Rooms Nicely Renovated

I stayed here last year and was pleasantly surprised to find the rooms renovated, with very good quality work and fixtures. Road access is excellent and great location along the river and next to a park. I'll definitely be staying here on my next visit to the area.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay at the Waterfront Inn. Our room was clean and spacious with a river view. Room had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The front desk person was friendly and had us checked in quickly. We especially enjoyed sitting on the waterfront patio and watching the boats cruising by and airplanes flying overhead. Will stay again

Absolutely amazing

Hotel hospitality was excellent Mr. Prince,was polite and friendly. Prince will go the extra mile and make you feel valued. He showed genuine care and patience. Always listen to our concerns. Hotel overall is great we love and will be back.
Nicole, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great value and comfort.

We stayed there due to being about 10 miles from Citizens bank park 1x and 2x due to the “park, sleep, and fly” aspect to fly out of PHL. The beds are comfy and rooms are nicer as they have been recently renovated. There was some visible dust on the top of baseboards and also no elevators to navigate the 3 floors. It’s our go-to when staying in that area. Also some GREAT food near by, less than 1 mile, Pho Philly and America’s pie for pizza.

Very nice hotel

Do not let the outside appearance fool you once you step inside those rooms they are very nice they’re clean. They are updated and very modern. You get a beautiful view of the water and your next to a nice park.

Good place to enjoy the weekend
luis, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoyable atmosphere

The only reason why it wasn't a 5- star review was due to 3 things: 1) no shuttle after midnight from the he airport (you find it later mentioned at the end of the reservation; 2) nobody to greet you after 11:00 p.m. (you need to go to the lobby of a nearby hotel to get your key, but it was a flawless transaction) and; 3) there wasn't any real breakfast to speak of. I have been in cheaper hotels that offered a breakfast. There was only a coffee option in the room/front office.

Positively surprised by the room condition

Positively surprised by the room condition. The outside and area are somewhat isolated, and the other hotel by the side is much better but also more expensive. I was able to get water, drinks and breakfast on this other hotel.
