I travel regularly on business and often stay at business level 3 to 3 1/2 star hotels such as Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Hilton Garden Inn, Hotel Indigo, etc., but unfortunately found Penn's View to have noticeably lesser quality mattresses and sacky-type pillows which detract from all of the hotel's other really good qualities. I ...

YES!!

Location: An easy walk to the historical sights and plenty of cafes and restaurants. Accomodations: Small yet quaint rooms but the unbelievable breakfast and wine bars make up for it. Access from I-95 is a breeze and the SEPTA station is right there. Personnel were very helpful and accomodating. There will be no searching for another stay next time, this is it.

YOU NEED TO STAY HERE!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/13/06
Penns View is found easily coming from the airport. Located right in the historical district. No car needed now! Hotel very clean,comfortable and quiet. Breakfast (included) was simple but worth it when you are up early and ready to see the sites. Besides you really want to leave room for the local food. We arrived late night and were told by the ...
If you plan on visiting Old City or are looking for a romantic getaway, this is the place to stay! The rooms are beautiful and luxurious with a touch of "home". Definately not your cookie cutter hotel room. Historic Old City, Penn's Landing, South St all within walking distance. Extremely polite and helpful staff. A little on the pricier side but well worth every penny. Looking forward to my next visit!

When I am staying at Penn's View Inn, I feel as though I am at home with the luxury and comfort of a beautiful surrounding, but the location and accommodating staff makes it a true 'getaway.'

so romantic
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/30/05
Winter, spring, summer or fall. This is the place to stay. I live in the city & Penns View is where I go to relax and just get away from HOME... The view of the river is divine. If you dont get that view you are able to have a small patio, that is quiet and private. The rooms are done in victorian style with hottubs and fireplaces. The ...

Gem of a place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/25/05
The Penns View is a small, beautifully decorated hotel. The rooms are small but immaculate. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom well-equipped. We were very near Penns Landing, Headhouse Square, South Street, and Old City. Service was extremely efficient and polite. A very full continental breakfast was included in the reasonable price, ...

A Home Away From Home
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/30/05
Every time we stay here we vow to return and we will. It's perfect in every way. From the breakfast that is spectacular to the homemade gnocchi in the restaurant - to die for. Don't miss this GEM!
