The staff at the front desk were nice, but the valet took forever as it was so backed up. The host at the bar was rude and looked at me funny for wearing a sweatshirt and then the bartender and servers just took 20 minutes to get us drinks after ordering. Waste of time at the lobby bar.

For a hotel rated top in the North East I expected this to be a wonderful stay. First, they didn’t know how to check me in and it took at least 5 attempts to scan my credit card before someone else came over to help. When checking in I asked about the $29 resort credit I was supposed to get through Orbitz and they said it would be automatically added to the room. This never happened, nor did the $20 credit that “the hotel gives everyone” to offset the cost of the city taxes. When I called about being over charged (I even sent screenshots of the booking showing I was to get the resort credit) I was told it would be credited back to my card. I eventually got the $20 refunded that “everyone gets” but they never even acknowledged the orbitz credit despite my confirmation on check in, discussion over the phone and follow up email. Also, Upon arrival in my room the housekeeper just walked right in without knocking or anything. And my fault for not reading the fine print but a “double room” isn’t double queen beds it’s double double beds… my husband barely fit in the bed. Breakfast was good, but way overpriced. $5 for just a plain black coffee is a little much even for Philly. The hotel itself was clean and decorated nicely, but I can not for the life of me understand how this is one of the top rated hotels.

Excellence near Rittenhouse Square
We had a delightful stay here as a family during the winter holidays. The hotel is conveniently located near Rittenhouse Square and all those neighborhood amenities, including the arts and cultural institutions. We visited the Franklin Institute, which is walkable from the hotel. The hotel itself is well-maintained and has excellent service. The rooms are updated and clean, and everything was comfortable. Valet parking was prompt. We would definitely return and recommend.
