"Unbeatable location for the price"
The location was within walking distance from our office. I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again. This is the second stay.

Nice spacious rooms, great location.
The Sofitel Hotel was an excellent choice for our trip to Philadelphia. The hotel doesn't look like much from the outside, but when you walk in the lobby is modern and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean and nicely decorated. There are many shops and restaurants within a short walking distance. Independence Hall, US Mint, Betsy Ross House only a couple of miles away. The only negative comment is that they charge way too much for parking at $36 per night.

Very nice place to stay
Great location, nice hotel. The bed was very comfortable. I was annoyed that the internet service was not free, and the hotel's restaurant was too expensive for what they gave you.

Softiel Review
The hotel was a very pleasant surprise. Valet took car, check-in was seamless and efficient. The room was very large, decorated with style and comfort, the bed was super comfortable. The entire stay was above any expectations, I would definitely stay there again.

excellent hotel!
This hotel was very convenient to so much. Neighborhood was nice. Short walk to public transportation. Many good restaurants and lots of shopping. Hotel was clean, and nicely european. you really felt a sense of peace when you entered your room. Bathrooms were quite generous with a tub and separate standing shower. room size was large and not cramped. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I would have liked a couple of little things. 1) they would tell you if the bottle of water by your bed if complimentary or will be charged to you. 2) TV guide would be so helpful.

Time-saving tip:
In Hotel
Please take advantage of concierge service. When we wanted to eat at one of the popular restaurants, they were able to call and make us a reservation getting in at an ideal time that I am sure we would not have gotten had we called ourselves. We ate at a place that was standing room only when we arrived and the hotel had called about 30 mins earlier and got us this great reservation. Hotel relationships with restaurants is key and as guests you should take advantage of this service!

Good solid hotel, great location!
Great location, good service, excellent room service, and ah, those beds! Our second time there, we will gladly return. A little impersonal and big. Nice public areas, but corridors and room floors a little dark

Pleasant stay for the second time...
A great weekend getaway - perfect location for shopping, dining, and nightlife. Great service, beautiful rooms, and friendly staff. This was my second stay - no disappointments here (well, maybe they should start offering complimentary internet access/wi-fi).
