Commute time from Conshohocken (where to stay, hotels, school)

[rbandtb]

I am going to TUHS (W. Huntington Park Ave) and I am undecided on where to stay, downtown or Conshohocken. I am concerned about commute times and parking in the city. Any suggestions on which is the better option?

Are you going to the hospital or the administrative services building? In either case you can park at the site. For hotels, in Center City you'll likely have to pay for the parking. It will be a shorter commute from Center City though. If you don't have to go during the morning rush, then it's a pretty short ride from Conshohocken to the admin services building, maybe 20 minutes, and an additional 5-10 minutes to the hospital.

Just in case you'll be using Mapquest, Google or a GPS for directions, it's W. Hunting Park ave.

Thanks! I am going to the admin building (corp offices) and unfortunately it will be during the rush (8 am).

The reason that I am thinking about not staying downtown is the cost of the hotel + parking. I was wondering if it was worth it to stay in Conshohocken and commute in. If it is going to be a crazy commute, I will just stay downtown.

You can avoid 76 from Conshohocken and instead come in along Ridge Ave. and Henry Ave. which will take you directly to Hunting Park Ave. Might take you 30 instead of 20 minutes at that time. Traffic in the summer is always a little better because there are no school buses.
