    Booked Sonesta. I will do my best to walk to the venue and find free parking. I'm a New Yorker, so if anyone can do this, its me! :lol:

    Thanks for your help everyone, especially marcos. Good luck OP!

    Awesome, I'll check that one out!

    Yes thanks for everyone's help!!


    I have a text out to a bud when we stayed in Philly. I don't remember the name. It was great. We walked everywhere from there except the Spectrum shows. We needed to take a taxi for that.

    This is the joint. Nice place. We walked all over the 2 days we were there. Don't make a ruckus in the lobby or they stare at you. :fp:

    Looks pretty good. About 60 more bucks than I paid for a hotel nearby.

    if you dont mind the short ride across the bridge, there are plenty of CHEAP hotels in south jersey. the ride can be an easy 10 minutes for you, and you can save yourself a few bucks by not staying in Phila proper.

    Not in my opinion, and that is why I chose another hotel. But marcos said it should be easy to get a cab from there and back.

    I'm sure we'll figure it out, I looked at the Sonesta too but I couldn't pull the trigger on the price!

    Yea it was like 50 bucks more than the Comfort Inn, but I figured I would say a few bucks by not taking a cab.

    It's not walking distance but very easy to catch a cab public transportation there and back. It's a couple blocks from the Old City area which is where I live.

    I'll be doing public transportation or cab riding back to Old City for the Wishlist after party thing. I'll share all the info I get on public transportation like bus schedules and such once they announce the day. And if you want more info on Old City and the area, PM me I'll get you all the good stuff. They opened an awesome beer garden this summer right next door to your hotel.
