I stayed at the 4P PHL for the Central NJ Mini Do - I didn't find it to be ghetto at all (even with the hotel losing my reservation made online).

I had a very worn room and smelly, no light bulbs in some of the lamps, broken remote, leaking shower, people screaming and running through the halls for a good portion of the night. When I went to the front desk all they did was :rolleyes: at me. :-:

I simply stay away from 4P now. I like Westin's and W's much better. ;)

How long ago was your stay? Were you on the SPG floor? Steph3n was also in the 4P PHL Airport and I didn't hear any complaints.

There is tape covering the broken formica table at my current local.

I didn't find the 4P PHL terrible either, it was nothing spectacular but it was a nice room to sleep and was quiet. I understand however there was a fire alarm just before I got back one night, or just after I left, don't remember.

They have an SPG floor that was maybe more quiet than the rest? I don't know for sure there. I did have an attempted holdup on parking fees (thinking I was doing park and fly and charged an insane rate!), but they quickly reversed it, I explained that I have a rental, and why would I want to pay for parking a rental car, when I am not returning to PHL for a loooong time(not in my plans at all)

The alarm was before we got back - I heard all about it in the boarding area at PHL ;)

:rolleyes: I heard my new headphones, I bought some nice in ear set at the PHL airport so I could stop hearing all the whiners. Someone didn't like that I went to the front of the TSA line, when there were only maybe 6 people in line, then people gripe about the Q200 that pulled up to the gate, it was loud music time then. Oh and when only I boarded initially, later the other passengers in the exit row asked the FA if he was going to ask ME the safety questions...(I had headphones off then, why?)

I was using one of the free headsets I got in F, so this whiner was pretty loud.

White shorts, dinged up leg, grey new-balances. I would agree.

We took that about ten years ago when the service was first introduced and it was a very interesting trip. Do go for it.

One of the things that I also remember from that trip was that on the return it was the only time that I ever failed the upgrades on NW on both segments of one trip (SEA-MSP-LGA).

Adjacent to the ones from DL - I carry multiples in the bag for when the set in use simply stops functioning in one ear.
