The Notary Hotel, Philadelphia, Autograph Collection
4.5/5110 Reviews
Philadelphia City Center
We booked the Notary for a Presidents Day weekend trip to Philly. We primarily booked it for its perfect location in Center City, easily walkable to the Independence Hall area, though walking to the museum areas might be a stretch for some. The hotel is across the street from City Hall, and you can walk around and view some of the outdoor artwork that Philly is known for. The lobby is gorgeous. Check-in on the Bonvoy app was easy, and we used our phones as keys for the room. They are in the process of modernizing their elevators, so it would take some time to get down to the ground floor from our room, between waiting and then stopping on almost every floor on the way down. The room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The window looking out to the city was a little small, but totally understandable considering the building is on the register of historic places. The restaurant could use some work, primarily with staffing. We called down to ask how long a wait for a table would be, and were told no wait. However, when we got to the restaurant, we were told they were only taking diners with reservations, no walkups. Luckily, when we told them of the phone call, they did seat us after a 20-30 minute wait. Our waitress made it very clear that they were understaffed and she was overworked. The food was okay, drinks were better. Breakfast seemed to be staffed more appropriately, and again the food was okay. You're probably better off looking at the many restaurants around Center City (or uber to Dante's & Luigi's like we did on our second night). Valet also seemed understaffed, though they were up front about the expected wait once we called down for our car (20-30 mins). Overall, very nice hotel, could use some help with staffing restaurant. Would stay here again.
DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Center City

The hotel is in the urban area, so traveling is very convenient. You can park in the parking lot at the back door of the hotel. The center of Philadelphia is not big, so it is convenient for exploring the city scenery.
Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

Philadelphia City Center
The location is awesome. Easy to get to and from the major attraction in the city. i was there for the Penn Relays and it was a great, easy scenic 1.5 mile walk to and from each day. Got my exercise while seeing the city from on foot. Best of all on my walks this was how i decided where I would eat breakfast and dinner. So I was able to try something different each day. i was a little tempted to try Ruth Chris but I did not :(. The train ride to and from the airport was quick, easy directions to follow and though not the most scenic ride on the train, seeing the steel and stuff looks industrial America. I likes!! I did try one of the take out Chinese food spots ..oh man.. that was colorful to say the least...Bring Your Own Bag!! What an experience that was.. I guess its a city thing. The room was nice. I got real comfy real fast. The bed was super comfy and the view reminded me of my college days in NY. Just watching cars go by and at night with the lights reflecting off the windows creating various patterns. My only challenge was the TV... can you believe after all that good stuff my issue was the TV!? Just the hardest thing to navigate. maybe its cause I dont watch enough TV. :).
The Warwick Hotel Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

Philadelphia City Center
The location of the hotel is very good, it is very convenient for dining, shopping and sightseeing around. The lobby is decorated with modern design. There are three restaurants on the first floor, each with its own characteristics, all of which are good. The rooms are not small, well equipped, clean and tidy. Overall it feels great value for money!
Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City
4/5110 Reviews
Philadelphia City Center
Checked in late Christmas night. Everyone at the desk area was super nice, and helpful with any of my questions or needs. My room was clean and everything I expect from this brand. I would guess this hotel will going to update their bathrooms soon to the modern showers, but mine was perfectly fine. Can't beat the location. Walking distance to anything you need to see, buy, or eat. The indoor market next door is the highlight, and an absolute must see. I was politely and quickly moved to a different room on my last night, to further myself from a non stop barking dog. Thank you Other than not given the $10 a day Hilton Honors credit which I was told I could use, I had a wonderful stay.
Holiday Inn Express Philadelphia Penn's Landing, an IHG Hotel
4.1/5110 Reviews
Philadelphia City Center
The important thing to note about me is that my #1 priority in a hotel is that its clean and has a bed and a shower. If you are just looking for a place to sleep than this will do. I don't generally need a lot of fuss and in those categories it excelled. The location was also great because we could leave our car parked and walk everywhere. The cost for what it was though was too high as it was just a budget hotel. Also, the refrigerator froze everything ruining my salad and not just a little, it was cold enough that it caused several sodas we had in there to burst. The drain in the tub did not drain. It was not really clear whether there was daily cleaning service or not, I know a lot of places stopped doing this during the pandemic but usually its noted somewhere or they tell you. The first day they didn't come but the second day they did come in and make our beds and leave fresh towels. This was kind of an issue because there were four of us and three towels and nowhere to hang them up. The highway was a little loud but it didn't bother us.
