Top Olde Kensington Hotel Reviews

Doubletree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I read a lot of bad reviews about this place, don’t listen because it was great. The hotel bed was so comfortable. Very clean. The only complaint I have is the pool was really cold."

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"The check-in process was ridiculously long and not enough peoke checking people in but Vern was a standout. She was welcoming and helpful and when I mentioned my hearing impairment, she was so accommodating and helpful and told me, “I got you!” and I knew we would be well taken care of. Very convenient location and clean, lovely room. Breakfast was OK. We had wonderful service Anjail and Pete at the bar. The duckpin bowling was expensive but fun! We would stay here again if in Philly in the future."

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"This hotel is well priced, in a central location, and has all the basics. The cafe staff were very friendly and made delicious lattes. The room was clean and had everything needed for a short stay. Front desk staff were lovely. Is this a 5 star hotel? No. Could it use some cosmetic upgrades? Yes. But overall, absolutely no complaints for the price."
