Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"Very basic accommodations. Unique property in a great part of the city. Great spot to crash for the night but not to hang out at."

"Great!"

Aloft by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent for doing tourist stuff. The staff was very attentive. The only gripes I have are that the AC in the room didn't seem to work properly. It was always stuffy when we came back to our room. There was no fan in the bathroom, which causes it to be very steamy and humid in the bathroom after showers. Lastly, the elevators took forever. There were only 3 working. Overall, though, it was lovely."

Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Antoinette at reception was very friendly and welcoming. Tonya at breakfast was wonderful"

W Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and fun modern chic decor. Only the poorly designed sink and partially transparent wall between the bathroom and bedroom let down a bit. Overall, a great choice for Philadelphia."
