Top hotels in Waterfront South
Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
Clean, comfortable, great location with lots to do in the neighborhood. No frills small rooms but the coffee machine was a perk. It’s hard to find street parking so you may need to pay a garage discount rate of $39. We had a lovely time!

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Parking was very difficult but there was a large criwd so it is understandable. Overall great stay, a tad bit outdated rooms but still very clean.
