Good location for US history
The Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Betsy Ross House and much else are all on the doorstep of the Holiday Inn Historic District. Ben Franklin is buried on the same city block. The rooms themselves are spacious, nicely carpeted and clean; free wi-fi. However, it is not the most comfortable environment for a long stay. The under-window a/c units are very noisy - and badly fitted so in cold weather there is an icy draught from around them - and make the place too hot. The wash basins have water-saving spray taps - but the lavatories take several flushes. Beware the suites. They are bigger but the window is round a corner and makes for a dark room. I felt we were camping out and making the best of it, rather than being really comfortable. The public areas, specially the carpets, are tired. The bar is gloomy and uninviting. The reception staff though are really friendly and helpful. They deserve a better hotel. In short, this hotel would be most convenient for doing all the historic sights easily and quickly in Fall or early Spring when the ambient temperature outside is also what you would like it to be in the room.
