Sleep Inn Center City

If you want an inexpensive, clean hotel with a small breakfast buffet, extremely comfortable beds and a kind staff, this is the place for you. It reminds me of a little European hotel. I stayed there this past weekend and I left relaxed and refreshed. It’s right in the middle of Chinatown but on a quiet street, close to Reading Terminal Market, and great restaurants — both in Chinatown and further south below Market St. It’s close to the Market-​Frankford subway line. I am still dreaming about the bed. Most comfortable sleep I’ve had in years. I almost didn’t want to write a review because I want this place to be my little escape…

I really can’t say enough about the Sleep Inn, Center City. I stayed here with my dad and sister while in town for a college visit. When I booked our stay I didn’t realize the hotel was in the middle of China Town (it made for some great food) but we never had any issues with noise.
The staff were incredibly professional and very helpful. Check in was a breeze, they gave us a late checkout and allowed us to store our luggage.
What impressed us all the most were the rooms of this «two star» hotel. We stayed in a double queen room and the beds and pillows were SO COMFORTABLE. Towels in the bathroom were softer than I would expect from a hotel of this ranking and the bathroom was so well done. Great shower with good water pressure and an awesome tub for a relaxing bath. The room was clean and quiet and decorated so well.
Breakfast was tasty, even if a touch on the simple side. It got the day going and was included in our stay.
We only stayed for one night but I would have been incredibly happy staying for a week or more. I’ll definitely be staying here when I come to visit my sister at school. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Decent hotel, clean basic room, fairly good breakfast, at a decent price. The wifi is pretty good also. However, it is one block from the fire department, and a fairly busy fire department, at least during my stay.
The price was fair, and it is certainly convenient to the convention center, the Reading Market, and the restaurants of Chinatown. I want to give it a better rating but between the fire house, and the fact that my room (408) over looks an alley with dumpsters, the noise was a bit much.
I found the staff friendly and personable. The room was clean, which is really my highest priority.

I booked my room early morning before I arrived. It was a last minute trip. I thought oh well I’ll leave now and just check out Chinatown before check in time. Well, this happened on like the coldest day of the year and the wind chills were blustery to add to it. I walked in the lobby and said «What are the chances of an early check in?» face beat red almost wind burnt. The woman at the desk pulled up my info and handed me a key no questions asked.
When I got to my room they were still cleaning the surrounding rooms. I was so pleased at this because I was able to to stop and say hello and give them that please don’t judge me when I leave look. I said I’m only here for the night so in case I don’t see you here you go. (Always tip btw) I left for the store and when I came back it was like a spring day had just left my room on the most coldest day of the year. This made me plan the next morning that I wasn’t quite ready to leave. Instead of extended check out I just called down and extended my stay just one more night. Breakfast was amazing. I’m running out of room so let’s just say I ended up leaving after the third night after only planning to stay for one.

It was clean. Close to everything. Included breakfast and WiFi. Parking was $ 25 but you gonna pay that or more anywhere in Center City unless you find street parking. Nice renovated rooms and good service. Great location in Chinatown if you plan on going out or eating late.

The hotel is REALLY nice for the price. The outside place is deff NOT as good. It is literally at the middle of busy Chinatown. One good perk is, it’s only one block away from delicious restaurants. I came here for a school interview, and parking was extremely stressful. It cost 25 dollars PER a day. But one good thing is, this location is near the liberty bell and other popular tourist locations. So instead of driving, I was able to walk to the Liberty bell within 20 minutes and saved the trouble of parking and etc. the pictures of the hotel room is EXACTLY what they posted. Overall, I’m happy with the price and my stay

Manager here was blatantly racist. I am a 40ish black woman, I was checked in on a Sunday night by a lovely young woman with no problems, and checked out Monday morning. Unforeseen circumstances occurred and I needed to stay another night. I called in advance to reserve a room. When I arrived I waited as the manager help someone else. I gave the manager my debit card and wow the nerve, the manager actually called my card company in front of me to verify that the funds were on my card. Then the next slap in the face occurred when I checked my card statement to see that the manager had put a hold for two nights on my card. No they were not the charge for the previous day for that had already cleared. I called my card company and asked about it. They stated both the pending charges occurred at the same time. I then called the front desk to see if this was a company policy and was told it was. Then I call their corporate headquarters and asked if it was a company policy and told it was not. If you don’t want to feel like a criminal or like you did something wrong, I suggest you do not deal with the manager here but deal with the other staff who were great. Also the Manager has written a review like he is a guest on google review.

I was a big fan. Clean, cute room. Decent free breakfast. Large tv, work deck space, microwave, fridge. Ridiculously large bathroom. Wifi was fast enough to stream.
I mention these things because I was attending a conference at Loews and people were complaining about not having any of these things but paid almost twice as much as me.

A little surprised that there’s a hotel right in Chinatown. Also surprised just how nice the hotel is. It’s very clean. Our room was facing another building but compared to how nice the hotel is, I can’t really complain. Wi-​fi only worked well on the 2^nd floor. I couldn’t get any access in my room (4^th floor). The bathroom was pretty big actually– loved it. Breakfast area was somewhat small but it was kind of continental plus eggs, sausages, oatmeals, waffles, yogurt

3-​star worthy; A-​OK.
Sleep Inn is definitely not a hotel… not quite a motel… is «inn’ its own category? Well, it wasn’t anything to go home and tell the whole world about. At the core, you get what you pay for… For a location that’s close to the city center, Sleep Inn offers fairly modest pricing; that being said, their services are very limited.
the front desk staff makes sure to tell all the customers to make sure you do not have a «do not disturb» sign up past 11am, because once the housekeeping staff comes through a certain floor, they will not come back (and are off by 4pm).
The ‘workout facility’ is literally one treadmill and an exercise bike in a small room (which I did not see anyone use). The location is right at the edge of Chinatown, a block to the east of Reading Terminal. Great setup, good access to all the great food in Chinatown.
Overall, the only reason I booked this accommodating was the lack of availability during busy conference season in April. Would I stay here again? Perhaps, if it is the last location that is within reasonable walking distance to city center… However, this would most definitely not be my first option.
