mdavis107 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Hi, This is my first post, so I'll stick to the rules. I am looking to book a hotel in Philly from August 4-8 2008 in the 2/3 stars range on Hotwire. I found two that looked attractive.1. 3-star hotel in Philadelphia Intl Airport PHL - Stadium Area for $69Ameninties: Shuttle, Fitness Center, Pool, Internet, Restaurant, Business Center, Laundry, High Speed Internet I looked at the list for this area, but I could not seem to find it on their--maybe the Holiday Inn Stadium?2. 2-star hotel in Center City East for $69Amenities: No Smoking, Free Breakfast, Business Center, High Speed InternetAgain not on the list and this one I have no idea, however it is attractive, because we have 5 people in our party with the free breakfast.I hope this is enough info for an ID, and please inform me if I have missed anything!Mdavis107
thereuare Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!Are you still seeing the 3* property on HOTWIRE... i'm seeing a different property (with just 3 amenities) when searching for your dates. If you still see this property, are you searching for more than the default 2adults or for more than one room? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
mdavis107 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 Ok, so I ID'd the 3* as the Holiday Inn Stadium based on the tripadvisor ratings and reviews. All the amenities match, so now I have to figure out the 2*, which proves to be more mysterious.
dahammer Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 this 2* is elusive, not been identified, but could be the Comfort Inn, Roadway Inn, or Travelodge. I understand that some of the Comfort Inns will be non smoking, so maybe by the time of your trip this will take place. I would call the hotel and see if this will be non smoking, good luck, and please use this HOTWIRE link if you proceed with your purchase.
mdavis107 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 It is either the Travelodge or the Rodeway based on area map that Hotwire provides.Based on amenities, I believe the only option is the Rodeway, because on its website it claims to have smoke free rooms (ie no "smoking" rooms are available for booking), free breakfast, "business services" and free internet.It took some looking, but I think I will check to see what the suburbs have to offer in terms of 2/3 star and free breakfast. I'll keep in communication. Thank you for your help. When I book I will always use the correct link for HOTWIRE, I promise:)
mdavis107 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 I have been informed that I need to follow up on this post. Looks like I forgot to put where I actually stayed for this trip. In any case, we ended up booking the Hyatt Summerfield Suites conventionally, so no HOTWIRE / PRICELINE here. Sorry that I neglected to do this last August.
