Hotel Sofitel di Philadelphia

We booked the Notary for a Presidents Day weekend trip to Philly. We primarily booked it for its perfect location in Center City, easily walkable to the Independence Hall area, though walking to the museum areas might be a stretch for some. The hotel is across the street from City Hall, and you can walk around and view some of the outdoor artwork that Philly is known for. The lobby is gorgeous. Check-in on the Bonvoy app was easy, and we used our phones as keys for the room. They are in the process of modernizing their elevators, so it would take some time to get down to the ground floor from our room, between waiting and then stopping on almost every floor on the way down. The room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The window looking out to the city was a little small, but totally understandable considering the building is on the register of historic places. The restaurant could use some work, primarily with staffing. We called down to ask how long a wait for a table would be, and were told no wait. However, when we got to the restaurant, we were told they were only taking diners with reservations, no walkups. Luckily, when we told them of the phone call, they did seat us after a 20-30 minute wait. Our waitress made it very clear that they were understaffed and she was overworked. The food was okay, drinks were better. Breakfast seemed to be staffed more appropriately, and again the food was okay. You're probably better off looking at the many restaurants around Center City (or uber to Dante's & Luigi's like we did on our second night). Valet also seemed understaffed, though they were up front about the expected wait once we called down for our car (20-30 mins). Overall, very nice hotel, could use some help with staffing restaurant. Would stay here again.

Staff is wonderful, super helpful and kind. Very accommodating to our event and all of the attendees! Had wonderful, easy service throughout the whole weekend. The bed sheets had a prior stain. You can tell they were washed but it was an old makeup(?) stain… a little discomforting but everything else was up to par. The elevators seemed to give out fairly easy with constant use. Overall had a great time, will be back!

Excellent stay at the Double Tree Hotel. Just stayed for one night and paid a little more to have a room on the 23rd floor. Had a beautiful view of City Hall. Parking was self park and $38 in the garage next door. However a nice perk is you get parking privileges until 11:59pm on the day of check out. So if you have a few more hours to explore Philly you can just leave your car in the garage. Room was very clean, bright and the staff were friendly. King size bed was comfortable. Overall very satisfied

A pleasant stay in Philadelphia. The hotel is just next to the China Town where you can get some good food.

No complaints. Location, professional staff, great food and clean. What more can you ask for. Frank

Excellent location. Very easy to walk anywhere. A bit of a small room but good for 1 or 2 people. Room is not sound proof at all, heard next door chit chatting late at night.

We went to vist UPEN and it was a 5 min walk to Admissions, so great location. Breakfast was super on the Club floor.

窗外風景好，直接看到富蘭克林大橋，周圍很安全，早餐也算豐富，前台咖啡隨便喝 屋裡沒微波爐，大堂有。離獨立宮，自由鍾，Chinatown都不遠，差不多20分鐘左右步行。衞生大概乾淨，衹是剛入住就逮到倆蟑螂

首先，地理位置優越，處於市中心，在12街，費城市政廳附近，從機場乘坐火車🚆到JEFFERSON站下，走幾步路就到了，酒店對面就是一個百年老市場，各國美食都有，很熱鬧，酒店房間大（家庭房），鍋碗瓢盆/餐具/微波爐/吐司爐/咖啡機/冰箱/洗碗機等等一應俱全，但酒店包含自助早餐，所以這些炊具也沒用上。。。 中國城在9街，步行即可到達，餐飲比較地道。。。 但費城大多數商場19點即關門了，天黑前要回到酒店哦，儘量不要在外逗留！！
