My husband and I snagged tickets to The Police concert at Wachovia and so decided to stay a few nights in Philadelphia as a mini-vacation for the two of us. We have stayed in Philadelphia a number of times at large chain hotels. Penn's View sounded romantic and unique by their website and by reviews. I booked directly on their... more

My husband and I stayed at the Penns View 7/13-7/15 for our 1 year wedding anniversary and the stay was absolutely wonderful. We actually stumbled upon the hotels website by accident while trying to plan a nice inexpensive weekend getaway. I am so glad that we did. We had a premium queen with a view of Penn's Landing and the... more

My wife and I were attending a concert on South Street and stayed for one night at the Penns View Hotel. Since she works right down the street we have been by Penns View hundreds of times on our commute home to South Jersey, and thought that it would be a nice little one night getaway. We originally booked a... more

I stayed here for two nights because of a business trip. It was a GREAT location and great room. I had a queen size bed, which was perfect for one person, and could be ok for two. When you're staying this close to everything in the city, why would you spend a lot of time in the hotel. It was... more

The Penn's View Hotel is located conveniently to Philadelphia's historic district. The Visitor's Center is a mile or less from this hotel as are most of the historic sights that tourists want to see. If you don't need to rent a car, don't. Parking at hotels is very, very expensive. We are lucky and still healthy enough to walk everywhere.... more

The hotel is located by a highway but I really couldn't hear anything until we walked out the door. It is located w/i waliking distant to all of the historical places and... more

HEALTH WARNING - do not stop here if you require relaxation and a sound nights sleep! We stayed here for 2 hell filled nights, the hotel is right next to the freeway which is busy and noisy 24/7. We asked to be moved but were told that there were no quiet rooms. The rooms were dark, dismal and miserable as... more

Our room had charming period furnishings/decor and beautiful hardwood floors. Window and small balcony door opened for fresh air. Queen bed very comfy with nice linens. Bath well equipped, but lighting was sort of week despite a make-up mirror. No hot or cold water issues as previously reviewed. Early check-in wasn't available for our Monday morning arrival, but we did... more

We have just returned from our Spring Break holiday visiting family in Pennsylvannia and spending a few days in Philidelphia. We travelled as a family of four with a 10 month old and a 4 year old. We chose Penn's View based on many of the reviews that we fohund here at Tripadvisor, and you all did not disappoint. It... more
