Mig, I did some research and found this hotel, which is exactly 7 minutes away from the Moshulu and Penn's Landing where the Moshulu and other places are located on the waterfront.

>>"Located in the heart of Philadelphia's arts district along the Avenue of the Arts, the Doubletree Hotel Philadelphia sits just across from the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the Academy of Music, and Merriam and Wilma Theaters. Walk from our hospitable downtown hotel to South Street, the Italian Market, Antiques Row, Rittenhouse and Washington Squares, the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Historic Waterfront District, world-class dining and shopping, and all the unique historical sites that make Philadelphia a national treasure. With easy access to I-95, Philadelphia International Airport is only 20 minutes from our hotel.
Our excellent location and friendly staff offer value and service to business and leisure travelers. The Doubletree Hotel is ideally situated for groups. Our well-appointed guestrooms, suites, and executive accommodations on the private-access Tower Level feature gracious, traditional décor, generous work areas and high-speed internet access . Enjoy casual dining at the Academy Café, or your favorite beverages and light fare at The Standing O Bistro & Bar.

Our full service hotel provides concierge and tour services, as well as inviting onsite recreational amenities like a sparkling, indoor pool and whirlpool, sauna, fitness center, sundeck (great views of Broad Street and downtown Philadelphia), racquetball courts, and a rooftop garden and jogging track. A full compliment of business support services and flexible meeting and banquet space provides everything a corporate traveler might need to remain productive while in Philadelphia.<<"

Maybe Becky can give us some "inside" information on this hotel and find out what the rates per night will be. She can use a date, just for informations sake, of a check in on Friday August 18th to Sunday August 20th. Again, just using those dates for the purpose of getting a rate. Nothing more right now.
