Priceline Hotel: 4* Philadelphia (Convention Center - Mid Center City) Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

[Whos]

I really prefer for it to be listed as 4 star as I had an issue with a 3 star hotel and don't want to get stuck there. I'm going to a concert in Philadelphia so I'd like to be as close as possible to the arena but I know I can I only choose areas to bid on. Ideally I'd like to get the cost down enough to offset some of those horrible parking fees all the hotels charge. My target price is about $75 since the parking at these places is around $50. I'd prefer 2 beds but I know I might get stuck with 1, and I really need free internet to be available at least in the lobby area of the hotel.

 

I see Priceline has a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for a 3* Philadelphia Stadium hotel, and if that one is the Holiday Inn right across from the arena, I'd be willing to take it, but the amenities are so close that I can't tell it isn't one of the other hotels nearer to the airport.

Updated because I decided not to do the Express deals. I got the Philadelphia Marriot Downtown for $80 a night/$99.93 after tax. Not the greatest deal because of the $48 parking but still better than the Holiday Inn across the street wanted to charge for the night.

 

I used the bidding helper PRICELINE link to make my purchase.

Congrats on your success. :)

 

Still not a bad deal for this property (better than regular rate + $48 parking.) Hope the hotel will work well for your travel plans.
