Top Wister Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Small but clean rooms"

Doubletree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Had an issue with my EXPEDIA reservation that was made at least 8 weeks in advance!! The staff at the hotel were wonderful!! Expedia NEVER alerted the hotel about my reservation, even though I have an e-mail that says so, the staff could not find it anywhere. So they luckily had a room for me , so they accommodated me & charged me the same as my reservation quote. No issue with the staff, my issue is with Expedia..Now I ave to argue about getting a refund from them. The hotel was great, a tad noisy in the AM, but that's to be expected with airline personnel coming & going. I will be staying there again when & if the need be. Clean, great staff, no complaints.."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Philadelphia International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Short stay for me. Booked the hotel after 11pm, got there after 12am. Left at 6am. Only issue was I had no body wash and lotion (bottles were empty) so that was disappointing. May have had to do with the fact that it was a super last minute booking on my part. Other than that it was no problems and I didn’t really need anything, just needed a place to sleep for a few hours. Room was very nice as was the bathroom. Staff was kind and helpful."
