Disliked: Amenities
There were extra fees. I arrived early and was offered the room for and extra 30.00, which I accepted. Then I was charged a 29.00 a day 'events fee' which I was told I could get 20.00 of it back -per day- if I spent the money in the hotel. The breakfast buffet was very expensive, tho good, like 40.00, which didn't include coffee. It was hard to keep track of all the fees. I also asked for a list of the hotel's services and was given a QR code. I wanted a list- no go. The room was clean and quiet, the bed, comfortable.

The Sofitel is a very nice hotel in a very nice location. Our stay was very good & staff was friendly. The only issue we had was our reservations somehow got messed up. We booked with breakfast included and at check in we showed our reservations and they said they would correct but at checkout in the final invoice they charged us for breakfast. After a long wait at checkout they did correct the invoice according to our booked reservations. The stay was very good just disappointed to need to correct our reservations at check in and again at checkout.

This is a very well appointed and maintained property. It has been recently remodeled / updated. Every single staff member we interacted with was extremely hospitable, warm, friendly and service-minded. We will definitely stay here again- if you’re looking for a hotel in the Rittenhouse Square area, look no further - stay at Sofitel!

Warm and welcoming hotel.

The staff is amazingly helpful and friendly. Excellent customer service. The lobby/bar are gorgeous. Breakfast was fantastic. Everything was wonderful except for the bathroom. Although the products were lovely, the shower head was terrible and there was barely any water pressure. Also the towels are incredibly rough and uncomfortable.The bathroom definitely does not live up to the feeling of luxury that the rest of the hotel possesses.

I hate that so many properties have the hidden fee that is called a resort fee. It seems like a bit of a scam but Sofitel is not the only hotel that is doing it. One goes on Expedia and gets excited about the deal and then it is a good deal more expensive that one expected. I enjoyed my stay though. Rob
