We decided to go to Philly for the Penn's Landing fireworks and as we knew parking and traffic would be a nightmare, we decided to stay over and at the last minute were able to reserve a room on Priceline at $103. For a holiday weekend with fireworks across the street I thought this was a great price. As we are used to the high prices for parking in Philly, I didn't think the $23 was outrageous since if you are driving you need to park somewhere and none of the lots are cheap for overnight. Also driving in we noted some parking lots were already full. Here we were quaranteed a spot and there was a guard on duty. Positives: The check-in was smooth, staff was friendly, room was clean, wireless worked great, all Restaurants and Penn's Landing activities were a short walk. Negatives: You could hear road noise although it didn't keep us awake, no free fridge or microwave, free breakfast was chaotic - out of coffee, out of cream, extremely crowded, noisy. We skipped breakfast and just left. All in all it was worth it to stay over and not a bad place to stay
