Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff! Positive and so helpful !!"

Aloft by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

8/10 Good

"This was our second time staying at this property and again we enjoyed our stay. Knocked off one star because the bathroom lighting over the sink is totally inadequate, amounting to little more than mood lighting perfect for a Tik-Tok video but little else. Also, we were assigned a room on the first floor which overlooked their outdoor terrace bar. Things were quite noisy until around midnight. We returned a week later for a second stay and requested a higher room, which was much better. The hotel couldn't be better located for exploring Center City. The staff were uniformly pleasant and helpful. On the second stay, we arrived 3 1/2 hours before the 3pm check-in and were immediately given a room, which was super appreciated. We also like the hotel's (and other ALOFT hotels we've stayed in) quirky minimalist-chic aesthetic."
