Hotels near Eastern State Penitentiary

"Good Customer Service, room was nice and clean"

"First time in Philly and we enjoyed our stay at the Kimpton Palomar. The staff were all nice and helpful, the property was clean, our room was great (good value) and the location is excellent. We will stay here again."

"Very nice room. "

"We stayed here in May of 2026 and had a great time. The property has excellent security but not too "in your face." The room was very clean, the water pressure perfect, and the beds are extremely comfortable. There are two restaurants at the hotel, an Irish pub and one serving Asian cuisine, both very good. (There is also small Target and a large Whole Foods Market that are about a 7 or 8 minutes walk away if you feel like cooking or just want to stock up on snacks.) And of course there other restaurants in walking distance. Speaking of the neighborhood - hotel is at the beginning of the museum district, you can walk to the Ben Franklin Institute, the Rodin Museum, the Barnes Collection, the Philadelphia Art Museum, and the main branch of the library which is like a museum. All are dazzling - actually a little overwhelming! Back to the hotel be sure to check out the rooftop pool and terrace, we got some beautiful photos and found it a peaceful way to end the day. Most of all a shout out to the staff. From the greeting when we drove up to the man who assisted us in packing the car as we left everyone was friendly and professional. The restaurant servers were helpful and knowledgeable. There were a few minor issues in our room that Engineering immediately fixed. The front desk staff was friendly, patient with our questions, and in general went above and beyond for us. Thanks to all for a great stay in a great city."

"Stayed here for a conference. Staff not clear in their communications or helpful in general. Tried to charge me for early check in when I had paid for the night begore so that I could check in. Room was cold."

"Awesome!"

"Love the downtown location."

"Good location good deco. The standard rooms are much better than the suites"

"My stay was ideal for a short trip with a comfortable and safe stay. The bed was not that comfortable however it wasn’t mine so glad it wasn’t long term. Overall I’d recommend the hotel to others! Spacious and very clean."
