Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square
Room was fine - strange no blankets provided. Bathroom needed some service - sink dripped and towel rack partially detached. Food at Cafe was good and reasonably priced but they were out of half of the menu. All staff were extremely cordial. Would stay here again.
