Room was very dusty. Especially in the corners and against the walls. Had to call maintenance for an issue with the bathroom sink. It should have been flagged by housekeeping prior, it was an obvious issue. My rate included breakfast, but not sales tax, nor gratuity. This is the only hotel in the world where I have experienced this nonsense. Monday's breakfast buffet was subpar compared to the weekend options, but yet the price stayed the same? Also, no a-la-carte options were available on Monday. Restaurant and room service were understaffed. Had to cancel a room service beverage (only) order after waiting 35 minutes for coffee and juice at 11am Sunday. Overall, food was good quality though, but not worth the price. Front desk staff were very nice, along with the F&B staff. Bed was comfy. Room was quiet. The only other Accor properties I have stayed in were the Sofitel Grand Cartagena and the Banyan Tree Mayakoba. Granted, those are 5 star properties vs a 4 star, but I had expected more from Sofitel.

Awful experience and customer service. Valet took longer than promised for us and other guests and carelessly drove our vehicle to an unknown parking garage (when I asked the front desk where our vehicle is parked the response was “I don’t know”). Valet drove our vehicle at high speed right in front of us and hit the valet sign. No apologies. I tried to talk to a manager but there was not one on duty at the time. Upon checkout, I specifically asked if there were minibar charges because I noticed a bottle missing when we checked in so I took a picture as evidence (and we did not consume any mini bar products during our stay). I was informed there were no minibar charges. I asked to receive the folio and was told it would come via email. The email never came. I called the next day to request the folio, and of course, what did I find? Over $80 in minibar charges. I called Sofitel Rittenhouse Square to have the charges removed and asked how this could have happened since I specifically asked about minibar charges; the response was “I don’t know.” Room service food arrived cold and not to order specifications. We received incorrect items, and then the tray was left at our door for almost all of the next day. If you’re looking for less than mediocre experience and service, this hotel is for you. If not, we suggest another hotel. Next time we will try the Kimpton across the street.

Asking if we want to check-in, being told the room is ready and then saying it’s $50 to access is a very odd user flow. Just feels tacky. If it’s before a time when you’ll be charged, just position it that way. Honestly the worst towels of any hotel I’ve stayed in.
