Philadelphia hotel with well-lit parking lot
 
I'm a lady who will be traveling to Philadelphia alone. I don't want to be wandering around parking gargages at night by myself. Can anyone recommend a hotel close to center city Philadelphia that has a parking lot that is well-lit, or a hotel with a parking garage attached to it (for example, in the basement)?

How about a hotel that has valet parking?

I'm not crazy about being in any parking lot on my own at night, no matter the degree of its light or proximity to the hotel.

The Sheraton City Center has an attached underground garage that we've used. I wouldn't use it alone though. They do have valet parking with in/out privileges. The hotel is near the museums.

The Bellevue has an attached garage. So does the Holiday Inn. And the Sheraton Society Hill.

The Westin has a lot under Liberty Place that is perfectly fine. So is the garage under Franklin Plaza for the Sheraton on the Parkway.

There is a lot on Sansom bet. 17th and 18th that works for the Sofitel and the Palomar. They park the car for you. There is a lot on the right on Sansom between Broad and 15th that discounts for people going to or staying at the Union League. It is very bright.

And there is always valet.

Valet parking sounds like the way to go. Any suggestions for hotels with valet parking?

What's your budget? The Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, Rittenhouse, and Inn at Penn all have valet parking.

Thanks Greenhouse. The link showed all the Philly hotels with valet parking. I'm able to use my Hilton Honors points to stay at the Doubletree on Broad St. The Hilton Inn at Penn also has valet parking but didn't have availability.

I'm glad it worked out for you. Enjoy your trip. Philadelphia is a great city to visit.

Stay away from the Hyatt Regency at Penns Landing. It's a beautiful hotel inside & a great location on the waterfront, but the parking garage is so dim and shady & attached to the hotel by an underground dimly lit walkway. Even I as a man, I was concerned for my safety. On our 2nd night there, our car was broken into & everything not bolted down was stolen. When we reported it to the hotel & parking garage, we were just handed a piece of paper explaining how you park at your own risk & they're responsible for nothing if anything happens. I'll never go there again & highly recommend others stay away.
