Top Smith Memorial Arch Hotel Reviews

4211 Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Visited Philly for World Cup. Convenient to good eateries, public transportation and parking. Great Value for the cost. Would stay again."

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"The room and property were very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wish that there was more signage about where things are, like the pool, and when the restaurants close and stop serving food. Not a whole ton of food options nearby, so pack at least a lunch or something. Parking was easy as they have a friendly valet."

The Study at University City

10/10 Excellent

"I didn't use the Bar, or in-room food service. The coffee set up in the lobby each morning was nice and they even had my almond milk! They went above and beyond and brought a coffee machine up to my room for my last night at the hotel--wonderful! I did a do-not-disturb every other day, and when I let them back in, they left my room spotless. My husband was in the hospital and we didn't know when he would be released. The staff, and a flexible clause, worked with me so patiently as I changed go dates twice. They offered suggestions on foods found near the hotel. They briefed me on a laundromat and the hotel's personal laundry one-day service, if you get clothing listed and bagged and to the front desk nlt 7am M-F, you pick up your laundry at 7pm the same day. And I loved the free freshly baked ginger snap cookies offered at the front desk all day, each day. They care. They listen. They effectively respond. Thank you!!!"

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"We stayed during the busy summer season. The city was full of energy with Juneteenth and FIFA events. The hotel staff were very helpful, the free coffee and water machines were great and the location was central. The rooms were a bit small and Rittenhouse Square was about 3 blocks away. There is no pool. The rooms were clean and staff friendly. The hotel is on Chestnut which is a straight shot to Old City Philadelphia and most of the tourist attractions."

Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here while attending a football camp with my son and had a wonderful experience. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location was convenient and made getting to and from our activities stress-free. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay."
