Stayed Aug 31-Sept 2 at the 4 Seasons in Philly. While other travelers do have it correct that the hotel is a little distant from center city (3-4 Blocks at most), it is a very nice property. The front desk was very quick to check us in. We got there at about 2 PM and gave us the room an hour early. The front desk assistant, Jeff, upgraded us to a room overlooking Logan Square and the unbelievable fountain. Philly at night is a tad rough for me. The bums will beg for money, scream at you, etc., (just my take and I'm from NY) The hotel's pool and jacuzzi was a great unwinder from a tourist on foot day. We booked the philly like a local package which was great, especially the 3 PM checkout. It allowed us to do some additional siteseeing and get another dip in the pool. Like other travelers $10.00 on internet is crazy in this day in age. **Tip, if you are a snack hound like me and crave something like chips in the night, go to your local grocery store and stock up on your goodies before you get to the hotel, also soda and water as well. Also, unless your are exhausted, eat meals outside the hotel. Room service is not a shock for a fine property like this and is pricy. There is a nice pub/restaurant called the Public House one block from the hotel, also a TGI Fridays and a starbucks are near as well (all one block). I know you will think it funny, but there is a street vendor who owns a little snack cart who makes dynamite cheese steak sandwiches, ohhh and his coffee is a $1.00 he is right outside the hotel. The area where the hotel is gets pretty quiet at night. It is located near all the museums. Enjoy Philly :)
