Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia City Avenue

Ease of access from 76 and close proximity to SJU.

Mattress was uncomfortable-sunken in the middle. Our tissue box was empty as was the body wash dispenser in the shower. That may seem trivial, but I would expect the room to be properly stocked when cleaned.

It's great that the whole hotel is smoking-prohibited. But they really need to post that fact in each room. Someone with a room on our hallway was smoking cigarettes day and night, and the smoke stank up the hallway and leaked a bit into our room. I kept calling the desk each time and they said they were sending security. They should have kicked them out after the second time. But in defense of the offenders (at least for the first time they smoked) there really should be a clearer effort made to inform guests of the rule. I didn't know that smoking was prohibited in the whole building until I called the desk to ask if we were on a smoking floor. The last time we stayed there, a guest who was checking out was having a heated argument with the desk staff because he was charged $300 for smoking in his room. If they really don't want people to smoke, they should have visible signs to that effect and firmly nip it in the bud when the rule is ignored.
