Comfortable and friendly hotel

Pros: Great location, great service, good breakfast
Cons: I found the wireless internet quite slow. Fine for emails but struggled with video calls and even some web pages.
Location: Best part of Philly for food and shops. Highly recommend staying around here.
Spent three nights here on a business trip. Didn't spend a huge amount of time in the hotel itself but it served as a great base due to the good location. Beds were really comfy and the service was great.

Gut Gelegen

Das Rittenhouse ist ca. 10 Minuten Fussmarsch von der nächsten U-Bahn Station entfernt. In der Nähe die Einkaufs- und Restaurantstrassen. Sehr ruhig. Freundliches Personal.
