Top Smith Memorial Arch Hotel Reviews

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay all around. Only complaint was that the bed cover was as thin as a sheet and difficult to pull over you. Check Spot Hero for the 24 hour garage next door--I only paid $16 to park 24 hours there. There is a 24/7 deli grocery on the corner with tons of great stuff and they will also make you fresh food anytime."

Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia City Avenue

8/10 Good

"The check in process was NOT optimal at 4 pm, which opens the check-in time. There was one person working at checkout, and doing his very best despite issues with your computer system. I think it would be more acceptable during busy times to have >1 person available at the desk. "

Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"I arrived very late. At checked in, the customer service agent noticed my reservation was for the next day. He checked the room rate for that night, it was close to $1K and suggested for me to check online since I still have 10 minutes before midnights. I did managed to get a room at a similar rate to my other booking. I really appreciate this agent’s effort to assist me through this process and also allowed me to have the same room for the next block of reservation which started the following day. The hotel atmosphere is vital and warm. The room is spacious, upgraded and artfully designed. The room and bathroom is very clean and well maintained. I will definitely return to this hotel next time I am in the area/"

Modern Studio Walk to UPenn Univ &Hosp & Drexel. Ideal for travel professionals

10/10 Excellent

"I did love the property and did love the point that it was not that many steps to go up to the unit checking in was super easy and the place was clean and actually the sofa bed was actually bigger than I expected to be the only thing that may throw you off a little bit is the area if you're not used to like the hood environment that's the only thing that might throw you off about this place but besides that everything else is wonderful"
