All rooms are equipped with mini refrigerators, microwaves and (probably most importantly) coffeemakers.

Across from the Philadelphia Convention Center and an easy stroll to Chinatown for steamed buns(!) and dumplings(!).

Nearly 150-year-old boutique hotel has all the charm its age suggests, but recent renovations added plenty of mod cons (free WiFi).

Ideal location just a 1-min stroll from the 33rd St. trolley station, and 6 from Drexel Univ and Univ of Pennsylvania.

Newly opened (2021) in a red brick building with an urban-chic vibe, seasonal flower boxes out front and Bee Kind bath amenities.

School's in session year-round with the A-plus menu at University Grille and passing-with-flying-colors drinks at the Lounge.

Inviting stay with gym and indoor pool, less than 2 miles from the New Jersey Convention Center and a half-hour drive from Rutgers.

Modern home base in the oldest town in Pennsylvania, just 10 mins from the airport.

A hop off the interstate. Genius, we'd say.

Settle in, then head out to the lovely Colonial Park along the Delaware, or hit a Somerset Patriots game at TD Bank Park.
