mkeeney Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm traveling to Philadelphia Nov. 6-8 for a convention. Right now Hotwire is showing a 3.5* in the City Center West - University area for $86. The amenities are: indoor pool, smoke-free rooms, fitness center, restaurant, business center, high-speed internet access, accessible for the blind, accessible path of travel, in-room accessibility, handicapped parking. Am I correct in guessing this is the Sheraton City Center? If so, I can get a better deal through the Last Minute Travel club - $73 with no guessing. Am I also correct in assuming that the accessible amenities mean they are available, not that I would necessarily be given a room with them? It appears that Hotwire is adding accessible amenities to all of their listings.I already have a reservation at the Club Quarters Philadelphia for those dates that I will cancel if I find a better deal. My company is a CQ member so the rate there is $139 for the small room. Given that something around that price would be my ceiling, would I be better off trying for a 4* on Priceline?This board has been such a great help. I always start my searches using the links. Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 You are correct that the accessible amenities indicates that they are available, not that you'll necessarily be assigned an accessible room.We have not yet see a hotel reported to the board with this amenity set, but the Sheraton City Center would certainly be at least one possibility.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

mkeeney Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Started at $96, went to $99, accepted at $101. Hotel was good, but not really any nicer than most 3 star hotels I've stayed in. I was offered free internet when I checked in because I am Starwood Gold, but then they charged my cc anyway. I had a lot of trouble getting them to refund the charges, but they finally did after I emailed the general manager. Very easy to target on PRICELINE as it is currently the only 4* hotel in Mt. Laurel. Link to comment
