This property is really worn down. Hallways were dirty, room smelled musty, door didn’t close properly, half the power outlets were broken, no soap in the bathroom, towels smelled weird, furniture was damaged, etc.

The property was dirty and the staff was extremely rude. I originally booked through Expedia when I got there they told me my reservation had been cancelled I never received any email or notification saying that my reservation was cancelled. Then I asked to book a room in person and the price was $60 more than my booking on Expedia. Then the girl charged my card twice and when I told her she double charged she gave such an attitude saying she didn’t do that maybe it was the charge from Expedia but I used a complete different card so when I told her that she said my bank must have double charged me. It was a horrible experience from the beginning, and my room was dirty.

Will not stay again.
Room smelled. Moved to a new room. Also smelled. Dirty carpets had not been vacuumed in ages, rips in the rugs, food sprayed on walls and ceiling, room not equipped at all. Ice maker not working. Shower knob not working. Altogether a terrible disappointment. Breakfast food was old and stale.

Great trip.....small things off
Great customer service the whole time!!! They even opened the breakfast area so we could try to see the fireworks!! Great location. We walked from Amtrak station. The pool had a crying screaming toddler for almost 30min till we walked out, thats just bad fellow guests. The pool didn't look the cleanest, let the kids play but i stayed out. The room was great for family of 4! Almost full size fridge was great, and utensils, saved us! The pull out sofa had some sort of big stain that looked like a bad clean up job of blood or poop! Again amazing customer service and nicest staff!!!

I had an excellent stay at the Homewood Suites by Hilton University City! The location is incredibly convenient, especially if you’re visiting Penn or Drexel, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and attractions nearby. The suites were spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, making it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen area was fully equipped, which was perfect for preparing meals, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The staff was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. The on-site amenities, including the fitness center and pool, were well-maintained and added to the overall experience.

Very disappointed that the indoor pool water was very cold so we could not enjoy it, the hot tub was not working or available. The toilet seat in the bathroom was covered in cleaning solution so I had to rinse and wipe it off. There was hair in the shower and bathroom floor. The breakfast options were not good and nothing was gluten free so I couldn't eat anything. For the price that I had to pay to stay at a Hilton, I expected better.
