Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay! Clean, kind staff, but you do have to peak in a public parking garage. "

Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City

8/10 Good

"The rooms are equipped with microwaves, keurig machine, hair dryer, and ironing boards. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were a bit too soft for what I'm use to. My daughters were very disappointed because the site states that there is a pool but they do not have one. We enjoyed the food at the restaurant. Overall it's a nice hotel to stay at."

Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Good variety for Breakfast, most staff friendly and welcoming, been visiting this location for years. However one staff member on this trip ,need serious retraining in customer service, staff are there to serve the customer ,and not for the customers to serve you , if you don’t have guests /customers then you are not needed for the position. Will still book this location again. Great location , easy to get to attractions from here ."

Philadelphia Marriott Old City

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay. The staff is warm and friendly. The decor of the lobby is casual, elegant and trendy. There is a lounge just off the lobby that was a nice retreat to escape read a book or take a business call. The rooms are well appointed, clean and spacious. I had access to the “M-club” room which offered a nice array for breakfast, complimentary snacks and drinks through the day and nice evening offerings. The staff in there were also very friendly and service minded. Check in and check out was quick and seamless For a centrally located, smooth and trouble free experience, I can’t imagine any place any better."
