Sosuite at The Ovation - Avenue of The Arts
The 2-bedroom suite was very spacious and had all the amenities for a longer stay if we needed it. This includes a fully equipped kitchen, a full-sized range, and a refrigerator. The view from the rooftop was great, and although on a busy street, the room was remarkably quiet.

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown
Our bathroom was a bit worn (sloppy caulk repair and some hard water spots), but it was clean.The fitness center was well equipped. The bar was nice, but the drinks seemed overpriced. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would book here again.
