Holiday Inn Express Philadelphia - Penns Landing

Prós: Loved the location. Right Across the street was race street pier and a lovely view of the Ben Franklin Bridge. close proximity to historic downtown and an easy safe walk. Shower itself was clean as well as vanity surfaces and sink.

Contras: My room faced the interstate and did get loud with traffic honking and making louder than usual noises. The bathroom had a unclean appearance with what looked like cleaner buildup in the corners of the bathroom.

Prós: It was easy to drive to, was very easy walk to the historic parts of the city, and was considerably cheaper than other options in walking distance. That overcomes the negatives for us. They also had a free shuttle (up to two miles) which was very convenient when we wanted to go a little further. The staff took care of things and were nice.

Contras: - Our room faced the highway and had highway noise. The car noise became a background drone, but the train whistle was annoying. That said we slept just fine. - The breakfast was acceptable but limited compared to other complimentary breakfasts, and was a bit cramped.

Contras: Had to pay 30 bucks to park my car for the night that should be included with the room I would have rated it higher if it weren't for that
