Penn's Landing Area

Anyone really familiar with this area? I found a 3.5 star hotel on Hotwire in that area for $109.

Seems like a decent price for that area. I like a bargain but not big on surprises! :)

Thanks for any insight.

That is likely the Sheraton Society Hill, a good hotel in an excellent location. I believe it is the only 3.5* hotel on Hotwire%26#39;s list in the Old City/Penn%26#39;s Landing area.

The only other one I could think it might be is the Hyatt (pretty sure thats a 4* tho) either that or the Sheraton is a good choice!

I booked a 3.5 star hotel in Penn%26#39;s Landing a week or so ago and it turned out to be the Sheraton Society Hill. My price was $93. I would guess yours is the Sheraton as well. We haven%26#39;t stayed there yet so I can%26#39;t tell you what it was like.

Aside from a few small independent B%26amp;Bs near Penn%26#39;s Landing, there are really only 3 brand-name hotels in that area.

Society Hill Sheraton and the Hyatt are nice. There%26#39;s a Comfort Inn at Penn%26#39;s Landing, too, that is definitely not a 3.5 star-- closer to a 2-star. Also, there%26#39;s a Holiday Inn on Arch St that%26#39;s close enough to get lumped in with Penn%26#39;s Landin although technically its in Old City. But HI would be okay, too.

Also, keep in mind that the star listings are not an industry standard. Each hotel chain uses its own ratings for their hotels. So, Marriott brand hotels (Courtyard, Residence Inn) are usually nicer than Choice brand hotels (Comfort Inn, Days Inn, etc.) even though they may all claim to be 3-star hotels.

Hopefully before you paid, Hotwire listed a few hotel names that are examples of its ';3.5 standard';.

btw: I%26#39;ve used Priceline several times and wss never disappointed.

There is also the Omni, but that is probably listed as a 4 star. As mentioned earlier, the 3.5 is likely the Sheraton Society Hill (it has always been so in the past)- an excellent choice. There%26#39;s really nothing bad in the area in any event.
