1. The prices are marginally higher than you might pay for some of the standard chains, but even the cheapest hotels in central Philadelphia are pretty expensive, so for a few dollars more it's worth getting the convenience, ambiance and comfort of the Independent.

3. Free wifi in the room and free use of the computer room were absolutely a plus, something we did not get in any other hotel (even in more expensive ones) during our trip throughout the States.
