Nice In-Town "Getwaway"

If you've never had the opportunity to vacation in your own backyard I highly recommend it. It really is a different experience - especially if you have a kid! There are often 4 star hotels listed through Hotwire.com for less than $100 per night - an excellent deal. We have, or have had family stay at many hotels downtown - The Courtyard Marriott, the Hilton, the Westin, the Omni William Penn, and the Hampton Inn (technically the Strip, but REALLY close) and all have been pretty darn nice. We have family staying at the Renaissance in a few weeks so I'm sure that will live up to the reputation.

The only downside to the backyard vacation? I really wish more places were open on the weekends. With many new condo and apartment complexes expected to open this year, hopefully more downtown businesses will open their doors outside of bankers hours.
