Priceline Hotel: 4* Park Hyatt Philadelphia At The Bellevue

[josie105]

I used Priceline via Ebay on 10/3/02 to purchase a hotel accomodation in Philadelphia for Friday night October 11, 2002. I requested a 4 Star or better hotel in the center city area only. Priceline then advised me I could either accept their super low price of $154.00 or make an offer of my own, with a minimum of a $73.00 minimum bid. Since I had previously visited several discount travel web sites which offered special weekend rates of $250 per night for Philadelphia luxury class hotels, I figured it was worth a shot to lowball my bid. I bid $75.00 AND GOT IT!!!! A night at the 4.5 star luxury Park Hyatt Philadelphia At The Bellevue for a mere $75.00. The regally appointed room was palatial in every sense of the word. With the money we saved, we enjoyed an exquisite dinner and "live music" dancing in the Founders Room, and capped our adventure off with a grand breakfast in bed the following morning. I highly recommend this hotel for a special occasion.

Point of clarification: If memory serves, at the time I was researching 4 to 5 star properties in Center City Philadelphia in early October 2002, Hotwire gave this hotel a 4.5 rating, while Priceline set the quality level at 4.
