For the 3.5* WEST property my best guess would be The Sonesta Hotel Philadelphia.. for the 3* EAST my guess would be the Wyndham Philadelphia-Historic District.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I tried for a while to get a cheaper rate on PRICELINE or PRICELINE EXPRESS, but after a bit it was clear that PL wasn't going to beat HOTWIRE

Here's the info:

The Sonesta Hotel Philadelphia- 3.5-star hotel

1800 Market St., Philadelphia, PA, 19103

7/17/13-7/18/13

$98

Used betterbidding links for all HOTWIRE and PRICELINE searches & purchase.

Thanks so much: After playing around about with PL, I decided to go for the 3.5* HOTWIRE hotel. You were correct on what it was, and I posted the win separately. KStrom

PS: Should I post a summary of my (failed) PL bids?

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and are pleased with the outcome.

For the future you can always keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread (both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE info if for the same trip/dates). Then, once you win a hotel use the EDIT TO REPORT WIN button on the lower right corner of this page (it's no longer there now since it can only be used once and we just used it to edit the topic title to reflect your win) and the entire thread will automatically move to the correct section of the board (if necessary).

Thank you for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board for your purchase and sharing your win, helping us add this new amenity set for this property to the Hotwire Hotel List.

Enjoy your stay... and hopefully a few cheesesteaks too!
