Top Academy of Natural Sciences Hotel Reviews

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Came as tourist. Best location. Very professional and friendly staff. Toya at front desk was amazing. Room was very clean air and room and quiet. I was on the 20th floor. Breakfast is true breakfast with a good spread of food protein, pastries, fruit and dairy. The mon to Friday wine hour in the early evening is very relaxing after a long day of touring or working. I did not get to see the live music but they have that too. I am very impressed and will recommend this hotel."

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Very impressed by this hotel and wish I had been able to stay longer. The room was clean and tidy - very efficiently laid out. I had a good city view, comfy bed, large tv, and mini fridge. Parking situation isn’t great - they sent me two messages telling me they had a discounted rate at the garage across the street. One said it was $50 and the other said it was $55. There was no discount - the garage attendant specifically said there was no discount. And it was $55. Please don’t lie to your guests. Just say parking is across the street."
