Spent a wonderful weekend at the Sonesta Philadelphia. Close to everything and great restaurants and shops within walking distance. Recommend pre-purchasing your own parking in the same lot as the hotel uses - costs half the price through Park-it.

Overall I stay for the weekend was good. The number one positive was that they have the best bed I've ever slept in at a hotel. The number one negative is that they have some of the thinnest walls of ever experienced at a hotel.
