Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. The room was big and modern. Bed was fine but the pillows were sub par. The hallways and common areas could have been cleaner but room was nice and clean. The main thing I didn’t like was that you accessed the hotel from an alley that was a bit dark and definitely uninviting. Had to take elevator or stairs to the 1st floor lobby which was nice and lively. Lots of airline staff staying there. Patrick at the front desk was super helpful and went out of his way to be accommodating."

The Bellevue Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"Room service should not be delivered in to go containers and paper cups with plastic utensils at a hotel of this level."
