Best place to stay for my money!
My wife and I were in town for the weekend. The hotel was convenient for all the things we were planning to do. The room was spacious and we were blown away by how welcome the staff made us feel. Definitely on the top of my list of places to stay when in Philadelphia!

Stayed here for two nights with my fiancé to attend a friend’s wedding. This hotel is in the best spot for shopping, a few nice dinners and some bars. The restaurant and bar connected to it has AMAZING food. Staff at the front desk were exceptionally helpful, friendly and really made us feel safe and welcome. I would high recommend staying here, and next time we come back this will for sure be our home base.

Location cannot be beat. The staff is great. Rooms are outdated. Carpets are nasty (generally). Bathrooms are small and old with those old round toilets. The entire property smells like kitchen — clearly the restaurant has no proper ventilation. There was no power plug on bedside table to charge your phone — had to unplug the lamp reaching to a dusty area behind nightstand next ro the aforementioned disgusting carpet.

Tiny
Room small, bathroom so small 2 people could NEVER fit. Tiny pedestal sink crammed between toilet and shower. No place to set anything. Very few plugs for charging- none on nightstand. Would not stay at this property again. This room was advertised as a suite?!!!

The room was okay. The shower was more of a pressure washer, it was almost painful. The attached restaurant was good with an incredibly friendly staff.

AKA Rittenhouse Square is clean, well-maintained, extremely hospitable staff, and in a prime location for parks, restaurants, and an easy walk to many historical and famous sites in Philadelphia. Highly recommended. We loved the free welcome drink from the hotel bar/restaurant. My only request would be for vegan options on the food menu. Otherwise a perfect stay! We will definitely be back next time we are in Philadelphia.
