Priceline Hotel: 3* Philadelphia (Downtown) Crown Plaza

[Bob Loblaw]

I am about to book a hotel in Philly for April 29th (1 night) and May 1st (1 night) and also a room in Atlantic City on April 30th for one night. This site has been helpful for me in figuring some things out......what is the link you talk about following?

[Bob Loblaw]

If I do the Philadelphia Airport-Stadium area at 2.5* would I be likely to get this hotel or are there others in this area at 2.5*? (It is the only I have seen)

Thanks in advance

[Bob Loblaw]

2.5*

these amenities match those of the Quality Hotel - Philadelphia Airport

is there any reason that you want to stay in the Airport stadium area? Are you attending an event?

[Bob Loblaw]

Yes, I've stayed at the Holiday Inn Stadium before and will be going to a baseball game, it's convenient.....however, not so much since they include the airport in the area.

Any tips on getting the Stadium hotel?

[dahammer]

the Phillies are not in town on 4/30 what are your dates of travel?

[Bob Loblaw]

Yes they are........I have Mets/Phillies tix for May 1st.

[Bob Loblaw]

Should actually read May 1st-May 2nd

We already have a downtown hotel for April 29 and we are going to AC on April 30.

Thanks

I was thinking of going to that game, but the Mets fans are a nasty bunch even when travelling, especially to Philly. Losing to the Phils in the past two years won't improve their disposition, but its a new year and hope springs eternal.

You can't possibly target the Holiday Inn, especially when there's a game, the hotel sells or is close to sell out. You're best bet is to get a room in the Center City zone and take the Broad Street Subway to the game, $2 each way. For example, if you stayed at the Warwick, you'd walk about 4 blocks to the Walnut Locust station and take it to the end and then walk a few blocks with all of the other Phillies fans to Citizens Bank Park. Its really a great way to go to a game, and you can come back to center city afterwards.

Yeah. You are probably right. Thank you. Was thinking about going to Cheerleaders after the game though. :) Could probably take a cab from there I suppose.

a fan of Ballet as well, nice :)

after the game, you can exit the stadium through a restaurant/bar called McFaddens for an after game libation, its a fun crowd.

you might also want to consider a hotel along the waterfront, there are a ton of bars and restaurants in the old city/penns landing area.

Sir I see you are familiar with the Philly area. We are going to the Army-Navy game Dec. 12. Could you be so kind to help with where to stay and get around (rent a car) or ??. The above McFaddens sound interesting.
