Historical Society-Penns Grove

nice hotel and stayed here prioryears outside can be cleaner but def stay again.

Unfortunately, and it isn't the their fault, this hotel has an army of motorcycles and cars that rev their engines on the road right in front, and they do this from about 10pm until 4am. The police come, they put up barricades, and the bikes just go around them and rev their engines and play really loud music. It is like fast and the furious happening right outside the hotel. We were on the 5th floor and you might as well have been right on the street. No one was able to sleep and we were exhausted trying to see Philadelphia each day. It was a lot of money overall - the hotel plus the parking $25 per day plus how much it is to leave and go into the city, and breakfast isn't included... you end up spending more than if you just stayed downtown for a little more and paid a little more for parking. It is nice that you can walk to the aquarium and battleship, but it would be cheaper to stay downtown and just go there one day. Some examples, for a family of four Boat to the city, $12 each so $48 Subway, $2.50 each, both ways, $20 Car, $6.00 to cross the bridge +20 to park Driving downtown is hard and takes a long time to go just a couple miles... So in all, i can't really recommend staying there to save money, next time i would stay downtown and spend the extra, then you can just take the tourist phlash bus for $12 for the whole family. The motorcycles really ruin it. The staff are wonderful and very friendly and helpful that's for sure. Just can't sleep.

We enjoyed our stay here. The warm cookies which never fail during my business trips were a hit with the family. We needed more towels and were sending our son for mire but the staff said not to worry, they would bring it. My son loved having a king size pull out bed (only one that size during our one week road trip). Loved the bathroom layout and cleanliness. The only thing me and husband struggled with was the size of the double beds were a full size, not queen. Other than that, everything was great!
