Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport
The staff was awesome! Fun to engage in conversation with! Amenities were ok. Gym was severely lacking. One bench and only hand weights with several cardio options. No free breakfast? Come on! Otherwise a pretty decent day

During our stay we enjoyed the entire staff, from the front desk to the cleaning staff. Everyone was so kind and polite. The room was clean and it was nice having a parking garage right next door. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Philadelphia.
