Philadelphia hotels near Walnut Street Theatre

Cons: Our first room was noisy the shower didn't get hot and the valet was an hour wait to get your car

Cons: The bed was not as comfortable. We usually have a king size bed but opted to 2 queen size and I would prob not do that again.

Cons: I think they should have better pictures of the corner suite on there website, because there suite was better then the pictures shown.

Cons: We should have booked an extra night

Cons: These days every hotel should have free wifi, $12.99 a day is not acceptable when you can go to a budget hotel and get it for free

Cons: TV didn't work well.

Cons: Staff friendly and helpful. Great location for walking

Cons: Smaller elevators but it was doable...we just have 2 kids and a huge stroller ;)

Cons: I receive a monthly check from the VA for a service connected disability -- my ONE night stay cost more than that entire check! And for what? I received no continental breakfast; parking is $50 a NIGHT; and my room with a king-sized bed was tiny. No idea if internet was included, as I was not given a password. I wanted to sit in my room and prepare for a speech I had to give, but, my absurdly expensive room did not come with a chair besides an ergonomically nightmarish desk chair. I had a ton of clothes because I was there for a three day wedding, so my hands were full. I received no bell-service, carried all my stuff to my room, and the keys didn't work; so I had to lug everything back to the front desk. Had to iron shirts for the wedding, the ironing board looked like it was bought from a yard sale. For the cost of this room, I expect quality amenities. Also, the bouncer for the rooftop bar, who looked a like a teenager, watched one of the wedding guests get assaulted, laughed, and did nothing. Honestly, we should've called the police. Posh and ostentatious, with little reward. Go somewhere else.

Cons: No bathtub in room - despite beautiful picture. This is the 3rd or 4th Kimpton Hotel I've stayed in but the least intimate. Hotel was a little busy and staff could be a bit warmer and more helpful.

Cons: Nearly ruin my shirt with a rusty iron.

Cons: Bed was not very comfortable (for me, the BF loved it), the outlets stopped working in the bathroom in the middle of my blow out & could not be fixed, the internet did not work the day we checked in. Also...there is not much follow-through from the staff; we had requested a later check-out that they never acknowledged until we were physically there and brought it up ourselves again during check-in. We asked for a room away from the elevator bank, but were put in one directly next to it. Tried to order room service & the person on the phone said they would have to call back to 'confirm the order' but never called back..the food appeared 20 minutes later, cold. Negatives aren't the end of the world, but there are definitely some things we weren't thrilled with. But the staff, including the valet, were lovely & very friendly.

Cons: A bit pricey.

Cons: • Room was dusty. • Bathroom shower had no door, and so the floor and bathroom door always got wet. • First room was large but was for a disabled person. WHen we changed the room, we were given a comparatively very small room. When we asked if we could get a larger room, we were told that there were none except the rooms for disabled persons.

Cons: Only half of a shower door with no curtain so the shower head sprayed water all over the floor. Alice in Wonderland theme was a little much.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: I left an expensive piece of technology in the room and when I returned a couple hours later, the staff said they didn't find it.

Cons: The views are hit or miss, but such is an unavoidable trade off in almost all urban hotel and bright, colorful, playfully ornate decor go a long way to offset this.

Cons: There were many stains on mattresses, Knicks on walls and doors, bedside glasses were not cleaned/replaced each day, gym was filthy with sweat stains on machines and equipment and floor. This hotel is desperately in need of an upgrade/remodel

Cons: Waiting 30 minutes for my car to be taken out of Valet. Having a Valet tip come right out of my account without my approval. Extremely uncomfortable bedding. No running water due to a shut off, but wasn't told about this until after checking in and essentially not having another option to book another hotel. Phone did not work. Cable remote did not work. Concierge service was unknowledgeable of what the hotel offers.

Cons: Had a prepaid reservation for Sofitel and arrived a day late due to a family emergency. I did not have time to call the previous day and when I arrived the manager said they had cancelled my reservation, charged me for one day and that he 'would help me find another hotel.' Pathetic, at least could have called me before they cancelled my reservation. Never stay at the Philadelphia Sofitel again.

Cons: Te walls are paper thin. You can hear what everyone is doing around you.

Cons: I wish the breakfast was included during the week. Needing to order breakfast in the morning is very time consuming.

Cons: Typically, I feel very comfortable in any room I stay in. However this time, the air conditioner didn't work properly, and the shower didn't drain properly. It did dampen my enjoyment of the hotel.

Cons: Met an old friend in Philly for one evening. We had a great day in the city, a wonderful dinner and retired to the room at eight PM to get reacquainted. At 10:15 we had a hotel staff member knock on our door to tell us we had noise complaints and to keep it down!!! There was also a note under our door say pleas keep it down the walls are very thin!!! Really??? 10:15??? And they want Philly to be known for the city of LOVE but only if you whisper! Disappointed the staff actually came up to tell me that. I will not be staying there again if I am doing anything but sleeping!

