Not your average Best Western
You can't beat this location - walkable to everything, especially the historic sites. I especially enjoyed walking through the Society Hill District, down Third Street to South Street on a quiet Sunday morning. When we were there, they were running a special so the usual Continental breakfast had the addition of hot food - eggs, sausage, waffles. There's alway fruit in the lobby, wonderful cookies for afternoon tea, and the lobby is an inviting place to sit with its comfortable sofas, fireplace, and game table. The entire staff couldn't have been nicer. We arrived late in the evening and the woman at registration got us cookies from afternoon tea. The breakfast wait staff was so accomodating. All staff seemed to be knowledgeable about the area. The room was very clean and well-kept, a refrigerator, microwave, and easily adjustable heat. Parking is at a garage two half-blocks away - $18 per 24 hours, no in and out. You don't want to drive in Philly anyway -- little convenient parking.
