Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia
Great location if you are going to a game, otherwise not a great place to be unless you like to gamble. The connection to the parking garage and the hotel / casino is a mess.

Great location, no frills hotel. If you’re not looking to spend a lot of time in the room other than sleeping and washing then this is an ideal place. Right in the heart of the city near everything. The location makes this place.
