Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

8/10 Good
"Great stay. Room was nice. Loved the water and coffee area. Staff was great. Location is great as well! Close to a lot of things. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was we had to leave a day early due to an emergency at home. I wasn’t sure if we’d be able to get any money refunded but I asked the front desk at check out and he said if I contacted Expedia and let them know, he was sure we could get something back. But when I contacted Expedia, they said they called the hotel but the hotel said no they couldn’t do anything. Just a little frustrating."
