Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay to visit all the historic sites. The rooms were clean and comfortable. "

Sheraton Suites Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Hotels.com tells you parking is $25 per night. But according to staff at the hotel , if you go through the Marriott site there is a less expensive way to book parking, which they would prefer you do. They were not happy we showed up without doing that, but pointed us to spothero, which was less than the $25/night."

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was great and loved checking in right when they were having "happy hour" in the lobby. Good start! BUT, I wish we were told that the gym was closed due to renovations. Was disappointed that nothing was done to compensate us for that (I even asked for a few free weights to use in my room and was told no). Overall good stay minus no gym. "

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and very comfortable. Housekeeping did a terrific job. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. When I mentioned that I was using the microwave on the B to heat water for my tea. The young lady at the desk had an electric kettle sent up to my room."
