This was a great place for us to stay for a long weekend - since there was a snow storm and one of us got sick during our stay (unrelated to Roost!), it was especially nice to have so much space to spread out, and to have a kitchen. Would definitely come again. (Just a note that there are many steps to get in, so could be a problem for some people who need to avoid stairs).

Thank you, ROOST!!

We LOVED our ROOST Rittenhouse! 10/10, will do it again and again. The staff were absolutely warm and welcoming, the space - ours was a one-bedroom - was really amazing and I almost wished we spent more time in! The location was perfect for hitting all of Phillys most interesting sights and delicious dining spots. Also super convenient to a couple of markets so no need to bring a thing. Rooms were relatively soundproof. The only thing we noticed was that if there were a guest depending on a wheelchair we’re not sure how they would access the building.

Tres Chic!

This hotel was wonderful! Beautifully designed, comfortable, and in a great location. The rooms are huge and like your own little apartment. I appreciated the great toiletries, nice towels, and quality bedding. It even has a washer and dryer! If you want a hotel that offers room service, this is not for you as its more for long term stay. Everything you need to cook meals is provided. It was very chic. The only thing that wasn't the best is the loud heating vent right outside of the master bedroom. Other than that, excited to stay again!

The apartment and the staff are awesome. Outside windows could use a cleaning. The area is slowly coming along in gentrification but is still rough-ish. Rittenhouse Square is very close and it's a great park, notwithstanding the roughness north of it. There was a *expletive* screaming toddler who ran around THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP all day and night. The walls are thin between apartments, so we could hear the wiener kid screaming constantly. Woke us up early and kept us up in the evening. Not the hotel's fault, but be aware. Overall, a very good and relaxed experience.

Property is an excellent option for staying in Rittenhouse Square. It was certainly clean enough and nice enough to make my girls happy. Not a brand new renovation, but outstandingly good for location and space.

Vernon

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
This is a convenient location, but certain things were lacking. These include no onsite parking, no baggage cart, one and a half flights up to the lobby from the street, and no on-site restaurant or snack bar. The lighting is gloomy throughout the hotel, and the 'lounge area's' lights were out and there was no music. The common areas were unwelcoming, in general. On the other hand, the rooms were spacious, the kitchen, in particular, was well-appointed, and all of the room products were premium. Although there was a Chemex coffee brewer, the filters were not Chemex filters and the coffee grounds spilt the filter. Just don't offer a Chemex; a french press will do the trick. There were complimentary coffee beans and a nice grinder, but no discernible way to tell which setting to use to grind to the proper coarseness. There also was a good selection of channels on the easy-to-use television. If you are a business person in town for a week or more and are traveling solo, this is fine. Otherwise, there are too few amenities on site (which I knew). I did not expect such a dark, gloomy, and lifeless common area, however. It felt sad. I understand it might not be their business model to supply these things. However, better lighting and music and vending machine for canned cocktails and chips, for example, would be nice. Wishful thinking: a cocktail bar in the rear of the lobby would change my impression of this place ten-fold. Next time, I will return to a full-service hotel.
