Summary of reviews related to the 'Pool' categoryThe Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue offers a pool experience that caters to a range of preferences, though there are areas for improvement. Visitors have described the pool as very nice and ideal, particularly for families with young children. Despite these positives, some guests have noted that the pool water tends to be cold, and its temperature has been found to be in the 60s. Additionally, there have been instances where the pool appeared cloudy and had a particularly strong smell of chlorine. The size of the pool is described as smaller compared to others, yet it still serves as a pleasant feature for guests looking to unwind. However, there have been occasions when the pool was closed, which can be disappointing for those who booked specifically for this amenity. Overall, while the pool is appreciated for its convenience and potential enjoyment, some enhancements in maintenance and temperature could enhance the experience. Show more

Summary of reviews related to the 'Pool' categoryAt The Alloy, a DoubleTree by Hilton - Valley Forge, the seasonal outdoor pool area generally garners mixed reviews from guests, but there's a shared appreciation for its presence. Positive commendations often highlight the pool as great, excellent, well-maintained and pleasant for both adults and kids. Visitors particularly enjoy the well-kept surrounding area and ample parking, as well as the added benefit of the pool being heated despite being outside.
However, there are several consistent critiques. The pool’s small size and depth limitations are notable and there are frequent mentions of maintenance issues such as chipping paint, a dirty floor and floating liner pieces. Some visitors found the pool area closed during their stay, which added to their disappointment. Furthermore, incidents of cleanliness and safety concerns, such as visible peeling and dirty water with leaves and bugs, were reported.
Despite these drawbacks, some guests had a good experience, found the services around the pool excellent and appreciated the opportunity to relax by the poolside. The pool remains a valued amenity for families with children often enjoying their time in the water. Show more
