Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

5/5 Excellent
"I can not emphasize enough how helpful, accommodating, and polite the staff was. The service provided was easily the best I have ever experienced and I never stay in less than 4 star rated hotels/motels. The only thing I wish were different is they do not have any rooms with more than one bed."
