The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and very clean. We had a small kitchen and it was nicely equipped. The hotel was secure and staff was friendly and polite. "

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Welcoming lobby with a great espresso machine. Friendly staff. Room was clean and compact, and had everything we needed. There was a window facing the street but our room on the 7th floor was so quiet. Nicely enough, the window could be opened for a bit of fresh air. "

Penn's View Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The restaurant doesn’t open until 5. The room we stayed in was small but nice. There was only scalding hot water in the sink and shower. You can hear everything outside your room. The refrigerator and ac unit made noise all night. There is valet parking but isn’t noticeable so parking in the lot next door is probably a better bet. The parking lot next door however is not attended all night so you can’t get your car out early without making prior arrangements. "

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"The property and room was well appointed. The room was generally clean with need for dusting my only complaint. Although full of guests the staff was attentive when asked. Unfortunately when I checked in and offered my credit card for incidentals, they double billed me for the room and if I hadn’t caught it would have remained. But once disputed immediately resolved!"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Philadelphia - Convention Center, PA

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, affordable price, and convenient Kitchen/Breakfast Home2 is a great location at the center of Philadelphia, next to Phili Convention Center. It has walkable distance to China town and to shopping stores. The parking is next to the hotel (reserved parking online ahead time) . Rooms are clean and also have a convenient kitchen.
