I had to leave for the office at 4am before any coffee spots are open, the staff went out of their way to get me into the rooftop coffee room. I received my coffee, danish and water. Amazing staff!

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District
It was a great stay. Pretty central to everywhere I needed to go. Just keep in mind, on the weekends it gets over run by tourists and kids. It's pretty chill the rest of the time. I would definitely stay again!

Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport
Tamika and Christina were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The shuttle was clean, on time, and helped saved a few bucks. There wasn't much of a food selection, but having a Starbucks on-site was wonderful.
