Top hotels in Southwark
Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
"My reservation was guaranteed for 3:00 PM check-in. I arrived at 3:15 PM and my room was not ready. While one of the desk clerks was very apologetic, I had to wait until 3:40 before my room was ready; that is not acceptable. It really is a bare bones hotel where the only amenity is a coffee machine ..."

Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City
"Really needs a little more care for the day to day stuff. First day was good, and I don't need daily servicing, but the small requests we had were mostly ignored and we were given options that were more work or more cost to us. No clean towels to swap? No way."
