved being across from the American Revolutionary Museum, cookie hour, hot chocolate and warm inviting atmosphere at Independence Park Hotel. Great breakfast buffet with friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.

Hotel was extremely accommodating of our late check in. Room was lovely and clean with very comfortable bed. Coffee making facilities was great and coffee was in our room was much better than the coffee served with the breakfast which was disappointing. Limited choice and the hot options were far from hot. Overall a good hotel, with very helpful staff but the breakfast let it down.

Clean interesting building, room was quite small but to be expected. Location in the old city is great for a looking at the historical sites, but sadly many bars and restaurants are still closed, presumably from Covid. By American standards the breakfast was fairly poor, by uk standards it was inedible. Nothing was freshly prepared, and the non-fresh OJ, was rank. Plastic plates and no coffee cups. Better options (at a price) elsewhere like the red owl, or the egg cellant down the road. No bar or restaurant, so I would probably not revisit. Staff were pleasant and professional at all times.

Good, convenient location. Room was small but very nicely appointed and quiet at night. The included breakfast was disappointing and the blaring television made the space inhospitable. I never saw more than one staff person at a time. It’s a nice place to stay but there wasn’t much hospitality.

Daily Breakfast-included variety of drinks, pastries, breads, fruits, cereal,yogurt with toppings , waffle maker, and main entre was consistent daily. Great Breakfast!

We stayed two weeknights for part of a family sight-seeing trip. The hotel is in a great location for walking to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and some other historic spots—it is right across the street from the Museum of the American Revolution. The area felt safe and the building is just gorgeous. We didn’t love the parking situation in a garage a block and a half away. Our room was on the smaller side, but the crazy high ceilings made it feel much bigger. The beds were comfortable and the space was very clean. The water pressure was bad, but I guess that’s to be expected in an old building. The kids loved the free hot chocolate and cookies in the evenings and the liberty bell waffles in the mornings. The breakfast was otherwise pretty standard. Not a huge variety, but enough. Overall we would stay again.

Everyone who works at the property is wonderful - super helpful and cordial. I had to check in later in the evening and that was no problem. My room was clean and the a/c got everything cool quickly. The breakfast was great and I really appreciated the Liberty Bell waffles - it’s worth a stay just for those!
