Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Quinton was great, warm, friendly and very sincere in welcoming me to Philadelphia I wish I had him in every hotel I check into. Great location as well"

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia by IHG

6/10 Okay

"A bit of mold in the shower. Toilet has stains. Simple request took a while even though the initial response was “we’ll have it right up.” Housekeeping rest the room but didn’t leave enough washcloths. Room was attractive, you could tell is was remodeled. $8 for water is ridiculous. I don’t care how “sustainable,” it is. Check in and out was seamless. Appreciated the courtesy breakfast voucher. AC worked well. Had to call someone to fix the toilet, both bathroom sink knobs were hot water. Decent for a 4star in a big city I guess."

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and breakfast was reasonable. For the price it was a good place to stay. Location is the best for access to many attractions by foot. Staff was friendly and helpful. Easy walk to train stations! Visitors center staff was extremely helpful. Disappointed to not be able to get in to the Independence Hall tour."
