Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City

10/10 Excellent

"The staff in general were welcoming and professional. The room was large enough and clean enough for my needs. The location was very convenient. During my stay Ms. Monee Drayton was very helpful. I witnessed her kindness,good nature,professionalism first hand. She represented the front desk very well. I look forward to staying at this program again."

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District

8/10 Good

"Staff were welcoming. Rooms are in serious need of an update. Furniture damaged and old. Dry convenient location."

Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful! I had asked for clean towels before going out and not only did I get clean towels but the bed was made and the room straightened up. Also, the hotel is very clean and walkable to restaurants!"

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"A very convenient location, and I found all the staff at this location to be very friendly and helpful. We came in very late to our hotel room and the person at the front desk was so nice to us, gave us a late check out, and even brought our luggage up. I will definitely stay here again when I'm in Philly."

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our sink unfortunately didn’t drain, but otherwise was a nice stay"

The Bellevue Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Bellevue. I stayed in the corner suite on the 12th floor as I was getting married at XIX that Sunday. I have to say when I went to check in on Saturday excited for the weekend to come all for the front desk concierge to say ‘ oh you’re getting married? When? ‘ was a bit surprising / disheartening since I’d assume staff would at least know the first names of who is getting married at the hotel that weekend but I suppose not. I don’t want to point blame so I won’t name names. :) Amir on the other hand went absolutely above and beyond, I can’t thank him enough for the love and warmth he showed us and my entire family & bridal party. The manager Ben was also amazing, helping us load the car, seeming genuinely excited to have us throw our wedding there, etc. The Bellevue is stunning on its own and the renovations for two years ago are truly breathtaking! Our bathroom was less clean than I’d like with visible finger prints covered in foundation swiped across the white en suite door and old makeup product stickers stuck on the sink. It’s the tiny things but overall a beautiful space and I feel thankful we were able to spend one of the best days our lives there!"
