Great stay!

The hotel is very well run. Our room is well appointed and clean with a very nice view. Antonio, the hotel manager, is not only very professional but super nice and helpful as well. I highly recommend having dinner at Panorama, the Italian restaurant located on the hotel’s first floor. The food and service were excellent and we received a discount for being a guest at the hotel.

Great View!

Our room had a balcony with a fantastic view of the river. The room was very clean. Loved the fireplace heater. It added that special charm to the room. The staff was very helpful and kind. A little dissapointed they did not have a hot breakfast, but the coffee they served in the morning was delicious. Overall amazing stay.

I like this Boutique Hotel instead of the typical chain hotels. Was close to walk to a lot of the historical sites. Staff are friendly. The only negative is that it is beside Interstate 95 which is noisy. My room's window/door faced towards I-95. After the second night I didn't to notice the noise as much.

It’s not every night you stay in a 200 year old hotel, but Penn’s View is just that. It’s housed in a former warehouse right next to Penn’s Landing. The property is within walking distance of many of the old town attractions, including the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. There’s a restaurant on site, but not much else. You’re not going to find a pool or a state of the art fitness center in a 200 year old building. The room I had was comfortable and very clean though it had a view of a parking lot. The bathroom was large and modern with a nice marble shower.
