"The 243-room Inn at Penn may be a Hilton, but it feels far more like a boutique hotel than a chain." Full review
Gayot "Rather than offering a stiff, formal, hotel-away-from home experience, this property offers the kind of atmosphere you'd expect to find when staying with friends."
Zagat3.7
"With a "men's club feel" and iPads provided for guests' use, there's a "perfect blend of old-school university hotel and modern amenities" at this "comfortable" inn at Penn."
Fodor's "Near the University of Pennsylvania, this hotel is a welcome sight for anyone needing to stay in University City." Full review
Afar Magazine "The 243 guestrooms and suites are classy, efficient, and relatively spacious, though it’s worth upgrading to a suite for a separate sitting area." Full review
National Geographic "Hilton property with art deco styling on the University of Pennsylvania campus, 238 rooms feature luxuriant bedding, plush robes, and in-room virtual office; wine bar and 24-hour fitness center." Full review
Lonely Planet "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
Lonely Planet "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
