I know I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but the walking estimate is way off. The Marriott (assuming the convention center) is two blocks up and one block over from the PH. I'm guessing it's more like an 8 minute walk, maybe 0.3 miles. Definitely a waste of a cab ride.
Heck, it's farther from one end of the convention center to the other!</font>
By the time you ride two sets of elevators at the hotel, get your bearings, cross some busy streets, and dodge all the wonderful characters you'll encounter in Philly, it may in fact take you 15 min.
Typically, it's a very nice walk, but I'd say a cab
could be in order in mid-March, when the weather is not always so great in Philly. Or maybe you guys know a different Philadelphia than me.
