Upscale convenient location

Pleasantly surprised, staff was amicable & property well kept up. Housekeeping did a great job. Breakfast was less than stellar at typical hotel prices though. One area they could step it up, didn’t notice fresh fruit, presentation etc. but the other attributes mostly outweigh this issue. Still heartedly recommend.

The pillows were awful - as flat as a pancake and woke up with a headache every morning due to zero support. Also, first time ever staying in a hotel where there was no mini fridge to put or store away drinks. The entire fridge was stocked full of "only purchasable" items from the hotel. Made no sense.

The location is great. My room smelled awful and the front desk switched me to another room as soon as I asked. The treadmills in the gym are dated. The Sunday brunch was good and though the service was friendly, when I asked about an item I couldn’t find but should have been there, the waiter shrugged. The beds are comfortable but the sheets are a weird polyester. All this to say, it’s a good hotel, but not a Travel and Leisure Top 50, as they advertise.

Great hotel option close to Rittenhouse Square, and they sometimes have really great discounts. Staff is super friendly and efficient, you get a $20 credit at the bar each day and there's a great happy hour from 4 to 6 pm. Always a pleasure to stay at the Sofitel!
