Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
We arrived at the hotel at 5 p.m., but our room still wasn't ready for check-in. They offered us a larger room, but only for an additional cost. The rooms and bathrooms are very small. Overall, it was disappointing.

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District
Restaurant needs a major overhaul. Maintenance is poor. Check out your rooms. Electrical outlets in lamps and walls need replacement before a fire starts. Clean dirt out of corners of room. Property’s room rate is too high based on what you provide and the condition of your property.

The Bellevue Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
Lovely room and hotel. Housekeeping did not come. Arrived late afternoon and no one was available to help with luggage. Family loved the exercise/spa area. Room was quick for breakfast, food was good but I was not expecting it to come on a cart or tray, not bags
