Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
Great location near Rittenhouse Square and shopping. Easy to get to major sights. Room was a good size with a large TV that you could cast to. Really liked the free coffee and tea and water. You have to take an elevator to the lobby then a separate elevator to the rooms.
