"A luxurious and cozy B&B in a Philadelphia townhouse, La Reserve has elegant rooms with antiques and beautiful lamps."
Rough Guide
"Lovely rooms, of which the two cheapest share a bathroom. The welcoming owner dishes up a modest-sized gourmet breakfast and dispenses loads of information."
Gayot

"The Hilton hotel sits on the U Penn campus. The modern, comfortable rooms still have a classy old-world vibe. Prices double on weekends that have any U Penn-related event." Full review

"This Hilton hotel is a fail-safe option at the heart of University City. Rooms are comfortable, if unspectacular, and come with iPads. It's a popular choice come graduation time" Full review
