Priceline Hotel: Help request: 6/6-6/7 Philadelphia, Rittenhouse Square - Business District

[Intropy]

I'm looking for help bidding on a hotel in Rittenhouse Square - Business District of Philadelphia for the night from 6/6 - 6/7. My budget is around $180. I'm willing to rebid multiple times so I think my best strategy is to start at 4 stars is that reasonable possible to obtain and then move down from there if necessary.

Is there a post explaining how I can do these identifications myself?

I'm sorry if it was against the rules to post once in Priceline and once in Hotwire for researching the same stay. For anyone reading it, that second post asking about identification is referring to a hotel on Hotwire.

I wouldn't say "against the rules" but just the format that we have found works best ;)

For HOTWIRE hotels you can at least start by looking in the Hotwire Hotel List for the respective state you're searching for. However, lots of new amenities have recently been added by HOTWIRE so it will likely be a bit of time before you find any exact matches.

For the 4.5* property above my best guess would be the Sofitel upgraded since the last time it was reported to the board (and with a new amenity set as well). Regardless of what it is, this HOTWIRE property is showing an excellent 4.5/5.0 TA rating so i wouldn't be too concerned with quality for this one.

Do you want to go with this HOTWIRE listing OR if you'd prefer to try bidding on PRICELINE for this stay, let us know and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Thanks for your help. I ended up not making an aside to Philadelphia and instead stayed in New York - on a friend's couch that night since I couldn't make any better combination fit my budget.

Sorry you couldn't make the side-trip, but hopefully you enjoyed the time with your friend.

Thanks for closing this thread with your decision.

Please remember to follow-up your threads with whatever you end up doing for the stay, even if you choose to book direct, cancel your trip, etc.
