Getting Around:

Without a Car:

• A shuttle or cab will be required to travel from and to the airport.
• If you wish to go to the King of Prussia Mall area the hotel also has a free shuttle that can take you there.
• Due to the suburban nature of the immediate area, taxi cabs takes 30-45 minutes when called on demand or they can be pre-scheduled.

With a Car: 

• The primary attraction in the immediate area is the King of Prussia Mall.
• Philadelphia's "Main Line" area is accessible with a little more effort and 25 minutes of driving.
