Families Play Favorites With One Philadelphia Extended-Stay Hotel

LANGHORNE, PA--(Marketwired - Aug 2, 2013) - Favoritism may be frowned upon in terms of children, but not in terms of hotels. And any property that makes traveling en famille somewhat easier will be rewarded with a word-of-mouth endorsement powerful enough to make the hotel's reputation. After all, as any parent knows, traveling with kids requires copious snacks, plenty of toys and an exhaustive knowledge about where to stay, how to get there and what to do. The best source of that information is other parents, which is good news for the Residence Inn Philadelphia Langhorne: Families consistently rate it the No. 1 place to stay in the area according to Trip Advisor.

Given the recently renovated hotel's repertoire of family-friendly attractions, this preferential treatment is not surprising. The 100 spacious suites range in size from 460 to 620 square feet, allowing ample room for portable cribs, pullout sofa beds and all the luggage that follows families around like a clutching toddler. Showers and tubs -- replete with rubber ducks -- appear in every suite to simplify bedtime and help little ones stick to their routines.

Best yet, this Philadelphia-area extended-stay hotel is ideally located for family-friendly activities. In fact, the Langhorne hotel is right next to the most adored attraction among the under-10 set: Sesame Place. Where else can little ones come face-to-face with Big Bird, hug Elmo and practice numbers with Count von Count? Where else do summertime specials, whether it's a fireworks display, a Back-to-School Bash or a Labor Day barbecue, translate to one-on-one time with some of the country's most beloved characters? And where else can parents take advantage of the hotel's complimentary shuttle service to and from the theme park?

But of course, there is more. Families, after all, are rather choosy about their favorites, and this extended-stay hotel near Trenton, New Jersey has earned its top reputation for good reason. It's near a multitude of attractions, many of which are coordinating special summer events. Giggleberry Fair, for example, features a daily special during the summer to enchant little ones, whether it's free carousel rides on Mondays or $1 menu items on Thursdays. Adventure Aquarium thrills visitors young and old alike during its Shark Week, which spotlights rare and toothy species. The hotel is also near the Philadelphia Zoo and the Please Touch Museum, both of which encourage kids to unleash their wild sides.

With so much to see and do -- and the perfect place from which to see and do it -- there's never been a better time to plan an end-of-summer getaway.
