Philadelphia/DC hotels
Any suggestions for a Philadelphia hotel with reasonable rates? By
that I mean in the $150 and under range. Have found one place with decent reviews near Temple Univ. Too far north? Seems to be easy access to subway. Traveling with 14 yo, will be seeing historic sites...everything in Old City/City Center up in $200-300 range...will be there about June 25-28 - still firming up dates. Will be arriving via Amtrak from NYC, so can connect to most any hotel via public transport from the station. My last trip to Phil was 21 yrs ago, not as familiar as I am with DC layout. Looking for DC for 7 nights - thinking might be cheaper to book a place by the by the week - not opposed to staying out in Alexandria. Have been to DC before - Alexandria is a short metro hop to the Mall and surrounding area. Tentative dates June 14-21. I got NYC covered. |

Try looking at http://www.tripadvisor.com or put in a bid on http://www.priceline.com Philly Hotwire has a 3.5* City Centre West listed on thier site and for the dates 25th june to the 2nd july for $79 plus tax, doing some research it turns out to be the City Centre Sheraton. Has a pool, gym, etc Thye also have a 3.5* listed in Olde Town which is the Sheraton Society Hill. Same again, pool, gym etc DC 4* in Dupont Circle/Embassy Row is $179 a night, again pool, gym, etc this apears to be either the Palomar or the Omni 3* in Alexandria/Old Tow is $84 a night, pool, gym, tennis etc this apears to be the Crown plaza looks like the best deals are the Sheraton city centre for Philly and the Crown Plaza for DC hope the above helps |

we were there in the fall of 94...the grateful dead were staying
there.... for those who have been there, just picture jerry and bob in a room, overlooking the lobby and about 15 of us trying to get them to come down for beers...lol bob ended up coming down, hanging out and left instructions to have all our drinks put on the bands room tab....big mistake...deadheads can put it away!! I think they had to tour the next spring, despite jerrys poor health to pay for all the jager we pounded that nite.... |

They have an arrangement with the Sport and Health Club several blocks away, and there are several public outdoor courts across the street -- but they're an almost unplayable SportCourt grid surface. -- Larry |

There are two Holiday Inns in Philadelphia. One is on Walnet Street a few blocks from City Hall, and I think the other is in or close to Society Hill. Both are within walking distance of many sites that would interest tourists. The op might also find the web site http://www.gophilly.com interesting. |
