Top Smith Memorial Arch Hotel Reviews

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great experience, the staff were nice, the rooms were clean and everyone was so helpful."

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"Great price, location and friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again."

The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I love it"

Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Wife and I stayed after a Phillies game and everything was great, as it usually is. Have stayed here a few times and have nothing but great things to say about Sofitel in Philly. Great staff and great location. My only complaint would be how small the valet parking area is but there is not much Sofitel can do about that with such a tight location."

The Study at University City

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean great location"

Patio Paradise Central City 2BR Philly

8/10 Good

"This property is very convenient to concerts at TD at the Mann center. The space was comfortable, and quiet, but it would be a plus if coffee was available for the morning . If you are going to visit the zoo or concert venue, I highly recommend the close proximity. 4 stars ⭐️"

Modern Studio Walk to UPenn Univ &Hosp & Drexel. Ideal for travel professionals

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I loved staying at this VRBO. I surprised him with a trip for the weekend for his birthday and it was perfect for what we needed ! The only thing that was frustrating was the parking situation as there is only 2 hour parking outside of this place and we did end up getting a ticket as we slept in past the two hour mark for Saturday morning, the parking is only 2 hours from 8-6 Mon-Sat, so in the future we would look for different parking that would have to be further away from the actual place. This is completely out of Akia’s control, so no fault to her, just a note I thought I should share for future renters! Thank you for everything Akia! We will definitely consider this property for future stays!"

3-Story Philly Townhouse 2 Mi to University City!

10/10 Excellent

"The inside of the home was amazingly great. I did learn a new word from my son regarding the neighborhood though, gentrification. We arrived after dark and the neighborhood/ Street seemed a little scary. We met Steve, the neighbor, and got to know him over our 3 night stay. His presence probably keeps the street safe. There is a police station across the way as well. We did walk to the university, the grocery, the bagel store and the donut shop and felt safe. Just saying don't judge the place by the first impression as you approach."

Storehouse Lofts

"Excellent! No complaints."
