Property was under construction and inconvenient at times to get around the hotel. There isn’t a parking garage on site and we waited 1 hour for our car today. I realize real estate isn’t plentiful downtown Philly but waiting an hour for my car was unacceptable.

February break
My 2-night at the Sofitel was very comfortable and quiet.We were told in advance that the Lobby is undergoing construction, but that did not interfere at all with our staying there. The hotel itself is in a very convenient location, walkable to many restaurants and Rittenhouse Square. It could use an updating throughout, but that shouldn't be a big consideration to staying there. our room was very spacious and clean.

They have a charge on my card which has yet to be released back to me and it’s been over a week. Construction currently happening so couldn’t experience the full hotel but the valet was horrible. Had to wait 45 mins to get my car

This property was tired and rundown. The rooms are in a need of an upgrade. It is the worst Sofitel I have ever been to. It is musty and old and feels like I walked into the 1980s. It’s an embarrassment to the group.
