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 Overall great stay, a tad bit outdated rooms but still very clean.

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District
The room was very clean and everything worked as it should. The elevator about took my arm off as it closed very quickly after opening. Was a great location and felt safe. 12 min walk to convention center.
