Everything about our stay was wonderful, from the professionalism and courtesy of the staff, to the comfort and cleanliness of our room. The gentleman at the front desk helped us make reservations at Panorama, the in-house restaurant and wine bar which was outstanding! This was our first stay at the Penns View, and it most definitely will not be our last!

We absolutely loved this hotel! The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The hotel is located in a great location near restaurants, shops and had a nice view of the river and the Ben Franklin Bridge. There are many historical sites nearby and the bus line was just next-door when we didn’t want to walk. We loved our room and the furnishing. We will definitely stay again if we go back to Philly.
