That would be wonderful. Depending on how far you want to ride in the morning, you can get a hotel on the Schuylkill River Trail and ride that in. It's really wonderful. The only on-road is 3/4 mile in Manyunk until you get to Kelly Drive and make a right. From there, best way is to make right at Falls Bridge, left onto MLK Drive and that will parallel Kelly Drive on the other side of the Schylkill. Your GPS might keep you on Kelly, but MLK Drive is closed to car traffic 8a-5pm on weekends. Better than sharing MUP for those last 4 miles. The entire route from Oaks, PA to Philadelphia is quite populated, so hotels are a-plenty.
Andy C. might have some suggestions for hotels. I think it's in Conshohocken that there is a hotel (Mariott???) right on the trail. That's about 20 miles to Phiadlephia. It's about 25 miles to Philadelphia from the Betzwood Trailhead at Valley forge park. Parking at any of the Septa lots along the way is free on weekends if you need to drive to a trailhead.
