Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It’s in a great location that is walkable to many good restaurants and sites. Would love to stay here again!"

Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean but the room I had paid for had a jetted tub, which ended up being unavailable due to mechanical issues. I asked the concierge if I would be reimbursed some of the money for the room because of the inconvenience (I was really excited about the jetted tub) and he gave me complete confidence there would be some sort of discount, he also offered me complimentary access to the Guest Amenity services and a free breakfast which I appreciated. However, he didn't actually give the card needed to obtain complimentary breakfast so in the morning after I spoke to the desk (after embarrassing encounter at the in hotel restaurant) and was given the card, the staff member was unwilling to discuss discount options seeing how they considered the free breakfast and guest amenity services enough compensation. I would've preferred the cash to the perks, and I also requested a toiletry that was never received"

Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"The desk help was very welcoming and helpful! Staff we encountered did their jobs well. Dinner was excellent. Breakfast was priced right with a nice variety of offerings. It is awkward to have the toilet room separate from bathroom (which has no door). Under bed lights were too bright as was an odd clock. It was a miserably hot day, but we had to wait a long time in the parking garage for our car. Overall, we will recommend this Hyatt to our friends."
