Top Sweetbriar Hotel Reviews

Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"Perfect location. Lyfts only took about 3 mins to pick you up."

4211 Suites

8/10 Good

"The proximity to downtown was good. The room (s) were great. The place felt safe. I had to park on the street. The window view was two air conditioning units and three walls."

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 5 days and enjoyed the location. It was very central for us. We loved the Happy Hour the best! It was only bread, cheese and wine/beer. The hotel setup was well done. A great way to end a busy day before going out to dinner. Wish they did that through the weekend! There was a mix up on our reservation but the hotel resolved it to our satisfaction. We were on a high floor corner room and the views were spectacular!"

Patio Paradise Central City 2BR Philly

8/10 Good

"It wasn't apparent from the photos, but this unit was partially in the basement of the building, which was great at night, we didn't hear anything coming from outside, but the kitchen and common area had no windows so it's a little dark. There is no Kitchen table or common area with a TV, couch, etc. If you're not planning on cooking for yourself, it's probably fine. Beds were comfortable, and each room had it's own bathroom with a shower. Everything seemed pretty clean. It's bare-bones, but comfortable enough. I was concerned about parking, but had no issues getting a spot at the end of the night."

Modern Studio Walk to UPenn Univ &Hosp & Drexel. Ideal for travel professionals

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I loved staying at this VRBO. I surprised him with a trip for the weekend for his birthday and it was perfect for what we needed ! The only thing that was frustrating was the parking situation as there is only 2 hour parking outside of this place and we did end up getting a ticket as we slept in past the two hour mark for Saturday morning, the parking is only 2 hours from 8-6 Mon-Sat, so in the future we would look for different parking that would have to be further away from the actual place. This is completely out of Akia’s control, so no fault to her, just a note I thought I should share for future renters! Thank you for everything Akia! We will definitely consider this property for future stays!"

Charming 1-bedroom apartment with AC in lively Philadelphia / a beautiful view.

10/10 Excellent

"It’s really a nice place to stay when you have kids! Water Ice next door and the park across the street was perfect!"

BrotherlyLove—Charming 2-bedroom house with WiFi, AC in lovely Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean place made for a pleasant stay! It had enough room and amenities for what we needed. It was in a rough inner city neighborhood but the place was very nice. However we tried using the oven a couple times and it didn’t reach a temp over 200 degrees. The stove was nice and used it with no issues and we were able to cook. The front steps need a hand rail as we had some trouble getting up and down the stairs. But other than that we loved it and was perfect for what we needed with our 2 kids. Parking was a little difficult with it being only street parking but we managed to get a spot not too far away."
