First bid was for $75, havea friend coming to town tomorrow night. Very pleased with this property, it is the former Inn on The Park.

Bid this for some friends coming in on Easter weekend. Was hoping to get the Marriott where we're staying, but instead came up with the Hilton Garden Inn near the Convention Center. First bid of $48 was accepted.

Thanks ThereUAre for the welcome. I'm glad to have found this site, and the friendly administrators here. I did double check the Priceline page, and the Marriott Downtown is indeed a 3* property, NOT a 4 * one. This is one of those properties that PL rates as a 3* when it could probably truthfully be higher. Other times 3* properties on PL sometimes are less desirable than a 2 1/2*, but I won't bid the 2 1/2 for fear of the dreaded "upgrade". Chicago comes to mind in this area.

Received the Philadelphia Marriott on PL today for a bid of $48 a night, for Easter weekend, 3/25 to 3/27. This was my first bid, and was happy to be accepted on the first try! The Marriott's website shows $129/night for these dates. Combined with the new really low airfares into PHL, this looks like it's shaping up to be a really cheap weekend! We're not reanting a car, so hopefully we can get everywhere on foot or via cheap cab rides.
