but he didn't dry his hair...

We had a great stay at the Holiday Inn Philadelphia Historic District in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I'm basing "great" on quality of sleep and location for this stay, because the hotel itself was adequate, but nothing special. It provided a home base for our touring and we were quite comfortable. What was lacking in room amenities was more than made up for with the perfect location of the hotel in the historical district. We were within walking distance of everything "cool" in Philadelphia. What a great home-base for our weekend!

The desk clerks and hotel personnel gave us wonderful information and helpful hints. They should be commended for the knowledge of their city and the "hints" they offered. In fact, because of their information we were able to leisurely visit Constitution Hall on one of the busiest days of the year by signing up early for the first tour of the day. We wouldn't have known that otherwise.

As for the hotel, I'm pretty sure that like everywhere else in Pennsylvania - Washington must've slept here. But, I'm also pretty sure that he didn't dry his hair. He couldn't have because the square hairdryer produced little air, and was just plain awful. Second thought... maybe he did. Maybe it was just missing its historical marker!
