Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"I would stay again!"

The Study at University City

10/10 Excellent

"This was a terrific option in the University City area of Philadelphia. Not only was it very central and easy to access but the hotel itself was great. The lobby area was very inviting (the opposite of most lobbies); the room was very clean and comfortable; and the attached restaurant was both convenient and fairly good. The staff were great (accommodated some requests easily). Highly recommend, and if we’re back in the area, we will stay there again."

Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great hotel. Would 10/10 stay again."
