Priceline Hotel: 3* Philadelphia (Mt Laurel-Cherry Hill) Wyndham Mt Laurel

[funk]

Hi, I first bid $65 for 3* downtown Philly, and lost (thankfully). Most of the hotels downtown philly charge between 28 & 40 dollars additonal parking....which is absurd (but thats any city for you)....I decided to bid the Mt Laurel, Cherry hill area, thinking we would get the Crowne. But we got the Wyndham.

My first bid was for $65.00 and I won (probably could've gotten it a bit cheaper) the Wyndham. Cheapest rate I could find on the web(non refundable) was 107.50 + tax per night. SO the savings was significant.

The hotel is easy on easy off the New Jersey Turnpike. The property is definitely older, but our room was clean and the bed (king size) was very comfortable. The staff was also friendly. The airconditioner in our first room wasn't working very well, so we asked to be moved (they also comp'ed us the breakfest buffet for both nights, typically 12.95 per person per day (so 48+ value),as a courtesy) which was rather delicious. Fresh fruit, cereal, waffles, and omelettes are made, along with bacon, potatoes, and sausage. They also provide free wi-fi.

It was also an easy drive to downtown philly (between 15 and 20 minutes depending on traffic). We always found metered parking without much difficulty (and actually found a broken meter on saturday...we left our car there all day for free).

Total cost for the hotel for both days was

153 bucks (inculding taxes and fees)

Hope this helps someone.
