    My husband and I stayed at Penns View for 3 nights and couldn't have been more pleased. The room was CLEAN, nicely decorated, CLEAN, bathroom was CLEAN. Lynn and Adrienne at the desk were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was nicely presented and more than we thought would be available. Food and fruit was fresh. So convenient to buses, the trolley and MANY historic sites. We had a wonderful w/e in Philly at Penns View and would recommend it to anyone also visiting the city of Philadelphia.

    Panorama Restaurant was wonderful. Don't know why I never went there when I lived in Philly. Missed a terrific dining experience. The Inn was very comfortable. Our room was tastefully decorated - nothing luxurious - but it was located very conveniently, near transportation, dining, movies, and within walking distance to center city shopping. It was quiet, even being in center city. We would stay there again.

    Great experience

    It was nice to stay there even though we felt a little expensive. Anyhow we enjoyed it a lot. Only thing we did not like was that there was no parking lot. So we had to pay $20 for one-night stay. But overall it was so great. Very kind room service.
