I recently had an event at the Courtyard Marriott in downtown Philadelphia. I cannot say enough about this venue. To start the venue is located in the heart of downtown Philadelphia. It is right across from City Hall, right next to the Convention Center, which also happens to be right on top of a major train and subway station. It is convenient to get to and easily found. Additionally it is near all of the best restaurants and many other fine hotels for anyone to take advantage of when attending a meeting or event. There are even several different parking options available, whether you wan to use valet at the front door, there is a convenient self park covered lot at the back door, and even metered street parking around the corner. The facilities are exactly what one would need. While the space isnt very large, they do have multiple board rooms, enough for events up to 175 people. These spaces are nicely kept with views of city hall, comfortable seating, and well laid out. They offer all the services you would need for an event from TVs to podiums to projectors. On top of that the food is not only a great value, but delicious. The executive chef met with me prior to the event to taste and review the food options and I was pleasantly surprised. He went out of his way to make it a memorable event offering delicious food and catering to any specific needs I requested. I even received many compliments from my guests. Lastly, the service and friiendlinesss of the staff cannot be overlooked. They are so inviting once inside the venue, directing you where you need to go, always with a smile. They will answer any questions you have, offer suggestions for entertaininment and dining options nearby. This venue is truly an exceptional place with great value, in a great location, and a great staff!
My stay at the Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown was perfect. From the moment I pulled up to the valet to the moment my luggage was loaded back into the car for the drive home I was met with pleasant and accommodating staff. The entire hotel gives off a clean and trendy vibe to all who enter. Could not be more pleased with my time spent there.
