If you are not concerned with
If you are not concerned with luxury, and you have location and budget in mind, then this is the hotel for you. Just a 5-minute walk to the Philadelphia Art Museum and other attractions, along with free parking and free internet, as well as a on-site bar, make this hotel a no brainer.

So So Hotel
Older Motel on the edge of the city downtown area. Reasonable distance to shopping and recreation, probably a cab. Hotel needs a renovation. While we were there a ceiling leak developed in the hotel corridor. However, the room and the bedding were clean. The breakfast in the dining area was served buffet style. Eggs and bacon were pretty dryed out at 9:00 AM. Overall, my rating is just so-so.

Two-Day Trip
Parking was great. No problem with the check in. Room was relatively clean. The room and hallway carpet needs changing. Just wished the room had a microwave oven and a small refrigerator. Street view from the window. I would certainly visit again. The staff was professional and pleasant. We walked to all the major tourist sites such as the Philadelphia Bourse, the Liberty Bell, etc.
