Hotel recommendations for Summer ANA show in Philadelphia?

GoldenEyeNumismatics

Will have a few days there. Anyone have any hotel recommendations?

There are plenty of nearby options and more that are a bus or subway ride away but everything is very expensive. Expect to pay at least $200/ night.

Better make your reservations early. Of the two main hotels, the Downtown Marriott is sold out and the downtown Courtyard is going fast (if not already sold out).

The Hampton Inn, it is behind the convention center on Race St.

Do not construe the above as an endorsement of any.

If things get tight, the Doubletree is only a few blocks away on Broad Street...and is pretty solid for the price (and has an attached dedicated parking garage).

Personally, I'm staying at the Marriott Residence Inn about a block away (there are actually 3 different Marriott hotels near the convention center), which has nice sizable apartment type rooms.

There is also a higher end Lowe's Hotel directly across the street from the center and a regular Hilton less than a block away. All are decent.

Did anyone else go to the Philly Whitman show last year?

We were sharing the space with a huge convention of dentists. My wife actually snuck into one of their lectures...and they were performing live dentistry on a volunteer...they had a camera set up with a projection screen and they were drilling away during a demo of new equipment and techniques.

My wife actually enojyed it...freak that she is!!!
