"The stay was good. I would stay here again. Would recommend an additional accent chair or two and shades or blackout blinds. Was uncertain about parking, so we reserved a place in the lot. Reservation process is quite cumbersome. Lots of VRBO emails and codes to keep track of. Check in/out process was a bit confusing. Fortunately the front desk was very patient and helped us out without any issues. Two bottles of water for four people was not enough and no ice."

Top Philadelphia Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good

"Neither tv remotes worked. A facility gentlemen helped to get one tv working but needed two different channel controls to work. A really inconvenience."

Penn's View Hotel Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"Although I didn’t like the room off of the street ,,and preferred a unit inside of the building,,for a late booking it was still a cozy and comfortable stay."

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and great bar"

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"The employees were amazing and so nice. The rooms are a little small but clean. They also have a water bottle filling station on every floor but it’s a little slow. Not bad tho. Nice stay."

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"The Sonesta is located in a great location with easy access to anything in the city. Staff was friendly and check in and out were quick. Beds and pillows are super comfy. My complaints are minor over all. Baths are too small but that’s what you get for a city hotel. I’m accustomed to such small baths in NYC though but not a Philly hotel. Also there was no end table on one side of the bed and no plug for charging a phone on that side of the bed. You gotta have a small table on both sides of a king bed. Still, I’d stay there again if the price were right."
