Minute Suites

Best idea ever, every airport needs one of these! Had an 11-​hour layover in the middle of the day, which makes checking into a hotel difficult (3pm check in times), and I just wanted a place to nap and watch some TV — even better that I didn’t have to leave the secured gates area! The suites are clean, convenient, really close to good shops and food options, and made my time at PHL a great experience.

The Minute Suites in PHL is a perfect concept for a flyer needing some z’s or just ‘a moment’ from the masses. I am based in PHL with my career. I use Minute Suites for long ‘naps’ between trips. Would I use this as an overnight hotel? No. The ‘suites’ are small, dimly lit rooms with a desk, free internet, free Netflix, a small mirror, temperature and sound control. There is also hooks for hanging suits or clothing for the upcoming trip or meeting. The ‘bed’ is a small, possibly twin sized, couch with leather/​vinyl. It’s firm! It offers the place to lie down though and to me, that’s the important part. You are given a pillow and blanket and tour of the suite process upon check in; they also offer a wake up service so that you don’t miss your flight! There are also conference rooms inside the Minute Suites for taking meetings. The caveat, and it’s a pretty big one: No restroom and no showers. There is a restroom located across from the Minute Suites entrance and across the concourse. That stinks for anyone who drinks as much water as I do! IF you get where i am going with this! I had to pop across in the middle of my 6 hour rest here in my less-​than-​cute get up for sleep and my very sleepy face to utilize the loo. I found the suite to be quite quiet with white noise sound for effective sleeping and woke up ready to fly across the Atlantic. The staff is friendly and helpful. I love this concept and hope other major airports add Minute Suites… I would love to see bathrooms here at this one, EVEN if it’s shared and down the hall. anything to avoid sleepily having to cross the international concourse! Prices seem to vary and there are some corporate discounts available, with the first hour being the most costly. Is it worth it? To me. yes. :)

It’s a great concept but the price point for a couple of hours doesn’t make much sense. I spent 4 hours catching some Zs for $ 130. On the plus side it was pretty quiet and the staff was fantastic.

I often thought it’d be a lucrative business if someone were to offer facilities in an airport where people could rest, work and sleep in peace and comfort; Especially on those days when one gets stuck at an airport for a layover of several hours.
Along came Minute Suites! This facility basically took one of the storefronts at Philadelphia airport (also Atlanta and Dallas/​Fort Worth) and installed a welcome desk and several private and noise proof «suites», where customers can go and have a nap on the sofa/​pullout bed, watch TV, use the WiFi or built-​in computer and desk to get work done, then receive a wake up call and hot towel to refresh in time to catch their next flight! Genius!
Current rates are $ 41 with tax for an hour, and another $ 10 for each additional 15 minutes. Overnight stays are $ 130 before tax. IMO that’s more than reasonable to catch up on sleep or just get a much needed rest between flights… Certainly a much better value IMO than paying the 1 day, 1 time $ 50 charge to use one of the airlines’ private clubs!

I would pay double if I had to for the respite away from the masses — that’s really what it is. Not a hotel, not a spa — it’s escape from all of the ridiculous people and mad kinetic energy you will find on the daily in an airport. Sometimes you just need some time alone! I love it. Been to the one in Dallas too… please open them everywhere and add bathrooms with beverage service. Yes!

We were caught in bad weather and our connection was 8 hours away. After an exhausting day, Minute Suites sounded perfect. We would have a comfortable, quiet place in the airport to sleep.
The website was very misleading. It was neither quiet nor comfortable. The walls were very thin and we heard every truck, every dog bark and the extremely LOUD front desk. The «day bed» was covered in vinyl and as hard as a rock.
We could’ve saved ourselves $ 140 and had a better, more comfortable night in an airport gate.

Amazing! The best $ i have spent!!! I rested in an airport! Who knew?! Great staff and clean suite!

I highly recommend minute suits for any nursing or pumping moms! I was traveling internationally this summer and had the pleasure of using the minute suites for a free 30 minute session! The staff was amazingly accommodating. Everything was clean!

This place is amazing! As a mother traveling with a baby, I can say that travel is stressful and not the relaxing time it used to be. Minute Suites offers you a quiet and peaceful place to nurse your baby (I forgot I was in a bustling airport) and regroup for thirty minutes. I was given a bottle of water and shown to this clean, cool oasis by a very professional and super friendly girl. The best part is that this service is FREE TO NURSING MOTHERS! Most other airports think they are doing you a favor by sticking a stool by an outlet in a dirty bathroom. I wish this was at more airport locations. A complete godsend.

I was caught at Philadelphia airport with a delayed connection. Minute Suites provided me a free 30 minutes to pump! I cannot express enough gratitude. The room was clean and there was a TV with lots of channels. I will certainly be back at every opportunity to support such a great place. Thank you from all working moms!

I’m sitting in my Minute Suites suite as I write this review. This is such a great service! I’m a frequent business traveler and had a very last minute situation where I needed to be able to conduct an online meeting/​presentation in a quiet environment. My first thought was the United Club, though I don’t have a membership. So I called United, only to learn that the price would have been $ 340 for a couple of hours. For what I needed that price wasn’t worth it in my opinion. I wound up learning about Minute Suites through a friend… I am now enjoying a 5 hour stay for $ 120.00. I’ll spare you the redundancy — the facility is great, the staff is top notch and all of these reviews are spot on. Keep this place in mind in case the need arises!

