“Excellent service!!!”

Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

The staff was amazing in going out of their way to help me get checked in. Even though the check-in time was 4pm, and I got there hours earlier, they got me into the system and handed me the room key regardless of the time. The room was clean and spacious, with friendly cleaning staff that carried by bags into... More

“Disappointing”

Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

The Sonesta Hotel was a disappointment. Inflated prices for everything from the bland food to the 'high speed' internet, to the mediocre rooms. The doormen seem to enjoy watching you struggle through the doors and their customer service is a joke. Due to the nature of my work I stay in many hotels but i've never felt compelled to write...

“Great location, a thoroughly pleasant stay”

Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW via mobile

We stayed here on the middle leg of our US visit, and as we were staying in small apartments for the other stays, this was to be a welcome break and chance to relax. The hotel is in a great location, around 10 minutes from 30th Street station, and situated on Market street which acts as Philly's 'main street'. Once... More

Dear oceanbeach28, Thank you for your great review! Our seasonal outdoor pool is a great area to relax and take in some sun. With our upcoming renovation we will be replacing all of the TVs in the rooms with new flat screens for our guests to enjoy. We hope to see you again soon! More

“A clean, simple stay”

Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW via mobile

We stayed at the Sonesta because it was the race hotel for the Oddysey Half Marathon, which made the price very reasonable. The hotel is located in a great location; there are countless shops and restaurants all within walking distance, not to mention a few historical attractions. The hotel has the typical feel of an older, elegan city hotel. The... More

Hello Vincent S, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and congratulations on completing the half marathon! We pride ourselves on clean and spotless rooms and enjoy assisting our guests with their requests. We hope to see you again next year for half marathon! More
