City hotel in good location *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

City hotel in the usual Sofitel standard. Great bed, great bathroom with l'OCCITANE products, it was missing absolutely nothing, only the slippers, the but from housekeeping were brought directly to call. Continental breakfast costs $15, great baguette, pain au chocolat, croissants-french taste. Guest parking in Phily was very expensive-cost as valet parking at the hotel the night $40! Be careful: not in room wireless Internet use, there are ten dollars per day will be charged, in the lobby it are two PCs, the actually were always free.
We have Phily as a base year's eve to new in new York used, with the new Jersey transit train it for 50 $(back and forth per person) in 2.5 h directly in the Big Apple. It runs almost an hourly train, very punctually-Trenton-line. Amtrac double price, half-time.
Can the hotel only recommend-also by bus or car to the outlet king of Prussia, Philadelphia is no comparison against the outlet!
