3/5 - Okay
This is the home of the homeless in Philly. Nice facility but hard to appreciate with the smell of urine outside.

The convention center has a lot of homeless people living around it esp under the tunnel . They didn’t bother me or anyone at all. The odor is unpleasant.
Extremely spread out and little to no directions for properties that do not connect, be prepared for an extra 15min hike just in case.
I walked all around convention center. I didn't have any reason to go inside. Lots of homeless people around the convention center, which was unexpected at this place. Philadelphia in general has homeless people all day/night long along the streets/sidewalks. My general observation of Philadelphia is dirty, the sewer smell when walking on sidewalks is horrible, lots of homeless people(and with that when walking there was always a stinch of urine, I am sure where a homeless person or 2 urinated on walk or building).
A friendly SEPTA agent encouraged me to get a travel wallet. If you call the number on the back or go online to register the SEPTA Key card, they apply the $4.95 fee towards your trips. Each trip on the trolley or bus was $2 instead o $2.50 in cash. The card I have is now good until 2023, so I need to come back! I got off at the stop near City Hall and enjoyed the walk.
Got the chance to see a little bit of the Convention center as part of the "Philly By Night" tour! It was said that it costed over a BILLION dollars for the center to be built - wow!
