Book a hotel near American Swedish Historical Museum, South Philadelphia

"Very nice facility, very nice staff. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for in quality."

"The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful, and I did not catch his name but the guy working the front desk on my morning of arrival was able to get me an early check in which was amazing considering I had been traveling since 3 in the morning. The bed is very comfortable and my only complaint would be I wish the room had a fridge, but overall a 10/10 experience. "

"Stayed a couple nights waiting to catch some concerts in the area. No issues. Shower faucets are a little low-pressure though."

"Staff was very pleasant. I had to extend my stay due to the airline cancellation. Breakfast was really good. Lobby was really clean as well. I was surprised at how soft your towels were. I also bring my own but noticed that they were plush. I’d stay here again if I’m in Philadelphia "

"Great rooms, lots of space!"

"Unfortunately, my stay here was not the best. I’ve stayed at other Sonesta’s and this property just did not measure up with the others. Let me begin by saying the check in process was smooth and staff were nice. Some things were not in their control — the hotel was flooded with people for the college basketball games. That’s all well and it did not bother me. However, the groups that were there basically took over all the restaurants, lobby, and personal space like they were the only guests. I had to repeatedly ask another guest who was on the phone talking loudly to kindly step away from my personal space twice — any closer he would’ve been on my lap. Along with few others who just had too much to drink. Extremely loud atmosphere. Had I known that the groups would be staying here, I’d pick a different property - my fault for not doing more research on the most popular week of March. Second, because of these large groups, it took several minutes and passed elevators for me to get to my 23rd floor. Everyone trying to jam in and then once I finally got an elevator, there was a stop at almost every floor. Needless to say, we were squished like sardines in the elevator and it took much longer to get up to your room than usual. Once I checked into my room, the floor felt sandy, there was hair in the bathroom sink, and the shelves had a ton of dust. Overall just felt like it had not been cleaned well. Not typical for Sonesta. Very disappointed. "
