Penn's View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very Accommodating business, took my girlfriend here for her Birthday and we enjoyed our stay 10/10 would recommend to anyone, will be staying again in the future for sure."

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly, a really dope place to stay. They offer $60 garage parking a night (you can come and go as you please)! The bar is open very late and the drinks are STRONG. The staff were very nice and we had new towels almost every night. You can text staff for help at anytime of the night, which is very convenient! Overall a 10/10. Will visit again."

Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time that we’ve stayed at a Hyatt property and this is the second time we’ve been thoroughly impressed by the staff and property. Super friendly and super helpful staff. We love the cleanliness and vibes of the property itself. Valet was waaaaay too expensive though."

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"Overall stay was great. Our second time staying here. Easy check in and check out. We did have a slight mix up with checking out as housekeeping knocked in our door insisting that we should not be there. This was 8am and check out was at 11. Would appreciate hotels.com being more transparent about the $53 valet parking and the $150 deposit. Waiting for the car from the garage was a bit long with only two attendants. But overall the stay was great. Love the bed the room, amenities."
