The Inn is like every other Hilton. It is special because of its location to Penn. it is clean, but we stayed here because our daughter was defending her thesis this Monday. The close up mirror in the room was broken, but luckily I didnt care about how I looked. The inn is no more special than anywhere else.

It had a very comfortable bed, a very nice shower, a lounge type chair for resting, , and even two house robes for lounging. There was a nice fitness center and comfortable rooms in the lobby for...

I have stayed at the Inn at Penn 3 times this year for a total of 5 nights. I must say, the hotel has improved measurably since my last review in October of 2010. The Pluses: 1. Very comfortable beds and pillows. This is most important, after all, what is a hotel for more than sleep. 2. The renovated bathrooms... More

Hotel was ideally located for a visit to the Drexel and Penn campuses. Staff was very helpful with all aspects of the staff. Finding the location for getting valet parking was a little tricky coming from Walnut Street

Was able to order food to my exact specification (time of delivery, condiments, etc.), without any problem. Was able to use iPad to search the area for things to... More

The Inn at Penn is a sophisticated, comfortable hotel, clearly managed to a very high standard. The location - right on Penn's Campus is a little off the beaten path for business travelers - most guests seem to be visiting the school or medical center, but for business travelers it's a refreshing change of scene from the downtown district. It's... More

Everything was top notch. Greeted warmly, terrific rooms, wonderful quiet environment, free wifi and very convenient location for the university visits. Not too far to walk downtown either -- but does require some walking.

Stayed at the Inn at Penn on a recent business trip. It's in the heart of the University quarter, nicely to one side of the main Philly area. It's a 1/2 hour walk into the main shopping area...a nice stroll. The hotel itself is very clean, modern and the rooms were spacious and well equipped with Wifi. Plenty of bars... More
