Top Smith Memorial Arch Hotel Reviews

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

4/10 Poor

"They don’t even have microwaves in the rooms. It was so overly crowded all the time and you have to wait in lines just to check in and check out."

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

4/10 Poor

"Shower was clogged and so filled up that only one of our party even took a shower it was gross. The hair dryer didn’t work and looked like it had been taken from goodwill it was old and filthy the handle was all cruddy- I asked for a new dryer and the nice staff member brought it when we were walking out to check out about 50min later. the front staff were not very friendly rudely talking about others at the front desk also the instructions for the parking garage were confusing and I ended up paying extra for parking. The room next to ours was a storage room and staff were very noisy going in and out of it repeatedly from 11pm- 2am and then again early at 6am! So annoying. The hotel was clean and I appreciated the coffee and water in the lobby but all in all this was not a great stay and I will not use club quarters again."

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

4/10 Poor

"The staff and rooftop bar were great, and everyone I interacted with was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the hotel itself was disappointing. The property felt outdated and in need of significant updates. The biggest issue was finding bugs in the room, which made the stay uncomfortable and raised concerns about cleanliness. While the service and location was great, the condition of the hotel did not meet expectations and would make me hesitant to stay here again."

The Study at University City

6/10 Okay

"I don't remember the guy's name at the bar on Saturday night (23 May 2026), but he was awesome! Drinks made to perfection! As far as the staff, they were very helful during check-in & check-out. The room's were clean but extremely small and tight. There was not enough outlets located in the right places in the room. It reminds me of a dorm or barracks room. Not enouigh storage space on/around the sink. The beds were small and not too comfortable. I would stay again if traveling alone, but not with others in the same room. And parking shouldn't be $59 per night!"
