The location was great.
Allison, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great choice
Hotel was charming and location was really good, walking distance from almost everything (art museums, historical part of town / old town, restaurants, shops) and the room was very spacious. Bathroom could use an improvement, and breakfast could have more variety (more fruits options, other non-carb options).

Comfortable Rittenhouse hotel
My room was very comfortable, quiet, clean. I expected the bathroom to be somewhat small and dated but it was neither. It was clean, spacious, lovely 9 shower with rain shower head. The only negative is a smell that permeates the lobby: not sure what it is nor why it has not been remedied. That’s a small niggle vs the lovely rooms.
