"Girls trip to Philly was made even more special by staying at this property. Central location, great neighborhood. It was cold so we took Lyft or Uber most of the time, however in warmer, less rainy weather could have easily walked to restaurants and bars. Checking in and out was easy and Kevin was quick to respond to my questions. Would highly recommend this property to my friends and family."

"Gorgeous "antique" style property, stayed with friends and enjoyed the living room and kitchen areas a lot. The bedrooms were very cool with exposed beams and brick. A lot of fun stuff to do in the neighborhood, great cafes and food."

"The hotel is clean and quiet. The three stadiums which are close are walkable. It’s probably a mile walk which isn’t too bad. I would recommend it especially if you are looking to attend a event in one of the nearby stadiums. Also, the hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. "

"Very clean room, comfortable bed, ac/heat, tv, mini refrigerator, and microwave; great for a "historical escape", antique lovers, or a romantic getaway; it is walk-up stairs only, we were on second floor; this is a town house, not a traditional hotel, with no elevators, front desk, room service, and low chance of extending stay for an extra night, due to small number of rooms."

"Had a cancellation with our flight due to weather conditions. And Expedia was giving me a hard time changing the dates to our hotel stay. And the director of the hotel helped me change the dates He spent 30 minutes on the phone with Expedia. I really appreciated that. I recommend that they shampoo the carpets in the halls. Other than that the room was very clean. Staff was nice and Penrose diner is right across the street. "

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

5/5 Excellent
"We loved the old style of the building with the unique decor inside. At first the room seemed small but it actually was perfect! The staff was super accommodating and kind. Our only complaint is that the king size bed we had was obviously 2 mattresses side by side. It was a comfy bed but if you're cuddle-bugs like my man and I, it made it kinda uncomfortable. Otherwise it's in a very convenient location! I also felt very safe and secure there!"
