Myself and my girlfriend went to Philadelphia to relax and see the historic sites. The hotel lobby was beautiful and the staff was very friendly, they let us check-in 2 hours early. Our room could not have been cleaner and the tempur-pedic mattress was extremely comfortable. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was the walk to the old city area (i.e. Independence Hall, Liberty Bell) it was over 20 blocks. The walk down Chestnut St. is very nice and we passed a lot of great restaurants and places to have a coffee, which made the walk more enjoyable. We took a taxi once but it was around $10, which to me was a waste of money. We didn't try the two on-site restaurants or The Coffee Bar because the majority of our day was spent in a different part of the city, but they looked nice.
The hotel was beautiful and I also got the room for a great price through an online travel website. The Rittenhouse Square area is very trendy and packed with great little shops and restaurants. If you are going to Philadelphia to see the historic attractions that Philly is know for then this hotel is a little far from that area. If you are looking to shop, go to a trendy bistro, and have a cocktail then this hotel will work for you.