Pretty cool idea, I wish they had more locations! I never stayed in one of the locations, but I did check it out and recommended it to a friend who was stuck in the airport during a snow storm layover this past January. He was very impressed with the room and what is provided. Unfortunately there isn’t a shower, which would be the only thing to make this a must-​stay for anyone with a layover. If you need somewhere to relax or refresh in between flights at the Philadelphia International Airport, this is a must-​see.

This is a seriously cool idea. I was at PHL with the absolute worst layover situation– I flew from Denver at around 1am and landed at 5. I was stuck at PHL with no sleep and a flight to LGA that didn’t leave until 10. I really needed a nap since I was going to a dinner party later that day so Minute Suites was a godsend.
It’s pretty pricey, I paid about $ 37 for an hour. I was really pleased that I did, the suite was clean and comfortable. Very modern and quiet. I had a great nap and woke up feeling refreshed when the attendant knocked for my wake up call. I would absolutely do this again if I needed a nap and it would be even better for longer layovers since the space comes with internet and a desk. I definitely recommend!

Full disclosure: I did not say in one of the suites. However, I wandered in just wanting to check it out. The manager convinced me to step into one of the suites for a mini tour. I joined him and the friendly staff for a rundown of the many amenities that are included. Free Netflix, free internet, sound control, «wake up» service, and a really comfortable space that includes a desk, keyboard, flat screen tv, and couch to sit/​sleep on.
I have slept in Newark Airport. It sucked. This would have been worth a million bucks as an alternative.

If you’ve been stuck in the Philadelphia airport with a canceled flight — especially overnight, like I was last night — Minute Suites in a Godsend. My 8:45 p.m. flight was delayed for various changing reasons, then at 11 p.m. canceled and we were told to rebook ourselves. I opted for the 7 a.m. flight and being an Orlando resident, had very little options. As I was headed to my morning departure terminal for what I’m sure would’ve been a rough and uncomfortable sleep, I stumbled upon Minute Suites and it was just what I needed.
I opted for 6 hours for $ 97.26 with taxes. The space was clean and safe; staff was very friendly. I was incredibly impressed with the amenities in the (approx.) 7×7 room: Direct TV, WiFi, lots of outlets, blanket, pillow, light dimmer, white noise machine and a dead-​bolt on the door.
There are roughly 20 suites here and they all sold-​out this night. I did hear some of the noise that others mentioned, but it was hardly noticeable past 12:30 a.m. Ask for a spot in the way back (down a hall) to help cancel as much out as possible.
Like another Unilocaler mentioned, there is not a restroom within Minute Suites, so you’ll need to use the airport’s. Not a huge deal, as the women’s is just a few feet away. (Not sure about men’s.) The desk attendant was more than happy to lock-​up my room when I left so that my luggage was secure.
While I *hope* to never have to use this service again, I certainly would if I’m ever found in the same position.

minute suites can be an oasis, especially if you’re as exhausted as I was on the day I had 6 hours to kill at the Philadelphia airport. i desperately needed a 2-​hour nap so I decided to book a 3-​hour stay. I had to call the number and wait about 15 minutes to get someone to book me in. after explaining to the attendant that I needed a quiet place to take a nap, the attendant booked me in the suite at the end of the hall. it was unfortunately next to the tarmac and I could hear the airplane noise outside the entire time even with the noise cancellation system on high. fortunately, I had earplugs. it was a great $ 100.00 nap and the service was ok but not exceptional for the money. no one explained anything to me about the «power nap» fancy features mentioned on the website but when you’re desperate for sleep and able to pay up, this is your place. I was given water and face wipes. the sleeping accommodations we’re comfy but sterile.

Agree with the others: a smart place for a quiet nap if you are stuck in Phili w/​o having to leave the terminal area. Price is $ 36.72 including tax per hour.

Okay, mostly this is just an awesome idea executed correctly. We had a long wait at the Philly airport, and a $ 36 bed for an hour was just what the doctor ordered. The room was clean, and just the right size. — If you are going to sleep, do use the pull-​out bed not the couch.

Got stuck overnight in PHL due to a missed connection. Did a little research and found the Minute Suites. Although they advertised $ 120 for the night (8 hours), their prices just raised to $ 135 (tax included). I opted to stay and overall am glad I did, as I got several hours of much needed sleep.
Likes included the cleanliness, the wifi, the pleasant staff, and the fact that I didn’t have to leave the secured area of the terminal.
Dislikes included noise level. It’s right near the end of the moving sidewalk, so whenever someone stepped off the sidewalk with their rolling bag, it was a bit noisy. I must have gotten used to it, or it didn’t happen often during the wee hours of the night. The lighted Exit sign within the room was a bit bright. Also, it would be nice if there was a restroom/​shower facility within the suites. Had to go across the hall to use the restroom, but they were closed for cleaning, and there are no shower facilities in PHL airport.
Overall, I would stay here again if stuck overnight, but I would bring earplugs, and a sleeping mask.

What a concept! $ 32 p/​hr min + $ 8 for every 15 minutes thereafter. Ideal for a quick nap and/​or meeting. Very convenient. No need to Lear the airport and close to shops and restaurant areas.
This is not a hotel, so no restroom in the room, but it is located across the hall.
Clean, quiet, private and modern. Room for 2 id you don’t mind small spaces.
