Philadelphia In-Town Hotels?

In town, what is the walk like from the Comfort Inn on Columbus to the
Sheraton Society Hill....from tripadvisor looks like the Comfort would
be a better expenditure of my funds (not to mention I could rack up
points) but my meeting is at the Sheraton.

Looks to be less than a mile so no problem there but can't tell if its
walkable, fairly major road, don't know if there are sidewalks or
not.....

Thanks.

That walk is roughly half a mile and its through a nice neighborhood.
Definitely walkable; I have done it many times.

For future use if the O.P. wants to splurge a bit - Embassy Suites is
overlooking what some call Museum Mile. The Franklin Institute,
Science Museum, Children's Museum, Rodan Museum are all within walking
distance of the Embassy Suites. I stayed there a while ago and booked
through Travel Now! I got a weekend special for $90.00 per night. The
included Sunday Brunch at the restaurant next door is excellent.
