TeddSain Solo travel - TripAdvisor review

the sofitel philadelphia at rittenhouse square transports one from the hustle of philadelphian streets into it’s french-styled flair immediately upon entry into its lobby. the staff from the valet stand to the front desk to the restaurant are helpful, courteous, pleasant and genuine. the complimentary breakfast is extraordinary. seriously. at least the omelette, frites, coffee, orange juice, and fruit bowl that i enjoyed were. the scents in this hotel are fabulous. the lobby, the elevators, as well as the floor that i stayed on always smelled great. the amenities of the room that i stayed in, a king superior, were the cherry on top of an already inviting layout. great soft bed and pillows. nice looking and sounding television. balmain brand body wash, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. the only suggestion for improvement that i have is the housekeeping. it took all day for my room to be cleaned. not sure if the hotel was full or under-staffed. the sitting chair had plenty of popcorn in its crevices upon check-in. the floor underneath the furniture was incredibly dusty and obviously never tended to.

I had a very comfortable stay. Room was spacious and well lit. Breakfasts were good, however portions tended to be too big for one person. Service was excellent until my last morning when there was a different serving crew and I waited 25 minutes for my order to arrive, and I was the first person in the breakfast room. I had to prompt the waiter to check on my order.

Second time I've stayed at Sofitel and it did not disappoint! The receptionist Savaughn that was there made me feel accommodated, she upgraded me to a larger suite without me even asking, and was thorough regarding my amenities, and even texted to check in on me. I appreciated the valet service and how fast and easy it was to receive my car. The guys at the front did a great job at being patient for me to get my belongings and were welcoming. The only slight issue I had was during checkout, as I was provided an urban experience paper and the receptionist during the day made no mention of any breakfast accommodations after I inquired about continental breakfast. She just simply said it wasn't included. I wasn't sure and was left confused, especially because the receptionist at night provided me the paperwork that stated different. Otherwise, it was as always a great experience and I will be returning. Id just suggest for the urban experience package to be more widely known amongst all staff members, to avoid further confusion.

Business stay. Staff efficient and friendly except for front desk employee at time of check-out. Bar staff exceptional, especially John. Crab cake sandwich amazing. Need places to hang towels in bathroom. Water pressure not up to par. Bed comfortable.
