Disclosure: Our stay was compliments of Residence Inn!
One of our summer must do’s this year was Sesame Place. It is about two hours from our house so we decided to save our sanity it would be best to stay at a hotel the night after we visited the park. Driving two hours there, playing for ten hours and then driving two hours home just didn’t sound very fun.
I read quite a few reviews of hotels near Sesame Place and decided the Philadelphia/Langhorne Residence Inn by Marriott would work best for us. This high end, newly renovated hotel features spacious suites with separate areas for sleeping, living and working, including a well-equipped kitchen and it is less than 3 minutes from Sesame Place!
They also offer a complimentary hot buffet breakfast daily and a free shuttle (to save on parking) to and from Sesame Place!
Eating at Sesame Place is very pricey so I really liked that this Residence Inn offered complimentary grocery shopping. After a long day at the park, you can head back to your hotel room to cook a home made dinner in the kitchen! The next morning, roll out of bed and stroll down to the delicious hot breakfast near the lobby!
The in room kitchen has a microwave, stove or cook top, dishwasher, dining table and chairs so you can easily prepare meals for the kids and save big time on meals at restaurants. If your not in the mood to cook, you can find something more affordable than Sesame Place at their 24 hour Market.
The hotel also has 24-hour laundry room, complimentary wireless internet, and a comfortable library featuring computer, printer and fax services in the lobby.
They even have a heated pool and spa, fitness room, outdoor Sports Court and billiards room.
We left Sesame Place right before dinner so we could eat in our room. After dinner the kids got bored in our room so we were able to take advantage of the pool and outdoor basketball court.
Once it was time to head to bed I was very grateful for the room set up. Our bed was in a separate nook away form the living area/pull out couch that the kids slept on. So we were able to put them to bed, turn the TV towards us and have some adult time.
The Residence Inn by Marriott has over 600 locations across the US and Canada. If you are heading to Sesame Place and could use a place to lay your head the night after call 215-946-6500 to make a reservation!
We just stayed there, and loved it too! It really is a great place for families. The best part was the shuttle to the park. Or maybe it was the market in the lobby where you can buy a single bottle of wine 🙂 I can’t decide which I liked more! haha
We’ll definitely be staying there again.
Wow what a great place to stay. Home away from home. Thanks for the review.
This sounds like a really great place to stay- truly a home with so many amenities. Thanks for the review
wow , never heard of complimentary grocery shopping !
It looks wonderful all around and I love the idea of cooking dinner in rather then eating out every night. It gives me the option to save some money and that always makes me smile!
I need a mini weekend vacation and this sounds perfect!
We love Residence Inn! Look for one whenever we travel!
Woa, great review, nice pictures and awesome place !

This is just such a beautiful place. I want to go just to stay there. So nice! Thanks for sharing.
we have stayed at one of these before with my brother and his family in TN- it was so nice and very convenient.
I really like the look and sound of this place. I would love to take a vacation and stay there!!!
It looks very cozy. I am absolutely adoring the decor in the room and that huge pool would be nice in summer.
I would definetly stay here at the Residence Inn it is beautiful ad has everything I need or want. Thank you for the review.
Thanks for sharing! We are considering a Sesame Place trip this summer and appreciate the recommendation on where to stay!

Looks like a great place to vacation. I’ve always had thoughts of going to Philedelphia.
God’s creation is breathtaking – beautiful!
I wish I had heard of this place before we went – looks great!
All the comforts of home! It looks like a wonderful place to stay.
looks like a great place to stay. the amenities sound great. i especially like the idea of complimentary grocery shopping.
I have always wanted to see this part of our Country. I’ve lived from California to Alabama to Florida to Texas and now back in Los Angeles!!! I especially like how you can cook your own food i the room!
I love the design and the feel of home!
This sounds fabulous! It’s certainty got wonderful guest perks! A great hotel makes the trip better! Complimentary grocery shopping!? Really?! I want to live there! Thanks for the review!
This hotel look amazing! It seems like a your not staying at a hotel but a temporary new home. A love the decor.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that. It’s so beautiful and scenic. Wish I could go!! ♥
I have a friend near Philly, plus when I was in Basic Training in NJ we spent a weekend in Philly for the Von Steuben parade. I would love to be able to visit there, and this hotel looks amazing! Of course, I am partial to Marriott properties; my husband used to work for their food distribution company before they shut it down, so we have had a LOT of good experiences with them!
looks nice and is close to home
This looks like such a cute place! i’d love to visit it.
I believe I went to a wedding reception there awhile ago. If so, it was very nice.
I love Resident Inn’s hotels. As a previous marriott employee i can say they stand for everything they do. They clean rooms thoroughly and treat their guests great!. Great Review
This seems to be a great place to take the entire family-something for everyone.
This looks like a very nice place. It is so hard to find a place of this quality for a reasonable price. Looks like you did great.
Your kids are so lucky. Sesame street too!! Wow! We saw Sesame street live but to go to Sesame street. No Sesame street in Oregon!!! Thanks for the great review on where to stay!
looks like a great place to stay. the amenities sound great. i especially like the idea of complimentary grocery shopping.
A hotel room with its own kitchen is an amazing find! Thanks for the great review.
What a great place to stay! SO many amenities and convenient to Sesame Place as well, you got a great deal!
Wow very spacious! I was curious about this post since I’m not far away from the Philly area and thinking of some close-by road trip areas my husband and I can take our 7mo old baby to.. definitely not ready for a long distance trip!
GREAT PLACE TO STAY THANK YOU FOR THE INFO
Residence Inn: Philadelphia/Langhorne
Love Pa in the winter time
Sounds like a great place
Looks like an awesome home to stay in.
This looks amazing…. Ahhh the thought of peace and quiet is as far fetched a dream as winning the lottery!
beautiful place, history and charm! Would love to stay there!
Looks like a nice place, I would love it here because i have friends in Philly and would love to visit.
This looks like a really fun place to stay.
I’m so happy to see this review. My daughter and SIL were just saying because of the long 2 hour drive to get to Sesame Place they would look into places to stay instead of driving home at the end of a long and tiring day. I have to say the pics are so colorful and detailed. I’d consider just staying here for a few days. 🙂
The rooms look spacious and so colorful. I’m going to pass this on to my daughter as they plan on going to Sesame Place again. Thanks so much for your great review.

Wow, this place looks great! I can’t wait to check this place out(I’m going to Philadelphia in October) 🙂
This looks niceee! Id love to stay here!!!
This looks like an amazing hotel! A perfect getaway for my little family!
I was just talking to my sister today about visiting her in Virginia and then take a day and travel the 3 extra hours to Hersheypark in Hershey, PA. While this particular Residence Inn would not be close enough, they do have a Residence Inn within 15 min. Thank you for being so thorough on your review and answering all my questions before I could ask them!
Close to home
wahh , i’m so envy for those ppl who can spend their time there .
The room looks nice and I love the indoor pool . The free shuttle service sounds great too. Definitely my kind of hotel.
This place looks so nice! I’d love to stay here.
this place looks nice!
such a nice hotel and the pool looks amazing 🙂 great review!!
This place sounds wonderful. The photos look amazing and I love the idea of complimentary grocery shopping. I have never heard of a hotel having that feature.
Residence Inn is always one of the first places my family considers when traveling. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. We love their snacks and tv selections. Their staff is always courteous, kid-friendly, and will go out of their way to make your stay pleasant.
