Eric, I agree with you about staying at Plymouth Meeting. For one thing the layout and the seating in the atrium made for a much more convivial setting. Add in the amenities like fridge, microwave, and a very decent included breakfast and I'm sold. Plus, for those who like/need to share rooms, the suites must have made that more pleasant adding a bit of privacy with a closable bedroom door and a pullout sofa in the other room.
And for non-drivers like me, having the mall across the street, complete with a Radio Shack, made it easy to obtain supplies. Mega-Kudos to our indefatigable festmeisters for all they do.
