The Windsor Suites
Construction slowed down everything. Suite room was very spacious for the kids to move around. Had trouble with the heating/ac unit. Ended turning it off and opening the balcony and windows to make it cooler. Water pressure was poor. Not the cleanest either.

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square
The $20 amenities fee could not be carried over to the next day, so we just paid a fee for nothing.
