The hype
Travelers are consistently blown away by the views and cleanliness, but often annoyed by the $30 parking fee and lack of free breakfast.
Hilton Garden Inn Camden Waterfront Philadelphia
$150-250/ notte
Prenota se You want Philly skyline views and concert convenience without the Center City price tag (or parking nightmares).
Perché piace così tanto
- Unbeatable panoramic views of the Philadelphia skyline and Ben Franklin Bridge
- Walking distance to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion and Adventure Aquarium
- Quiet, waterfront location that feels removed from the city noise
In sintesi: It's a clean, modern fortress on the Camden waterfront that offers a great sleep, provided you don't wander too far inland after dark.
Recensito da @figi.rated: I took my son for a staycation right across the bridge and we had a blast. The waterfront views were stunning, the food at Water Street Grill was on point (get the sliders!), and walking to the aquarium made it the perfect family weekend.

- You want a high-quality room for $100 less than a comparable Philly hotel
- You have a car and don't mind driving into the city
