Notes
we got into Philly at about 6pm. We had to leave without our luggage because it didn't show up. We came immediatly to the hotel which is located closer to the airport. If you like the night life, I would suggest a hotel closer to downtown. There are no Restaurants closer than 6-8 miles from this hotel except at the hotel which the bill came close to $70 for 4 beers, burger, quesidilla, club sandwhich. The food was decent but certainly not for the price. However, not knowing the city, we played it safe and stayed in doors for the night.
The hotel itself was nice because it was a suite that had a separate bedroom from a living room. The staff itself was for the most part responsive but when we arrived after a long flight, it would have been nice to have a nice welcome. Not the nordtrom's type of customer service.
