This could be either the Crowne Plaza or the Club Quarters, but I would lean more towards the CP.

You were right!!

Crowne Plaza for $69.00/night.

Amenities = Fitness, pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Laundry

Total w/those pesky "fees" = $164.56

I checked their website for a "regular ressie" which would have been $310.49.

Will be fun to be a tourist in our own city!! Thanks again for the help.

Got back a few days ago. I LOVED this hotel. We walked all over - so true about "knowing" more about where you are/what you're doing when you're on foot. The shops, people, Comcast lobby, City Hall, Ben Franklin Pkwy, Art Museum, Eastern State Pen. - everything was just - for lack of a better word - fun. The people working in all the stores, etc. were so kind.

As for the hotel - the room was large with 2 queen beds, a chair/ottoman, desk w/free internet, POOL on the 8th floor (we were in rm. 808, the pool was right around the corner, but we didn't go in - out & about all day), large TV. The only minor complaint I would have was the small bathroom. Seriously, you could barely close the door if you were sitting on the toilet and not hit your knees. Coffee pot w/coffee & tea was provided.

Other than that - we had a fab time and intend on making our few day stay in Philly an annual "thing." I love the fact that Hotwire and Priceline allow this single parent to afford to take her son places that would not initially have been possible.

Thanks again for your help - next stop will be London in May or June 2010!! Guess I'll be talking to you then!!
