Philadelphia Please Touch Museum Hotels

"Didn’t use amenities was here for a volleyball tournament "

"Unfortunately, my stay here was not the best. I’ve stayed at other Sonesta’s and this property just did not measure up with the others. Let me begin by saying the check in process was smooth and staff were nice. Some things were not in their control — the hotel was flooded with people for the college basketball games. That’s all well and it did not bother me. However, the groups that were there basically took over all the restaurants, lobby, and personal space like they were the only guests. I had to repeatedly ask another guest who was on the phone talking loudly to kindly step away from my personal space twice — any closer he would’ve been on my lap. Along with few others who just had too much to drink. Extremely loud atmosphere. Had I known that the groups would be staying here, I’d pick a different property - my fault for not doing more research on the most popular week of March. Second, because of these large groups, it took several minutes and passed elevators for me to get to my 23rd floor. Everyone trying to jam in and then once I finally got an elevator, there was a stop at almost every floor. Needless to say, we were squished like sardines in the elevator and it took much longer to get up to your room than usual. Once I checked into my room, the floor felt sandy, there was hair in the bathroom sink, and the shelves had a ton of dust. Overall just felt like it had not been cleaned well. Not typical for Sonesta. Very disappointed. "

"Everything was great as usual but the first morning the maid just barged in to our room at 830 in the morning and found us in a state of undress. Was not happy about that. "

"Room was clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely stay again!"

"The surrounding road condition were challenging. The entire experience was average, due to season I didn't get opportunity to utilize the rooftop. "

"Complicated check in . Over 15 bags of trash on the porch that stayed there my entire stay. FILTHY BEDDING . FILTHY CURTAINS. NEVER AGAIN . And there was a room in the building full of teenage kids “hanging out” "

"Very friendly, thoughtful host, clean nicely decorated room. But know that this is not a hotel, it is a room in the owner’s house. It’s located in a residential neighborhood in West Philly with on-street parking, about a 20 minute drive from downtown. A TV and a way to make coffee/tea in the room would have been nice additions."

"Great staff"

"The things that were awesome about this Vrbo rental include awesome water pressure (and ample HOT WATER) in the shower, comfortable beds with extra blankets available if needed, plenty of towels, roomy bedrooms (space for luggage!), and an updated and adequately stocked kitchen. The house is … historical? I loved the wood floors and the interesting architecture of the older home. The host communicated well and often.Two aspects of our experience form the reason for giving only 3 stars when so many things about the house were positive. First is the furniture in the gathering spaces (living room/dining area). There was only one large piece of furniture for seating in the living room. I suppose it could fit 4 bodies if we were all lined up, but it would be weird, and not conducive to conversation. The stools at the dining table were okay for quick meals, but they were essentially the only group seating options, and they were a bit stiff and uncomfortable after any length of time. So, adding more furniture so guests can hang out together comfortably would easily turn this into a 5-star experience!The other issue we encountered was relatively minor, and very likely a one-off kind of thing. We could not get the electronic door lock to work. I believe the host said there was a recent software update or something like that. There was a contingency plan already in place - a lock box on the door containing a house key.I appreciated free parking (it’s residential)."
