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
Our room was clean but there were previous guests clothing under both beds. It was great having a restaurant and bar on site, but the wait times were long. Only one bartender on a Friday night with a full bar. We waited a good 30 minutes to get our drinks.
