Penn's View Hotel

50th Anniversary Freedom Tour

Lovely room with extra space to relax. The location was close to all the sights we wanted to see. I would stay there again.

Cons The extra large jetted tub was a plus. Caution the hot water is boiling hot. You will need to test the water before sticking you feet in.

Friendly Staff, walkable location to historic sights

Cons Microwave n fridge in the room

I would recommend the Penn's View Hotel to family and friends.

The location is great. We always knew once we were on Market Street, just follow that to the end. The television was the easiest to use out of any hotel I think we've ever stayed in. There was no figuring out how to get a menu to come up. No scrolling to do. There were many outlets in the room, which made charging devices easy. We didn't use it, but it was nice that we got a complimentary 25% off coupon to use at the restaurant in the hotel. We never had to adjust the temperature once. It was always the right amount of cool. There was no dampness to the room like you often get with chain hotels. The on ramp for 95 south is just a few steps from the hotel, so that was super easy when leaving to come home.

Cons We are early risers and were told that although there is no breakfast served, there would be muffins and coffee in the lobby. The area restaurants don't open until 8:00 am. We left at 6:30 am to head for home. We thought we'd each grab a muffin on the way out to hold us over until we got a little ways down I-95, but there wasn't anything set up yet. I wished we'd grabbed a couple for the room when we saw them the morning before. Our room was clean and comfortable, but I was disappointed that it wasn't the room that was in the picture, that the balcony view wasn't what was in the picture. There was no exposed brick. There was no view of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. We could barely see the river over the Market Street bridge even though it was right there, but we had a good view of the parking lot below. Having been there now, I understand that it's a historic building, so not every room can face the same direction. If I were to stay again, honestly, I would call the hotel and ask specifically for the view of the bridge and an exposed brick wall in the room. I felt a little cheated out of the charm for the money I paid.

Great location. Restaurant next door was delicious.

Location was great. Robert helped us tremendously as our scheduled driver did show up but Robert walking into the building to start his day noticed us still there. He was wonderful.nice

This is a nice hotel with a pleasant ‘old’ feel. Location is quite OK, no noise from the motorway which is close. No breakfast option but very good coffee and cakes. I liked it, it beats the large chain hotels downtown.

Cons Nothing

Beau séjour à Philadelphie

L’emplacement est très bien pour visiter la ville

Cons Le climatiseur faisait un bruit énorme et le lit un peu trop mou.
