Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
I enjoyed my short stay. The location of the hotel was good and the staff were great as well. The rooms are small but pleasantly appointed. Having Nespresso machines in the rooms was a nice touch.

The Windsor Suites
I will say my stay wasn’t as expected. It was an extremely loud our entire stay and the room was just okay. The pots and pans were in poor condition and the overall aesthetics were outdated.
