Comfortable, clean, relatively quiet, lots of space, good kitchen but needs a cutting board. Neighborhood suffers from typical urban ills but very convenient for us visiting relatives in Philadelphia. Staff super welcoming and accommadating. Well run place, would stay there again.

I have stayed at the AKA Rittenhouse many times. It is probably the best location in Philadelphia-- overlooking Rittenhouse Square and right next to the best restaurants and shops in town. The apartments are spacious and comfortable. Like so much of Philadelphia, the building is old but beautiful.

This hotel is in such a good location. We drove in and there is parking across the street. It’s not part of the hotel, so you will pay extra, but it’s very convenient. The front desk was excellent, welcoming. On our last night, we did have trouble with our shower, but it was addressed and remedied immediately by the front desk staff. We were really happy to stay there and will stay there again when we’re back in town.
