The Windsor Suites
Amazing location, room with balcony and kitchen was such a bonus. The headboard in our room did have some damage but that really is the one con of our stay. Water was hot, gym was nice, and the staff was super helpful, especially mid renovations to the lobby.

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square
Our room was huge and the beds so comfortable. Everything was spotless. The only breakfast option was the coffee shop which wasn't very exciting, best to find a local diner.

We didn't participate in breakfast so I can't comment. Air conditioner worked (was a little loud) Staff: Dynamic Duo at the front desk were fantastic, helpful, kind, and easily approachable give them a raise.
