Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square
Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square
I booked a room with two queen beds, but was given a room with two double beds - a significant difference. The room was not well-cleaned when we arrived and was missing wash clothes. When the room was serviced the following day, we were not given new towels or coffee.
