Travel Note

Budget Hotels

Nice hotels, that don't cose quite as much per night!

Hotel

Pilgrim's Rest Bed and Breakfast

Bed & Breakfast further north and out of the city. Still in a nice area, and close to King of Prussia Mall. Not too far from the wedding events, and you won't have to deal with city traffic as much. Public transport isn't as good out here, so a car is recommended. Est. $110/night as of 10/11

Hotel

Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center

GREAT location in historic Center City with a lot of availability for walking around the city. Pretty easy access to I-76, which will take you right to the wedding spaces. Est. $132/night as of 10/11

Residence Inn by Marriott Philadelphia Center City

GREAT location in Center City, with a pretty good price. Pretty easy access to I-76 for the wedding events. Est. $135/night as of 10/11

Travel Note

Hotel

Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia

4-Star Hotel with GREAT location in Center City. Pretty easy access to I-76 and the wedding events, and probably the cheapest hotel in this location with a lot to offer. Est. $146/night as of 10/11

Hotel

Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel

This hotel has easy access to I-76 (to quickly get to the wedding events in East Falls), but also easy access to Center City and the historical parts of Philadelphia. Pricier, but should be easier traveling than other Center City hotels (if you're taking car and aren't a huge fan of driving in the city). Est. $161/night as of 10/11

Travel Note

AirBnB Vacation Rentals

These are some AirBnB's suggested to rent close to the venue/church that can fit 10+ people to share/save money. Please note that neither of us have stayed in any of these rentals, however chose them based on the neighborhoods and location. You should feel safe and it should be quiet during the entirety of your stay. The commute from church/venue to your rental should not be too difficult either, whether you are traveling by car or public transport (bus).

Please shoot us a message if you have questions! The link attached is SEPTA's official site, which you can also refer to when getting around.
