Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
"This was a great stay! It was close to everything, the room was nice and the staff was too!"
Reviewed on 31 May 2026
Philadelphia Marriott Downtown
"The garage parking cannot be counted on especially if one checks in on the late side. As well, you may not get the room you booked. Overall the hotel functions perfectly well but is more like a better motel in room decor than a hotel. This is likely due to its constant use."
