Our Stay at The SpringHill Suites Marriott Langhorne

We’ve been going to Sesame Place for a few years. But it’s been years since we’ve made it a 2-day trip. Sesame Place is a Family Fun Getaway! Norrin is out of school and we decided to take a little overnight road trip. We started off Monday morning on our way to Philly. After a full day in Philly we drove back down to Langhorne to the SpringHill Suites Marriott.

We checked in and headed to our room. Norrin loves hotels. As soon as we walked in, he made himself at home in our room. It was perfect for our little family. There was a king size bed, pull out sofa and a desk/office area – it was quite spacious. The complimentary Wi-Fi was such a bonus! It allowed me to get a little work done and Norrin was able to search Safari. The alarm clock featured an iPod dock. CNN, ESPN and HBO were available to watch. There was a mini fridge, micro wave and coffee maker. I took a quick peek in the wardrobe and there was an iron (and iron board), a hair dryer, extra pillows, a blanket and an water proof mattress pad. There was also a Graco play pen. While we have no need for a play pen, it was nice to see that there was one in our room. (However, there was no safe in the room – safety deposit boxes are available by the front desk.) 

We settled into our room and decided to walk (it’s a 4 lane street but it’s walkable) across to the shopping center for dinner at Chili’s. The SpringHill Suites is not only within walking distance to Sesame Place (there’s a walkway to the park) but it’s close to many shops and restaurants. 

After dinner we walked back to the hotel. (Our original plan was to see the evening Sesame Place parade but I lost track of the time.) I loved that there was a fitness area, pool, jacuzzi and outdoor sitting area (with a fire pit). We had plans of walking back down to the pool but once we returned to the room, we showered and sunk into bed. It had been a long day and we wanted to get to Sesame Place first thing in the morning.

We woke up refreshed and ready for the day! We headed down for breakfast and was impressed at what they offered. It wasn’t just bagels and fruit. Yes there was bagels, croissants and an assortment of sweet breads. But there was also scrambled eggs, canadian bacon, oatmeal, make your waffles with all the fixings as well as fruit, yogurt and coffee. Now I am a serious coffee drinker and I was super excited that they offered milk and International Delights creams.

After breakfast we packed our things and headed to the park for a fun filled day. 

We all loved the vibe and proximity of the SpringHill Suites Marriott. It was clean, comfortable and checking out was so easy. It’s a wonderful family friendly hotel with so many local attractions nearby – Philly is a short drive away! It’s such an ideal location for families visiting Sesame Place. We will definitely return for a much longer stay!   

Doesn’t Norrin look comfortable?
