Top Penn Museum Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient to all the site's. Helpful staff. Coffee in the lobby 24/7, that was nice. If ever back in the area I would stay here again."

Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was very convenient garage is connected to hotel."

The Logan Philadelphia, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The service in the breakfast area was somewhat slow. The server was very nice (I don't think the delay was her problem.) The other services were excellent. The pool was an added perk!"

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel room and bathroom were very clean and accommodating. My only suggestion would be to offer complimentary water in each rooms. To pay $8 for one bottle of water in the room is a little pricey and should be included. Thanks"

4211 Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very nice and reasonably priced. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were all great. My only comment is that the location is not really in "university city" but seemed to be more on the fringe."

The Inn at Penn, A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was bright and spotless. The reception staff was professional and very helpful. This is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in our 50 yrs of travel. The valet service couldn’t have been more convenient."

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location."

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the hotel was amazing, including the property, service, locations, and vibe."
