    We did not pay extra for a park view and so found ourselves looking out onto the different sort of plant you find on the rooftops of city buildings. A bit disappointing. Room was still being made up at 7.45PM when we came back to the hotel on the first day. Ridiculous.

    The twin room we had was spacious and well appointed. Staff provided us a good welcome. Great location on Rittenhouse Square. Very comfortable beds. Quiet room.

    Shower was very small; rug was stained; pull out bed was mediocre; cleaning started great but fell off too quickly; most of the staff were great, but there were some exceptions.

    Our meals were all wonderful from all those on the property. Restaurant staff were a pleasure to deal with. Size of our room was good. One gentleman at the reception desk was wonderful not sure of the name but wears a bow tie.

    Our room was very warm and almost damp feeling. Hair in tub and stain on carpet near the couch. Both were off putting. The air system was just “hidden” by a board on the wall that had about a 2” gap so you could see dust and cobwebs etc. again, disappointing.

    Location was great. Hotel staff were very friendly.

    I was due for a Booking.com upgrade and was informed at check in that the room was an upgrade. Unfortunately since I know the hotel so well, when I saw the room I knew it wasn’t true. I have stayed in far better rooms many, many times in the past. Please don’t think you can fool me, that isn’t a nice thing to do to a long term customer.

    Love this hotel, have stayed there fir over 30 years.

    Drab decor in room. Very noisy air conditioning. Check-in described breakfast as “included”, when there was actually a limit to subsidy.

    Great location overlooking lovely Rittenhouse Square. Friendly staff and good - if expensive - breakfast menu. Very comfortable bed.

    Valet parking has always be the the weak part of the Rittenhouse service over the 10 years that I have been staying at the facility. Waiting 45 minutes for the car--particularly on check-out day- is not good. We understand staffing is an issue nowadays so are more forgiving on this trip. But I have been staying at the Rittenhouse for many years and the same issue existed pre-Covid. There must be a better system for accessing your car when leaving the property.

    Staff at the Scarpetta restaurant were terrible. Ignored us at the bar, we left and went somewhere else.

    Bathroom was nice, bed was comfortable.

    Sincere apology.

    Reception was rude and offensive. I was Instructed to walk to blocks to use the public washroom in Barnes and Noble, while I was waiting to check in. My girlfriends who were white, were given access keys to the hotel lobby washroom without question. I’m Asian.

    Unfortunately we stayed on a Sunday so the hotels restaurants and library bar were closed. We were able to get breakfast the next morning and the atmosphere was lovely as well as the staff.

    Everything from the upscale feel to the exceptional service. We received a welcome basket and 2 complimentary drinks. We travel a lot and I'm quite picky. This hotel does not disappoint! Nice park across the street with a selection of restaurants nearby. Treat yourself if you're traveling to Philly 😊
