8.2/10 Very Good! (1,006 reviews)
You need a business center to print and onsite computers. I was traveling for business from out of town and not to gamble and was staying at your hotel, because of the geography of the company I was visiting. You had very poor breakfast options from a cafeteria, instead of a breakfast buffet, typically offered by a upscale hotel and the bar/ restaurants did not open till 5:00 PM. I was sleeping at 2:00 AM and was awaken by noise, people and announcements from the gaming floor below. Next time in King of Prussia, I will stay Hilton or Marriott

9.6/10 Exceptional! (864 reviews)
We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary at the Rittenhouse and they made it extremely special for us. We felt like royalty staying there in a really spacious room overlooking the park. I enjoyed the soaking tub. It was spacious enough that we felt we could live there. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond to help make our anniversary feel special, which we deeply appreciated. This hotel offers a nice indoor pool as well as fitness center, which we got to use, but if we had had more days we would have used more. I did enjoy a Rolfing massage before leaving this hotel, which was a new experience for me and a great relief. My Massage Therapist 💆‍♀️ was extremely skilled and successful at relieving my pain. The only thing that would keep us from returning to the Rittenhouse is the pungent odors from the park where a lot of people smoke weed openly and other smells coming from the vents underground.
