Nice lobby, and the Art Bar was great. Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed for a weekend trip.

Well it started at check in, I was assigned a room who was already preoccupied. Went up the the 19th floor and key card is not working, tried calling the front desk no one is picking up. Finally I was ready to head down the elevator when a cleaning staff saw me and offered to open the door so I can at least drop my suitcases in. That’s when we saw the room was already preoccupied by another guest. Myself and the staff member Went back downstairs to rectify the issue. They assigned me a different room which wasn’t occupied.

I apologize that we made such a serious error at the time of your check-in, and I trust that we quickly rectified the issue. This rarely happens, and I suspect that we mad keys for the wrong room, as opposed to actually checking you in to an occupied room in our system. Your review does not touch on the other aspects of your stay, but I trust that once our initial error was corrected, the remainder of your experience was far better. I hope you will plan to give us a chance to deliver a far better experience the next time you visit Center City Philly!

The location was so close to anything you need restaurants, shops, sightseeing and you could see the city hall from the front entrance of the hotel. The staff was so helpful and friendly. Would definitely go back to this hotel.

Rooms were very clean and well-kept. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It be better if there were two bellmen on duty, not just one.

We're glad you enjoyed your stay with us at Sonesta Philadelphia Downtown Rittenhouse Square, thanks to our friendly, helpful team! We obsess about cleanliness, and we appreciate your observations about the staff's efforts in that regard. I apologize that you experience a delay in waiting for assistance from a bellperson; there are busy times where we staff 2-3 bellpersons. We look forward to hosting you again the next time you return to Center City Philly!

Nice room, clean. Rooms are not sound proof so we could hear EVERYTHING outside. Including the BLASTING music from the bar on the street. To give you an idea, we were on the 22nd floor and could hear all the lyrics.

Kay, thank you for staying with us, and for sharing your feedback. I apologize that the music from a nearby bar disturbed your rest. This was a new experience, as an existing restaurant nearby tried becoming somewhat of a nightclub this past weekend. We've shared our feedback with the business, as well as shown the owner reviews such as yours, proving that our guests were negatively impacted. We don't believe that experience will be repeated. I hope you will plan to give us another chance the next time you visit Philly!
