8/10 Good

"The area where the hotel is situated did not appear to be welcomming"

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

6/10 Okay

"Beds were good and comfortable. Couch had visible sizable stains. Desk top was dirty. Bathroom baseboards dirty. Lock on bathroom door didn’t work. The main problem was the hotel was very full and half of the elevators didn’t work (2 of 4). Waiting a number of minutes to get to the lobby from the 12th floor resulted in us going up to go down. A couple of elevators stopped to reveal they were full. Was told if we took the stairs, at the bottom when exiting we would set off an alarm. So we went up on an ascending elevator to go down. Location is great. "

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located in an absolutely perfect spot...The Reading Terminal Market is less than a minute away, as is much of Chinatown. The room was clean, and the staff promptly delivered the extra towels and blankets we requested. The big issue for me was the slippery shower/bath floor. No traction at all, which could easily result in a slip and fall. Other than that, a really nice place to stay..."
