Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
We arrived at the hotel at 5 p.m., but our room still wasn't ready for check-in. They offered us a larger room, but only for an additional cost. The rooms and bathrooms are very small. Overall, it was disappointing.

The Bellevue Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
Lovely room and hotel. Housekeeping did not come. Arrived late afternoon and no one was available to help with luggage. Family loved the exercise/spa area. Room was quick for breakfast, food was good but I was not expecting it to come on a cart or tray, not bags

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District
Restaurant needs a major overhaul. Maintenance is poor. Check out your rooms. Electrical outlets in lamps and walls need replacement before a fire starts. Clean dirt out of corners of room. Property’s room rate is too high based on what you provide and the condition of your property.

Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport
Our room was very comfortable, and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. The location was really quiet for being close to the airport. The staff were also speedy in getting a high temperature in the lobby and breakfast area cooled down. “Stuff” happens but the staff were on it!
