Fantastic hotel, super clean and friendly. However, for the price of staying, it definitely should have been mentioned that it cost an ungodly $36 per night to park your vehicle. Had then been mentioned in the listing, I most definitely would have stayed somewhere else. It made more sense to me to rent a car, rather than cab around, and this parking fee for two nights was almost like me renting two cars. Also had I known, I would have definitely saved a lot of money cabbing around the city. Also, they ask that you give them 20 minutes to bring up the car via valet, I gave the 20 minute warning upon checkout while I found some coffee, and when I asked for the car, they didn't even know I needed it, regardless of my baggage sitting on a cart right next to them.

The decor of the rooms showed much more thought then all there competitors. This hotel was much more attractive then there competitors rooms, we also had dinner and breakfast there. The meals were reasonably priced and were delicious.

I stayed at this hotel for Easter weekend 2009 and it was phenomenal. The hotel itself is very aesthetically pleasing and well design. I stayed in a junior suite which featured french doors on either side of a spa-like bathroom with granite countertops and separate tub and shower(takes a little while to warm up) and a large bedroom separated by french doors to the living area. Both bedroom and living room featured flat-screen televisions. The bed was astronomically comfortable and the rooms temperature controls were functional and convenient. Definitely stay here if you find a good price (stay here even if you don't). This one is a keeper. Oh! almost forgot! The view was amazing!

Incredible hotel, incredible service and a great neighborhood if you like a central location with great shopping and restaurant. Without a doubt, we'd go back!!!

I didn't expect to be able to check in at 6 AM, and I couldn't; however, the staff were still very accomodating. I had no battery left in my cell or laptop and they let me leave both in a corner of the office to charge for the whole day. The room was your typical excellent Sofitel experience; the feather bed was so luxurious, I tried to sneak it home, but it wouldn't fit in my carry on. If I had one gripe, it is that the cleaning staff are too good. I like to be able to retain my towels and toiletries from one day to the next, as I actually believe the little cards in other hotels that say they're being good for the environment (not just saving money). The cleaners did, however, read the little note I left for them on morning two.

Beds are extremely comfortable, nice bathrooms, big LCD TV. Recently renovated ina first class way. We were surprised by the number of people with dogs staying there. Any/all rooms could have had a dog in it and this will present problems for people with allergies.They should restrict dogs to just certain rooms, like smoking rooms and not put them in any/all rooms.

Excellent service and ambiance.

Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. Lovely hotel, great location, friendly service. Only issue was the luxurious bed coverings were too warm...and with no sheets on the bed only the coverlet you either sweltered or were chilly. I finally ended sleeping with the towel on me. Otherwise everything was wonderful.

Since we have family and friends in the Philadelphia area, we are often down visiting. We love the Sofitel as it is reasonably priced for a luxury hotel, and it has a great location. If you are first-time visitors to Philadelphia, you will find the location to be right in the center of many of the attractions you are likely to want to visit - from Rittenhouse Sq to the fabulous museums to the historic sites. The hotel staff is friendly, and the rooms are nice-sized with luxurious beds and bathrooms. All in all, a great hotel.

We stayed two nights while in town for a wedding. The front desk was very friendly, offering to hold our bags since we arrived a little before checkin time, and were equally courteous when we returned. The room (regular, 1 King) was quite spacious even with the king size bed. It had a small sitting area with a coffee table, as well as a desk on a different wall (and a large flat screen TV). The closest was also spacious and felt like the kind of closet you'd want in your house rather than the typical hotel closet. French doors led to the bathroom that had a reasonably sized (glass) shower stall and separate tub. All in all, an elegant place to stay in a good location. We had dinner around the corner at Alma de Cuba - great ambience and delicious food! We didn't try the restaurant in the hotel, and lacking other options went to Dunkin Donuts for a quick breakfast.

The room itself was large. They charge for internet access. Great room, indifferent service and lousy facilities.

Date of Stay: February, 2009

I don't know about everyone else who reviewed this hotel, but I was travelling on my own dime. I did not appreciate being nickeled and dimed (actually tenned and twentied) for everything. Over 30 a night to park the car and there aren't really any other options nearby. Also we were charged 6.00 a day for the internet. Who charges for the internet anymore? The worst part was they took 300.00 out of my bank account for "sundries" because I had prepaid via travel online. Now I have to wait 7-10 business days for this faceless corporation to give me my money back (minus about 100.00 for parking). When I complained that all these extra fees aren't on the website, the woman behind the desk shrugged and said "thank you for your feedback". Big deal. Also, very loud in the morning. Lots of doors slamming that went on for hours. In this economy, it's really unfair and bad business to treat customers like this.

Date of Stay: April, 2008

We wanted to stay in a comfortable place with outstanding service and a clean bed we could fall into like a cloud. We got both of these things & more. From the valet (courteous!) to bar (delish) to room service (quick): everything was perfect. The bed was a dream--so much so, we ordered the featherbed for home. Can't say enough wonderful things. Will try the Sofitel NYC and will be back to Philadelphia for sure. We're picky--and were pleased with everything. Stay here for a quiet, clean, comfortable, luxurious, & affordable city's night!

Date of Stay: July, 2009

Overall we loved it. The location was great. The staff was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone was so polite... a big plus since it was my husband's first trip to Philadelphia and I wanted him to like it. The Bed's are unbelievably comfortable and honestly more comfortable even than the Westin where we usually stay... even our bed at home didn't feel that good. The location couldn't be better. Less than a mile from everywhere we wanted to go so we could walk pretty much everywhere. And subway stops are close enough to take us everywhere else. The only minor negatives really were not the hotel's fault. 1) Other guests were slamming their doors all night during our last night there (but it was a holiday so I suspect they were inebriated) 2) The bathroom was a little smelly but my husband said it was probably from the drains and just part of the overall sewage system in the city. I would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
The hotel room was extremely smoky andsmelled wise. Staff was overall pleasant. Location was fantastic and rooms smoked of smell.

	Date of Stay: February, 2009
The reason I use online travel website is because of hotels like this one, this hotel is tops in class and would return again. Thanks for the great night.

	Date of Stay: March, 2008
First time at a Sofitel. Stayed two nights. I have no complaints and would definately stay there again.
