Essington Vacation Packages

I was born and raised in Chester, coming back to the east side I just knew I was in for a lot of noise and typical city hustle and bustle. But to my surprise none of that was heard. The unit was very very clean and well kept from the outside to the inside. The host was amazing, the unit was easily accessible and parking was great as well. Will definitely be booking again.

Really unique hotel in a great area

Top notch. Could not be a better location in all of Philadelphia. The room was spacious and beautiful, everything was well thought out. I enjoyed nice touches, such as *two* folding luggage supports, two umbrellas, etc. I've gotten used to even the luxury hotels having installed "fancy" technology amenities many years ago, only to have them poorly supported now (chromecast that doesn't function, remote controls with dead batteries, wifi that requires multiple logins per stay, complicated light switches that make no sense, dead USB-chargers, inaccessible outlets). The Rittenhouse was on top of all of it and actually kept them all up to date! All the batteries in all the remotes had been replaced. I did not have to move furniture to find an outlet. They do have a sophisticated lighting system, but I thought it worked intuitively. Newspapers in the lobby, fresh cookies in the afternoon, refreshing spa water, all nice touches. I thoroughly enjoyed both the pool and the fitness room. I could not believe that they actually have a Pilates reformer in the fitness room. I've stayed at many high-end hotels and have never seen that.

Good location, clean, comfortable beds
