"I got the Philly cheese steak which was really good. The cheese whiz added so much flavor which tasted amazing. But the service was okay and we couldn't get refills for our drink, plus the drink was small. I recommend but just bring your own drink."

"Ice Hampton Inn in downtown Philly. Parking / street side unloading was a bit tricky but bell person and front desk were helpful. Rooms and breakfast are typical updated Hampton."
