HIX - Ft. Washington Philadelphia
What is your Priority Club status? Platinum
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Yes
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked two queen room. Received two queen suite.
How are the rooms? Newer design HIX. Suite was L-shaped with a much larger sitting area than typical for a HIX. I suspect the property was originally built as a different brand.
How is the exec. lounge? N/A
What was good and what was bad?
Good - Rooms are very large size. Property is approx. 25 to 30 minutes to Philly. Good subway access though we didn't use it. Free parking. No junk destination fee.
Bad - Nothing.
Other - Easy access off of PA turnpike. Good location for Philly access when Center City rates are high..
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? All rates were high for the night of my stay. Paid 30K points (less %10 rebate) which is high for a suburban HIX; however, was good compared to other IHG and Marriott options in the area for this stay. I would return without hesitation when back in the area.
