Top hotels in Philadelphia
Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
Very hard bed. Sent us to the wrong room the first time. Staff seemed bothered that I insisted on getting what I paid for. Also didn’t receive the free bottle of wine I was supposed to get. I was hoping Radisson only sucked in the U.S. but I guess it’s universal.

The Commodore Hotel
Ideally placed just a few minutes walk from V&A waterfront. Great hotel, would definitely stay again.
