The mattress needs to be replaced. I prefer a desk and chair to a bar height table and barstools. The staff was very accommodating and the breakfast buffet excellent, although coffee or tea is an extra $6-8.

We weren’t wowed by the customer service. Most of the staff (except for the gentleman outside who were excellent) didn’t seem like they were very personable nor very welcoming. Just doing their job and looking less than amused. Location was excellent and rooms were very clean!

The rooms were stuffy, the rooms looked old, the bartender in the hotel was rude and very dismissive when he came to me. The experience was not like I expected I paid 450 dollars for a stay and it was definitely not worth it.

It was incredibly easy to get to from the train station. Staff was always friendly and helpful. Rooms were quiet, we slept well (and neither of us are great sleepers to begin with). Decor of bedroom and bathroom was definitively outdated, but clean. Centrally located in Philly, lots of restaurants, and very pedestrian friendly.

We had a nice stay at Sofitel the staff was very accommodating and friendly. The rooms shower could use better water pressure and it is duvet only. Also no answer for room service and coffee is only left out til 10am - other than this we had a very nice stay but likely would not stay again.

Great location, poor customer service.

I recently stayed at the Sofitel for 4 nights. The service was poor in two key respects. First, the car valet situation is unacceptably slow despite costing close to $60 per night. Each time we needed the car it took over half an hour to get it. My other complaint is that at checkout the hotel disclosed a $28 per day “urban experience fee”. The desk clerk at checkout said the fee is a resort fee and comes with a $20/day voucher. I was not told about this fee or voucher when I checked in. Why have a surprise fee at the end to leave a bad impression with customers? Why not just provide an all-in daily cost up front? A surprise addition of $120 was not positive, and made worse by hearing that we in theory could have gotten something for it (though there is no store on the site, so the only place to use the money appears to have been in the restaurant or bar). These two experiences were a real shame because the hotel location is great and the room was comfortable.
