Top hotels in Southwark
Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
I have stayed at Club Quarters several times before. This visit was not so great. I was in room 307, I was awakened several times with noise that sounded like interior construction. Maybe it was the elevator? But disturbing!

Sheraton Suites Philadelphia Airport
We had a 12 hour layover in Philly and the hotel was great. It was clean, beds were comfortable and the staff was so nice. A huge bonus that there is a 24/7 shuttle to and from the airport.
