Nice hotel, close to Old City

Pros: I enjoyed this hotel because it's close to most museums and sites, within walking distance.
Cons: It would help to provide some earplugs to keep down the noise from the Highway.
I chose to stay at this hotel because it looked quaint. It's close to most of the museums. However, it was too close to the Highway making it difficult to have a good night's sleep.

Older hotel lots of character.

Location: Located right on the riverfront at Penn's Landing with a nice view of Ben Franklin Bridge.
The hotel is old but very well maintained with a lot of character in a great location at the foot of Penn's Landing. The only negatives I can think of is small room size and the parking situation is awful but parking is awful everywhere in Philadelphia.

Great Location at a Lovely Hotel

Pros: Location, size and and boutique atmosphere.
Cons: We were completely satisfied.
Location: Location on the edge of the Old Historic District and we walked to many of the sights and took the Big Bus for other sightseeing.
Hotel and service were great and location was so very convenient to the Old Historic District and walking distance to many Sights, Restaurants and Pubs and shopping. The hotel staff very friendly and accommodating. Very well done room spacious and comfortable. One glitch was taken care of in the nicest way and thanks to Antonio, the Front Desk Manager, he and his staff made sure that our needs were met. I highly recommend this hotel as it is smaller but that made it all the better. A wise choice for us I know that!

Good value - good find

Saw that this place was in Old Town - the historic part of Phillie. That was the initial draw. Penns View is charming. Friendly, informative young woman checked us in around 6PM. Room was clean, neat, and had all the expected necessities. Would advise putting at least 1 mirror in the main room itself, not just in the bathroom. It was tight for my daughter and I to do hair, makeup in such tight space in the bathroom. Complimentary breakfast was a nice treat.

Wonderful little hotel. Walking distance to everything. The room was very comfortable. We did have an issue with one of the front desk staff calling us at 10:15 pm!!!!. He wanted to make sure we paid for our room before we checked out. We had already paid thru travelocity and gave them our credit card when we checked in to cover an extra night per their instructions. The manager said the staff should not have called but just couldn't understand their system. Otherwise the stay was pleasant.
