Stayed here last weekend. The Sporting Club is terrific, almost overwhelming given that I didn't have much time to spare. The location is good for events on Broad Street (e.g., Academy of Music, Kimmel Center, parades). The room was nice enough, but I'd give the edge to the Centric in that regard.

Breakfast is on the 19th floor in Perogla. Despite being on top floor there are no views. I suspect views have been taken by the function rooms at the other side of the building.
My stay included one comp beverage at Pergola, which is new enough that it doesn't exist on Google Maps. (Hint: only the main bank of elevators goes there.) It seemed strange that the window shutters were drawn, but indeed there's pretty much no view from that side due to ongoing construction.
