Philadelphia Airport Transportation to Radisson Hotel Valley Forge

I will be attending a conference at the Radisson Valley Forge in October. I will arrive on the 18th of October and depart on the 25th. What would be the best mode of transportation to Valley Forge from the airport?
I suppose I should add that I am a 66 year old woman traveling alone, so I want safe and dependable transportation. I've heard that there's a light rail servie, but I'm not sure how difficult this would be with a couple of suitcases.

Nope, no rail service to Valley Forge (King of Prussia).

I believe your only choice is taxi or shuttle service, but I have no experience with that.

Sorry. I have no experience with the services to Valley Forge.

You might also check with your hotel for their suggestions.

You're going to be there for quite a while. Are all your meals included on site? (And Radisson is not known for it;s cuisine.) If not, you will probably need to rent a car.

Here is the info for Tropiano to the Radisson:

Airport Shuttle Service
Airport shuttle service is available by a private shuttle company, Tropiano. Shuttles depart from the Airport Ground Transportation Area every 30 minutes from 6am-midnight.

One way: $29 (credit)
One way: $24 (cash)
Round trip: $48 (credit)
Round trip: $43 (cash)
Reservations for shuttle service can be made by calling Tropiano at (215) 643-5397.

I have used them. Just go to the ground transportaion desk at the airport and tell them you want Tropiano to the Radisson and they will tell you a number to call. They run from the airport frequently throughout the day. They may make several stops along the way to the Radisson.
The Radisson has a couple restaurants. Chumley's is very good and the Scanticon (right next door-don't even have to go outside to get there) has the Blue Grotto which is good.
There are many restaurants in King of Prussia and maybe you and some other people at your conference could share a taxi to them.
