Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

2/10 Terrible
"The overall stay was horrible due to an improper working shower. The shower didn’t drain and the water was spraying into bathroom floor. Told the hotel staff three times about the shower and nothing was done. Also asked for towels to place on floor due to wet floor from shower."
