Tips About This Business
Reserve early if you plan to stay during college graduations or back-to-school time, when the inn is busiest.
The pay lot across the street is most convenient. Unfortunately, the cost of parking is not included in the room rate, and you'll have to head several blocks south before you reach free parking.

Shippen Way Inn is a very historic-looking inn. It is very inviting and charming. The rooms are fairly large and are so clean and well decorated. You will have your own bathroom, which are surprisingly quite roomy. The location is great and near so much activity and great site seeing spots. Parking is ok, but can be expensive. The staff is ultra friendly. You will enjoy your stay here.
There are many restaurants within walking distance as well as the great art supply store, Pearl. The inn is quiet and restful even though it is located in a busy part of the city. The rates are extremely reasonable. They have wine and cheese available in the afternoon--perfect after a day of sightseeing.
