Top Penn Museum Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"."

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel room and bathroom were very clean and accommodating. My only suggestion would be to offer complimentary water in each rooms. To pay $8 for one bottle of water in the room is a little pricey and should be included. Thanks"

4211 Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very nice and reasonably priced. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were all great. My only comment is that the location is not really in "university city" but seemed to be more on the fringe."

The Inn at Penn, A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was bright and spotless. The reception staff was professional and very helpful. This is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in our 50 yrs of travel. The valet service couldn’t have been more convenient."

The Study at University City

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location."

The Logan Philadelphia, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I am not used to staying in such fancy hotels, so this was a treat for me. The one thing I would suggest is having more complete (but simple) breakfast options available in the building, especially because there are not a lot of options in town close by."

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the hotel was amazing, including the property, service, locations, and vibe."
