?? Strange comment. It's a large city with major chain hotels. They're fine. I happen to love Philly. If you are looking for a pool near 30th St. Station, I'd try the downtown Marriott. A very quick cab ride away. I can't think of a hotel that's in easy walking distance to the station, unfortunately. But the Marriott is well located. I'd also consider staying in Rittenhouse Square or Old City. Philly is a really walkable city. Have fun!
