Loews Philadelphia Hotel
"The hotel room and bathroom were very clean and accommodating. My only suggestion would be to offer complimentary water in each rooms. To pay $8 for one bottle of water in the room is a little pricey and should be included. Thanks"

Only drawback was the free breakfast - ok if all you want is cereal (need larger toaster, better eggs, add a waffle maker). Would definitely stay here ..."
