stayed in cherry hill, JERSEY. 13 minutes from school, rented a car. It was a days Inn and it sucked a dirty sack. I would stay at the best western the school recommends
Marriot Courtyard was awesome. great service and located near an amazing bakery with really cheap, delicioius breakfast. it's located right next to city hall and in the heart of downtown philly. and it's only a 5-10 min taxi drive away from temple.
Holiday Inn Express on Chestnut I think... in center city!
It is a BEAUTIFUL hotel... great views of the city and it is CHEAPPPPPPP ($79???) if you tell them you are going for your temple interview.. cab ride is like $15 to the school.
