6. If you would like to be near HUP, the Inn at Penn (a 3 block walk) or the Sheraton University City (about a 6-7 block walk) are much much better bets.

7. I should have known better after reading the review that called this 'an embarrassment to Penn', but I decided to stay at Penn Tower in March, 2003 because I really wanted to be close to HUP, and figured that something owned by such a fine University could not be so bad.
