Top Southwest Philadelphia Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This is my first time staying here and I was pleasantly surprised. The room was nice, clean and cheerful and the property was well taken care of. Rah at the front desk was patient, helpful and friendly. The property is waiting on a liquor license which will be really nice. I walked over to the Embassy Suites for dinner and a glass of wine. I told them I was staying at Sonesta and they gave me two free drink tickets. Did not expect that and made my night. I would definitely stay here again!"

Philadelphia Airport Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at check in were wonderful ... smiling, friendly, and above all, helpful with any of my questions. The room was very neat and clean. Most of all we were ALWAYS thrilled how quiet the room was. In all of our stays, we have never experienced loud talking or noise from other rooms or the hall. By staying with you, we never worry about our drive into the city, especially for a very early flight. We thank you."
