Entry to the hotel is marvelous - - beautiful bar scene and welcoming front desk. Our first room had a horrible seating arrangement - - small bar height chairs and a very small round table - - no lounge chair or anything like that. IT appeared something (a comfy lounge chair?) had been moved from the room because there was lots of space available for more comfortable seating. WE paid extra to be moved to a suite. NO Netflix available. - only purchased movies. THe hotel is old - - old bathtubs, small showers. Im trying to like it because of the location but Im going to try another spot the next time I am in the city.

Beautiful property but not worth the price tag

Not a super picky traveler and am totally happy at a Homewood Suites or Hyatt Place. Picked Sofitel for a trip to Philly with the family because it’s part of the Chase Edit program and I thought it could be fun. Usually stay at Hotel Monaco and that is where I will return on future trips to Philly. The property is gorgeous and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Breakfast buffet was amazing and one of the best you’ll find at any hotel. But the way I’d describe the service and vibe is as if an AI chatbot were in charge of hospitality. Polite but perfunctory. We were supposed to get a “welcome amenity” and free room upgrade as part of the Edit booking. At checkin was told my room type is not eligible for upgrade (fine, no biggie) and there was no welcome amenity in the room. I called and was told there was supposed to be pretzels and something else I couldn’t understand. It never appeared. The next day I asked about it again and they sent 4 macarons (we are a family of 4 so we got one each) and a flask of room temperature tap water. I mean, that’s pretty weak and no one ever checked in with me again about the stay. In general just not a warm feeling or a sense of true hospitality. Little things like the coffee in the lobby running out in the morning and not being replaced, the valet text message system not working and stating it couldn’t find my car, etc. At checkout I politely noted that the Edit booking was a bit disappointing in some respects and asked if there was anything they could do, and to their credit they comp’ed one of our breakfasts (again, nothing was offered, I had to ask). In summary, my 10-year-old commented it’s a place for grownups traveling alone which was a good assessment.
