  • Just a suggestion but I'd be a bit careful about the neighborhoods and areas these hotels are located in as they change pretty rapidly . The best deals were still the $70 Radisson and any of the other 10C offers IMO and from what I know about Philly and the area. Find it hard to believe a 3.5 * hotel is still available in mid city for that rate now considering I looked at prices before the 3rd and 4th shows were even confirmed in mid July and $70 was the most reasonable. Maybe someone from Philly can help out with the locations on the places being tossed about for $60 a night.

    man i got robbed lol
    think i paid around $120 for one night at the philly airport marriot residence



    hahahahahahaha...thank you for making me - inadvertently - feel better.
    i was just going to post idk why i continually open this thread, to feel beat up that i did not score as great a deal or hotel as many others have. it's like a train wreck, i can't look away....can't stop myself from always looking in when someone posts in here so i can go...damnnit! :twisted: thankfully, your post made me feel better.;)


    sorry buddy, but thanks!
    :mrgreen:

    can you cancel your prior reservation or is it non refundable.


    nope....got it via priceline so it's non-refundable. hell, i already paid for it. tis my own fault for being nervous about scoring a hotel. i should've just kept at my price endlessly since there was plenty of time. and so it goes...
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    bummer.

    i'm a procrastinator. sometimes it's a good thing

    i'm still debating on how to get to philly (drive or fly). I probally won't decide until departure week. :lol: I'm hoping to get a $100 flight, where as right now they are running about $225. :lol:

    i'm a procrastinator for oh so many things, except travel. :P
    i may have to work on that.
    :lol:


    good luck with your arrangements!
    mine are all set really, driving down with a friend and splitting the hotel, tickets, etc.....so there's nothing else to plan.
    Stay with me...

    Then that's really great news indeed for you. This will also give you more to spend at the pre-parties. ;) Wherever you stay, I hope all of us travelling have a safe trip there and back. I can't believe it's so close now since seems like I've been planning forever!

    Just scored a room at the Aloft Philadelphia Airport Hotel for $64/night on Priceline. Seemed like a pretty good deal. Has anyone ever stayed there before?

    Counting down the days :D

    STay in Center City. there is nothing to do in the airport/stadium area. I'm telling you, trust me.
  • I'm partial to the Alexander Inn, and it's right next to the subway down to the show. Parking deck is right nearby, the drive into the center of town is surprisingly easy. Very nice part of town (beautiful district, much like Chelsea in NYC if you know what I mean), right next to a really great bar that serves dinner (vegan options) well past midnight!

    What are the Priceline prices for Tuesday-Thursday night at this point? Anybody scored a room lately? I'm at the Radisson for Friday and Saturday, but I think I'm going to be adding the first two shows to my itinerary!

    Bump.

    I need a room deal for three nights, starting Tuesday the 27th. Trying to keep the 3 nights at $230 total or lower. Any help is appreciated!

    BTW, it needs to be near public transportation that would be able to take me to the Spectrum and back!

    Hey gang,
    So... only a week away & someone just backed out of our hotel room! Meaning we now have one open bed spot, Fri-Sun at Holiday Inn (Stadium), walking distance to venue but the rails to downtown are right nearby. Ideal situation for anyone going solo to only the weekend shows. Will cost you about $40 per night, rooming with me, my hubby, & another chick. We have 1 room with 2 double beds (yes, you'd be sleeping with a stranger ;)) PM me if interested, & have ur references prepared 8-)!
    Thanks, Colleen

  • Booked the always outstanding Extended Stays America Airport yesterday for $45.00 per night, total $215 for four nights with taxes and everything. I figure for the roughly $400 I would save at this point I can drive to the venue, use transit to get downtown, drink like a fish and still come out even..... My wife is not in love with this though, she knows this means she will be handling the driving.

    I did splurge and get a VIP parking pass off of Ebay for $20.

    Just found out the person I was supposed to be staying with in the area isn't going to be in town. Being on a flight crew in the Navy sometimes has that problem. So now I am desperately looking for a hotel room. I also have as of this moment an extra ticket for 10/28 and 10/30.


    EDIT: The one for 10/30 has been claimed.

    Okay, so where did you get the $45 rate? Did you do it through Priceline?
  • Yes, I booked through priceline. I started at 3 star and got kicked back to 2 star ........ at this point it is whatever though, the world series has created a perfect storm.

    $45 a night for a two room suite isn't bad at all though. Don't be too bummed about that. Obviously there's no guarantee I'd get the same hotel if I were to bid now, but I may likely end up at the airport. I've been holding out to the very last minute on booking anything. I don't even have Tuesday or Wednesday tickets yet. May just be buying those outside the Spectrum.
