It was great. Wish parking was more convenient, but I also wasn’t expecting to have to drive. Otherwise, all was good!

Great location
Loved the hotel. Lots of character. Nice bathroom and shower, comfortable bed, good size room yet character of historic hotel room. So close to all the old town sights and everything was easy to walk to and see. Only minor issue is parking is not included and the entrance to the adjacent parking lot had an issue with the parking gate so had to go around the block to enter from the other side to park. It really was not a big issue. Did have to walk about 3 steps to get in to the lobby but there might be another way to enter if in wheelchair. Had an elevator once inside.

PHILADELPHIA STAY
A beautiful rehab of an old building/hotel that that is built in the mid 19th century. The building itself is on the NATIONAL ARCHIVES. A nice Italian Restaurant is also located there. Staff was respectful and very helpful. From the 2nd floor or higher, an nice view of the Delaware River. Would stay there again.

Friendliest and most welcoming staff
Antonio and the front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. I have a severe allergy, so I had to call beforehand and they were able to answer all of my questions. After checking out, they let me leave my luggage as I had meetings to attend. I’ll definitely stay at Penn’s View when I’m back in Philly.
