"The house is lovely. Brian was an excellent and attentive host. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was recently remodeled. There were snacks and wine, tea, and water available in the evening. Because the room I was in did not have an en suite bathroom (although the bathroom was private), bathrobes were provided. I understand that most rooms in the house have en suite bathrooms. Limited parallel parking was available on the street at night; daytime parking was limited to 2 hours from 9 am...

"I Love this hotel it was so nice there. Everything was excellent from the room service to the pool. Everything was so clean. The breakfast was amazing. I will go there again and again and again it was one of the best hotels I ever Stay at! It was only for one night for my babe for Father’s Day, but I will definitely be going there again. The only bad thing is they don’t have no free parking."

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

5/5 Excellent
"We loved the old style of the building with the unique decor inside. At first the room seemed small but it actually was perfect! The staff was super accommodating and kind. Our only complaint is that the king size bed we had was obviously 2 mattresses side by side. It was a comfy bed but if you're cuddle-bugs like my man and I, it made it kinda uncomfortable. Otherwise it's in a very convenient location! I also felt very safe and secure there!"
