Fodor's Review:

This is the cheapest place to stay in Philadelphia -- $20 a night if you're a Hostelling International member, $23 if you're not. The restored 1802 Federal-style country estate is loaded with character. Flags line the entrance hall; rooms are styled after an 1850 country villa and walls are decorated with old maps, sketches, and paintings. There's a self-service kitchen. Chamounix Mansion is a 15-minute walk from a bus stop; call for directions.
