great historic area
The room itself was small and certainly NOT worth $366 except for the area in which the hotel was located. We could hear the guest in the one room talking and in the other next door room a woman was crying late at night and we could hear her distinctly. It was like the walls were too thin or something.

Downtown Philadelphia, walk to attractions
All the staff we interacted with were at ease and friendly. We ate out and there were varied establishments within walking distance. Twenty one dollar a day parking within a block of the hotel. Older building but recent remodel with a great bed and adequate amenities.

We'll be back....again!
We've stayed at the Radisson twice now, and we feel very comfortable here. For the value it is worth it. Many things need updating, but the beds are incredibly comfortable, the staff is very friendly, and the location is the amazing! Room service prices are standard, the coffee is so-so, but it is by far the best you can get at that price in Rittenhouse Square! Also, they allow pets, and although I don't have any, I love seeing them in the lobby and elevators.

Philadelphia
The hotel was in an excellent area close to restaurants and sightseeing. We did not use our car while in Philly. We did use the hop on and hop off bus for sightseeing. I would recommend it.

Great hotel value in Philly
I needed a good location in Center City while I came out to find an apartment for an upcoming move. Because the usual places I stay were full, I ended up at the Radisson Plaza-Warwick and never regretted it. Great location - just a couple blocks off Rittenhouse Square. Easy access to subway lines. I didn't use a lot of the facilities, but the gym was well above average, the business center was good for what I needed, and the staff were very helpful. All in all - highly recommended.
