Not Bad

I wish I could more soundproof this hotel. Also, some of female staffs, not male staffs, were distinctly unfriendly towards us. Only good thing I would tell you is that the hotel did renovations and is close to shopping center. If you want to buy small souvenirs, bottle drinks or snacks, visit the gift shop located at the down-next of the hotel.

Reccomend

The hotel is located right on Rittenhouse Square so it is convenient to the Market Street subway and the Broad Street line. Perfect for going to a sporting event. Lot's of restaurants an night time activities all within walking distance. My only suggestion would be to add room safes instead of deposit boxes at the front desk.

One of my favorites

Very comfortable and clean suites, excellent location close to top restaurants, shops, museums. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. Very reasonably priced for for such a great location. Provided many extras in the room and kitchen- even a candy jar:) and a hot breakfast included!
