Staying in Mt. Laurel

Staying at Crawford Place off Rte.73 for a weekend in late Sept. We want to do the historic district in Philly, should we try driving or take local transportation ? Thanks, tom

Drive. There really IS no local transport Mt. Laurel to Philly. Park somewhere on Arch st and leave the car in the garage for the day.

2nd Loonbeam%26#39;s information. You could also park in the garage on 2nd Street between Chestnut and Walnut (entrance of the left) Should be about $16 for the day.

Actually, the Crawford Place Hotel is located near the Mt. laurel bus terminal that goes into Philly. Personally, I always drive into Philly. It is very easy and generally fast compared to the bus. But if you want to take a bus, there is one nearby at Rt. 73 and Fellowship Road about 5 minutes from your hotel. It will take you to the bus terminal in Philly located at 10th and Arch, I believe, walking distance to the historic sites.

You could also take the Patco High Speed line from Woodcrest station to 8th and Market. The station is located off of I-295 with a dedicated exit, I think its exit 30. Rt. 73 is located at exit 36 on I-295. Again this will take more time than driving but is a good option. Moms

I park at the garage across from the Marriott hotel on Filbert Easy access, secure, and if you get a ticket and spend $10 at the Reading terminal Market, they will validate for a discount.

Thanks for the info, I am leaning toward going via Patco, it seems it%26#39;s only about 10-15 minutes from the motel and I think we can sign up for the seniors discount tickets , 10 rides for $5.75. I am not too keen in driving into a big city where things are unfamiliar. How does that look to you guys ?

Thanks again,

tom

Patco is a fine option as well. I will say be sure to secure any valuable looking items in the car at the patco lot, while it is NOT unsafe, there have been reports of break-ins (as can happen at any large remote parking site).

Thanks again, my only valuable is my wife,sooo I guess I%26#39;ll not leave her in the car.