Cons: I love the amazing service and delicious food like the squash soup that Sofitel offers in their dining area. I appreciated that when I asked about my boarding pass being printed out Anthony from the front desk immediately went there and did it within 30 seconds for me. The staff, from the maid service to the front desk to the waitresses to the hostess to the Bellman, are all incredibly friendly warm helpful but appropriate.

Cons: Everything was great!

Cons: Nothing. I would easily stay here again if I can find a good rate.

Cons: My room was mainly clean but I felt like certain surfaces needed another wipe.

Cons: The hotel parking was outrageous. The room was warm. It never seemed like the airconditioner turned on. The bed was large and very comfortable but there was no top sheet, only a comforter which got very warm in the night.

Cons: I little pricier than I would have liked.

Cons: Daily parking was over $40/night

Cons: Lots of construction. Our recently renovated room was dingy in the bathroom already. Elevators taped up and walls exposed in the public areas (like hallways).

Cons: I needed a conditioner refill im my shower.

Cons: The room was a tad too small for me.

Cons: High price but worth it.

Cons: Room is describe with "city view", only view is an office building across our room. No full service restaurant in the hotel but walking distance to everything.

Cons: The pool was not very clean (passable) and people had to ask several times for towels. The pool area can be a great place - just add some plants, get rid of ugly fence, put a bar there....

Cons: It was very noisy. Kids screaming and running down the hall all day/night. Not the hotels fault, but did put a damper on the trip. Also, the room service food was awful. Poor quality and flavor.

Cons: Beds were very firm- uncomfortable, but maybe suitable for others. Rooms are small. You can hear all noise- doors shutting in hall, elevators, guest conversations. Online photos made it look much more luxurious than it actually is.

Cons: N/A

Cons: The Art Bar left a lot to be desired. Poor food and service.

Cons: Valet parking short staffed, chaotic, disorganized, long waits, long car line when we arrived. Decor and ambience not my taste. Lobby is not inviting or calm. Room was hot but with a terrible cold draft near window.

Cons: Two things. Our room was between two college kid rooms with multiple tennants. They were polite but busy Other was we went to happy hour and the price was not honored

Cons: Check in process.

Cons: Room are not very sound proof.

Cons: I have no complaints. This place was awesome.

Cons: Rooms not quietly. Could hear all traffic from the street and noise from other rooms and I was on the 9th floor. Would like to see Sonesta to replace those thin windows with something better.

Cons: Expensive, not as many amenities as other hotels up the street

Cons: The wait time at the desk, the cigar smell in the lobby.

Cons: Rooms could use some cosmetic touch ups.

Cons: I did not like how my room seemed like no one even checked it. The light switches coming into the room were not connected to anything, the smoke detector was dangling from its wires. The outlet next to the bed wasn't even connected to the wall so when I went to pull out my charger I pulled out the outlet as well. The heater in the bathroom also looked old, and stained. And the bed sheets had rips in them. The the amount of money that I spent on that one person room, I would have expected that it would have been a little better looked after.

Cons: Room did not get cleaned one day.

Cons: This hotel is unsusuccessfully trying to be a luxury hotel, which it does look like. Looks aren't everything though. The way you're treated by the staff is most important in a luxury hotel. This where the Warwick falls flat on its face. The "doormen" never acknowledged us going in or out. When the bellman showed us to our room, we asked where the ice machine was, instead of filling our ice bucket, he showed us where we could get our own ice--pretty classy guy. Now for the maid service: When we showered the first morning, there ware only two hand towels, one of which we had to use as a bath mat. My husband asked one of the maids on our floor for a couple more hand towels. Her reply was that she had none! We had to call housekeeping to ask for extra hand towels and a bath mat. When our room was done that morning, we got a bath mat, but no hand towels. They also failed to replace our coffe, coffee cups and drinking glasses. We were givien an hour extension for check out, but our maid knocked on our door three times to ask when we were checking out. All three times she knocked on the door were before noon! If Radison wants to run this hotel as a high-end hotel, they need to actually train there entire staff how to serve their guests.

Cons: Desk attendant really slow getting us checked in. One member of our party was given a room that was already occupied.

Cons: Hotel was late getting my room ready. Tried to check in at 3, was told a room would be ready in half an hour. They never called to say it was ready, but when I went back to the desk at 5, they had plenty of rooms. Also, asked about complimentary airport shuttle and was told there was one every 30 minutes. Shuttle was on time, but the driver insisted it was not complimentary, charging me $10 when I got to the airport. Didn't have time to argue, but front desk should have been clear when I asked about a "complimentary" shuttle.

Cons: Some outlets didn't work. Overall though, I loved it here.

Cons: The room was great- had a corner room so lots of light- only issue was there was some questionable stuff on the bathroom door- room definately needed to be cleaned a little more indepth.....

