Top Southwest Philadelphia Hotel Reviews

The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The rooftop pool and location were amazing. The room was also very large which was great for our family with four children."

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Our only complaint was that we had difficulty adding a night to our stay. The women at the front desk around 6:45pm 10/15 told us they couldn’t do it on site because we booked through Hotels.com. When I checked the Hotels.com website, it said I needed to extend the reservation with the hotel. Catch 22. I had to book a new reservation for one night."

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I have stayed at the Moto. The staff is friendly, helpful and available. My room was very clean with sufficient amenities. As we are in the inner city, the morning noise outside is more than I am accustomed in my neighborhood, but it is not overwhelming. Happy hour at the bar was extended to the dinner time for me and the food, Mexican style was great. I would always stay at the Moto when I am downtown Philadelphia."
