“Waterfront Inn Phl Airport's recent renovations lend a fresh feel to its rooms, many offering a surprisingly serene view of the Delaware River, a welcome respite for travelers. The complimentary airport shuttle, though shared, is a practical perk, and the proximity to the airport, coupled with the nearby New Sweden park, makes it a sensible base. It's a straightforward choice where cleanliness and comfort, particularly the well-appointed rooms with modern amenities, align well with the reasonable pricing.”
