Beautiful views, close to historical sites. Outside the hotel is a lovely park to the right, with children's play areas. The park is filled with hammocks and some hammocks also line the park/dock area. Its charming. There are food trucks and I've cream trucks along the park as well. Paddle boats at the pier outside in the summer afternoons.
As for the hotel itself, the staff at the front desk was friendly fly and very helpful. I also found the young woman who was working the coffee area to be funny, friendly and so bright and fun even at an early hour.
I highly reccomend chosing this hotel if you want to see historic Philly and get the actual best cheesesteaks (Looking at you Sonny's)
I was raised in North EasternPA and live in Portland now, and this will definitely be my choice the next time I visit.
One suggestion only: Consider having a few pool hours that are 18 and over only? Believe me, the parents want to relax in a pool without they're kiddos now and then too!
