The area around the Arco was interesting - there was a lot of people loitering around and yelling at all hours of the day. The parking lot across the street costs $38 per day, not $25. The location of extra essentials weren’t clear (2nd floor lounge cabinets). But the location was close to the Subway & right in between big parts of Philly. Our room was pretty clean and decorated nicely.

Booked this location for 1 night as me and my daughter had tickets to see The Weeknd in PA. Upon arrival keycode to enter the facility did not work. They was no one working on site so I had to go back and forth with someone through text for over a hr with no solution. Was forced to have to book a room in another hotel. Please save your money. Not to mention they charge an addition fee of $150 which “drops” when Expedia pays the hotel. Absolutely ridiculous!!

Interior of the hotel is very clean and well-kept. Area could be quite loud at night until around 2-3 AM, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. No staff on site and responses via email were hit-and-miss. During a four night visit, the elevator broke and was down for the rest of the stay and I received an email warning that some units were having AC problems (mine was fine).

The place itself is nice and clean but my room was delayed which was really frustrating considering the price and how tired I was after flying in. Additionally, my key code didn’t work when I got there and it took a while for a support staff to get it to work. I had to wait outside while they activated the code and it was super hot. The hotel app says that your entry code should work hours before check-in but this was not the case. Overall a frustrating experience for me.

Rcvd an email the day before check-in, cancelling our reservation that we had for months because of some HVAC issue at the hotel. No alternative offered. Not even alternative Marriott options. Had to scramble to make arrangements. Frustrating.

Sonder changed my hotel location after I arrived at to the hotel and had paid for parking. They only sent an email that went to junk and did not call to notify me. Apparently it was a maintenance emergency, but I should have been notified earlier and by phone. Long wait time on hold for customer service. Once we finally were able to talk to someone and get to the new hotel the room was nice, but I was already irritated by the whole situation. Unprofessional.

Unable to speak to a human after 5 attempts. Room was 87 degrees w/ temp turned down to 65, outside was 84; bad night's rest. On the bright side, Hannah a concierge? who I fortunately happened to run into, procured a missing remote for my TV & went through the entire programming process. She deserves 5 Stars!
Coldest temp in room! Totally unacceptable, particularly after having eye surgery at Wills Eye Hospital.
