This is an updated and expanded report about the area.
For those who are visiting or are new to the area, this is a summary of the major hobby zones in and around Philadelphia. Philadelphia: Center City ("CC") is the main business and cultural part of town. This area features many hotels, restaurants of all types, the area's finest museums and cultural points and other amenities. CC is best for businessmen who can break away during the business day. The lack of free parking is an obstacle to some hobbyists, but some of the hotels in the airport area also charge for parking. Another issue is that the better hotels require a key card to activate the elevator, so some maneuvering may be required. As would be expected, hotel prices are generally higher than in the suburbs. Another in-city possibility is in the Penn Landing area, near the river front. The Hyatt is the nicest hotel along the river and there is nice Sheraton across Columbus Avenue in the nearby Society Hill-Old City area. You are a bit isolated in this part of town (much less so at the Sheraton) but that may not be an issue if you tend to keep to your hotel. King of Prussia: Another big Hobby area is King of Prussia ("KOP"). This a western suburb marked by two large shopping malls, many hotels and restaurants. This area is very convenient for the many mongers who lie in the western suburbs. The downside is that it is a trek for those who live in CC, the eastern suburbs or New Jersey. Also, LE is supposedly most active in KOP, but you see lots of ads for ladies setting up shop in KOP. Just be careful. Transportation can be a problem in the suburbs, so it would be wise to see what hotels have shuttles to either the airport or the 30th Street Amtrak station. Some ladies take the local train service (SEPTA) from the central 30th Street to reach nearby Norristown, then taking a cab or shuttle to get to the hotel. Plymouth Meeting and Willow Grove: Two other suburban areas receiving more attention are Plymouth Meeting and Willow Grove. These areas are east of KOP near the PA Turnpike and also have malls, restaurants and hotels, but less LE activity.

Some ladies take the local train service (SEPTA) from the central 30th Street to reach nearby Norristown, then taking a cab or shuttle to get to the hotel. Airport: This is a favorite nesting area for ladies and hobbyists because of its many moderately priced hotels, the availability of free or cheap parking and the relative anonymity of the place. There are few amenities in the area. Travelers can get to CC by hotel shuttle, a train or by cab. There are paid shuttle services that go to the hotels in South Jersey and the PA suburbs. New Jersey Suburbs: The South Jersey towns of Cherry Hill and Mt. Laurel are busy hobby destinations since they are near the New Jersey Turnpike, I-295 and are not far from Philadelphia. Traffic seems to be less of an issue and hotel prices are lower. LE in Mt. Laurel is more active than in Cherry Hill. A car is a necessity as cab service is spotty.Philadelphia Area Attractions: The Benjamin Franklin Parkway has five great museums and is a nice place to walk when the weather is fine. For adults the top three are the Philadelphia Museum of Art (huge, diverse and extraordinary collections in a magnificent building), the Rodin Museum (concise collection of Rodin's major works in a recently renovated venue) and the new Barnes Foundation (impressionism gone wild in a new building). The Benjamin Franklin Institute specializes in science and technology and is great for kids and adults. And then there is the museum of natural history. The Independence Square area has Independence Hall, the Liberty Belle, Betsy Ross's house and other historical sites. The nearby Society Hill area has 18th Century homes, great shops and restaurants and a little further south is funky South Street, although that area can be dicey for attractive women traveling alone. Public transportation is generally by bus and there are lots of cabs. Here's a link for to info about public transportation in Philly and South Jersey
Looking to make my first visit to your area and I was hoping someone could give me some pointers on the best areas to stay that are convenient for the gentlemen and less parking issues?
Check out this thread. There is a post that breaks down the different areas.

Good luck
This is a really good overview. For me personally, I live out West. KoP is very convenient...easy to get to, easy to park, easy to get back into work. Plymouth Meeting probably the same. So that would be my personal preference. The challenge is how do you get there. If you don't have a car and are taking the train to Philly, it will be tough to get around.
Center City, while a bit more difficult to get to from the burbs, still works just fine for me. And as noted that also opens up the guys who work downtown. Parking can be a pain but there's plenty of surface lots that are within walking distance of the hotels around the convention center, plus you have access to Reading Terminal Market and DiNics (not to be missed!). Several hotels on Market Street and several on Broad. I think Penn's landing is a bit tougher for a western burbs guy. And the airport for me is right out. Having to get down the Blue Route pretty much sucks.
Hope this helps. Others may have a different perspective, but frankly I don't really care about them 
I like and did better around center city and cherry hill nj. The airport area is so-so. Some ladies like working out around KOP and others would you tell you to stay away due to LE etc.
Sounds right. Can't speak to Cherry Hill because I'm on the other side of town, but CC might be the best place to get started.
