Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport
You get what you get. We stayed for an early morning flight and we didn’t need anything special, but the room/hallways reeeeked of weed, the staff clearly don’t really care about “customer service” and the hairdryer literally caught on fire when I tried to use it.

This hotel is in a great location in the historical district. However parking was expensive and the room needed a deep cleaning.