Cons: Our room is pretty comfortable except that the bathroom seems like it’s not heated or there is no insulation on the walls it feels like it’s 10 degree colder than the room itself. Water takes a long time to heat up as well. Also there was a fire that broke out the very first night of our stay. Everyone has to evacuate the room and stay in the lobby then got moved to the ballroom. We were able to go back to our roll in about an hour. Just our luck I suppose.

Cons: This stay (our 4th, but first since it's no longer a radisson) we encountered a MAJOR problem at 4am, and with two young children to be displayed in the middle of the night without our belongings was awful. The night staff and cleaning staff were great but the manager on duty was unbelievably awful, as if we inconvenienced her when her shift started at 8 -- 4 hours after we started dealing with the issue. Instead of commiserating with awful circumstances and asking how we could be helped to be comforble, she mostly left us to or own devices to figure out clothing, food, and basics for two little children who'd been up all night, and had to be pressured to provide basic information about a plan for us to be able to leave. Unreal.

Cons: Housekeeping was a bit lacking, but always very responsive when specific requests were made. Had some issues with late checkout which were resolved by talking with the manager.

Cons: Didnt like the square shallow sink in the bathroom. Looks great but not functional or user friendly at all

Cons: Safety: We checked in with several couples. One couple opened the door to their room after checking in and heard the TV on and saw someone's work boots on the floor by the bathroom. The hotel clerk had given them the keys to someone else's occupied room! The next morning, someone opened the door to my husband's and my room while I was sleeping. I called out my husband's name and the person closed the door. My husband ran out of the bathroom and checked the hall, but no one was there. Thank goodness we had closed the extra security slider so they could only open the door about an inch. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened. After that, we were anxious the whole morning until checkout. Thank goodness our stay was only one night.

Cons: There were some crumbs in my room floor. But other than that he room was great.

Cons: Would have like a bigger fridge, w/ small freezer for ice cream. And maybe 2 water bottles per day instead of just one.

Cons: We arrived at 7 pm and rooms was not cleaned and ready. Had to wait to get a room for 20 min.

Cons: the price was a little high. It was a busy weekend in town so we paid it but normally there are nice hotels in the area that cost less.

Cons: Did not appear to have any operating bar or restaurants.

Cons: The shower took a considerable amount of time to heat up to a comfortable temperature, so just keep that in mind before you jump in and rush through a lukewarm shower. The in-room refrigerator was a nice touch but it actually wasn't set to cool, which we didn't realize until our leftovers spent the night in it. Our room was about 40 feet down the hall from the elevator bank, but we could hear the ding they make when the elevator arrives pretty clearly.

Cons: They didn't have my reservation and they charged me $281 in addition to the $206 I paid to getaroom. I explained that and showed my reservation to the desk clerks when I arrived and when I left and the t have still not removed the extra charge.

Cons: Racist white staff.

Cons: Room walls rather thin, some noise from neighbors could be expected.

Cons: Plumbing in the bathroom was a little slow tot drain....

Cons: The valet misinformed us about the parking. They strongly recommended we pay 50$ for valet parking rather than on the street. The hotel room was not very ideal or modern for the price. The towels and bed sheets smelled as if they had not been changed or washed. The hotel did NOT provide amenities, and the shower products provided were very low quality and would not use them on my body. There are plenty other choices in Philadelphia and would not recommend this La meridian.

Cons: I wish they would offer a breakfast package or include a complementary breakfast offer especially for Marriott elite status members.

Cons: Breakfast was included in our reservation - took almost an hour, we ended up walking out. Gathering our car from valet took a long time as well, we were told "your car is on the way" but could clearly see our keys from the pile....

Cons: Old hair dryers. Scratched mirrors. Dirty Windows.

Cons: The room was not ready when check in, had to wait for 2 more hrs. As a gold member of SPG we were expected to be upgraded, but they just gave us the wrost room type. it’s very small and the window facing a feaking wall, make me feel like the whole room would had no window. Not only this, the pillow has a strong smell and I could not use it at all for the whole night. The front desk Staff was not friendly at all, we are SPG gold member, when asked her if they have our gold number or not, she said yes. But, it turns out they don’t have our gold number key in at all when we checked that later evening after dinner. We started to complain to their manager, been told it’s too late so they could not make any difference to us. That being said, this is not a pleasant stay with La Meridien in Philadelphia.

Cons: Rooms are a bit on the small side. Lighting is very dim in the room.

Cons: Diminutive gym Broken solar shade in room

Cons: I did not like paying for parking, but there is NO FREE PARKING anywhere within City Center. Their parking fees were some of the lowest in the city, and the valet was included. The mini fridge food/drinks were high but, neither of these would stop me from staying here again. Comparing this hotel’s (inevitable) “additional fees” to others.. I would rate them on the lower side.

Cons: It's not a big issue, but they gave me the wrong room type, and overall there wasn't a whole lot of attention to detail.
