Priceline Hotel: 3* Philadelphia (Downtown) Courtyard

[dreinke]

My buddy came down from NY because we got last minute Phillies tix. Usually I would expect to get even a better rate, however this was the night of a UFC event at Wachovia. All the hotels seemed pretty full, and the city was buzzing.

I started at 4* trying to get the Hyatt Regency at Penn's Landing.

4* Downtown only - $71 rejected

Added University - $77 rejected

Added City Line - $81 rejeced

Added Gloucester - $87 rejected

Added Trevose - $93 rejected

Started Over with 3.5*

3.5* Downtown only - $67 rejected

Added City Line - $71 rejected

Added Glucester- $77 rejected

Added Trevose - $81 rejected

Started Over with 3*

3* Downtown only - $71 WINNER.

The hotel was in a GREAT location. Very convenient for going out and an entrance to the Broad street line is just around the corner; Perfect for events at the Sports Complex.

The room/hotel was much nicer than I anticipated for a Courtyard. Very comfortable beds, cold A/C, and great wait staff.

Parking is an issue as it is RIGHT downtown (faces City Hall); however I did find a self park lot a block away (between 13th and 14th on Arch) that is only $24/night compared to the $31 the hotel tries to charge ($41 for valet).

I may just have found a new favorite downtown Philly hotel.......
