Top Smith Memorial Arch Hotel Reviews

The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Free upgrade. Great location."

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was not up to the mark."

Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Really convenient location to the convention center. Stayed for a business trip and all of my colleagues also enjoyed their stay, the breakfast and the bed. Very comfortable all around."

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"When we got our first room, it was so noisy. I think this is because of the demographic of people in the hotel. If you’re looking for a quiet and mature guests, this might not be the hotel for you. It can definitely be a party crowd. The walls are also very thin. Overall, the staff was excellent and very accommodating because they allowed us to change our room, which was a little less noisy. I would stay here again, regardless of my review above. It’s conveniently located and the price is reasonable. This isn’t my favorite place but I will see the restaurant on the first floor is excellent."

4211 Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect for our needs."

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great Location"

The Study at University City

8/10 Good

"The view from the premium room was spectacular. We had three big windows looking at the sun setting on interesting skyscrapers in central Philly and it was quite a show. The books were cool too"

Homewood Suites by Hilton University City

10/10 Excellent

"I booked this hotel for the pool and jacuzzi, which were both disgustingly dirty and to mention no towels were in sight to dry ourselves. Our room (708) had no A/C whatsoever and even reached 81 degrees at one point, causing one of the guests to get sick. I assume the thermostat in that room is broken because it didn't cool down at all. I'm also not sure if each room comes equipped with a set of hand soap but there wasn't any to be found and the bathroom probably could have been a little cleaner. The bed was extremely comfortable and I absolutely ADORED Rhonda Hurt, the woman in charge of breakfast because out of every person working there, she was the kindest and most hospitable all while being very busy with the breakfast rush. That woman deserves a raise!!👏 The only reason I would ever come back to this location is because of someone like her!"

Storehouse Lofts

10/10 Excellent

"Super convenient area with a aldis walking distance . Free on site parking was awesome for this city . Parking garage is open to the public and very dark so that was a little sketchy . But the room was awesome"
