dtuleya Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I've been trying to decide if it will be worth it to stay overnight on an upcoming trip. Called several of the hotels and asked what their daily parking rate was if I won a PL ressie. Some said that unless you actually book a Park & Ride they won't let you park there due to limited space. Anyone check out parking information after they've won a bid recently? Part of the reason we like to stay the night before is for the convenience of the shuttle/parking. Might not be worth it now. :) Link to comment

thereuare Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Have you checked Hotwire, which may cost you a few extra dollars in the room rate, but will also enable you to 'target' which hotel you will likely get... enabling you to try to get one with the most favorable parking terms.

dtuleya Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 That's what I'm thinking of doing. However, the Marriot is the only hotel that tells you up front that you can park ($17/day since they are onsite at the airport - guess we could park out at satellite before we check in since it's only $9/day) and they only are listing concierge rooms as available for $269/night on most of the other websites. I confirmed this with the Marriott reservations desk and they said there is only one concierge room left. I already checked Hotwire and there is only one 3* listed so that is probably either the Sheraton or the Holiday Inn. Should know in the next day or two what flight the travel agent books us on and I'll be able to decide what our strategy will be. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Why not just plan on self-parking at a satellite location ($9/day) and then take a shuttle to the airport and then shuttle to hotel... from that point on your can relax and not have to worry about your car or any of the hassles of driving until you return from your trip.You can then priceline or hotwire your stay, and if you happen to get a hotel with good parking terms the deal only gets better.

dtuleya Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 After talking with hubby that's what we've decided to do...just waiting for call from TA. Link to comment
dtuleya Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hubby's company ended up paying for a stay at the Four Points by Sheraton Philadelphia Airport because we ended up having to take his customers along at the last minute. Link to comment
