Im Staying at Loews in City Center. A local in the forum recommended it. Check out "Philly Roll Call 2016" early on after people got tickets. http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/248968/philly-2016-roll-call/p7

Loews is a great hotel that convenient to the Broad Street line...really anything near city hall is perfect to catch the train to the show

I'm staying there and the rooms are about $100 more a night then when I booked. When i hear a pretty solid rumor i fly with it. As long as there is no cx fee! But keep a look out. The prices change a lot and they may go down.

I don't need a hotel for Philly I'm a local, I need one for nyc.

I just realize the shows are during Spring break, that means I can bring my family over and spend a couple of days in Philly before getting back to NYC.

Problem is... I waiting too long and hotel prices are through the roof. Same with Airbnb. Any ideas?

Thx

I booked holiday inn after I won the lottery for night 2 but before the public on sale. Booked thurs and Friday for like 500 total, not cheap but figured they'd Jack it up even more later which they did. A few days ago it was like 750 for the two nights. There was no cancellation fee so figured it was worth it, even if I ended up not being able to get tickets for night 1, I could cancel Thursday night. Luckily I was able to get a pair for night 1 at public on sale.

Thank you all.

We stayed at the Radisson Warwick in '09 for the Spectrum shows and again in '13.

We have a 2 month old now, things are different (financially speaking). Back then I think we paid less than $150 per night (Spectrum was $129 iirc, 10c special).

At this point I can't justify spending $500+ for two nights. The alternative would be to stay a little outside of the downtown area but with a newborn that's calling for a disaster...

I'll just commute from NYC and introduce little Liam to cheesesteaks at some other time.

Thanks again for all the input.

I booked Holiday Inn a long time ago and it was still $473 (tax inc.) for 2 nights. Figure I'm saving on parking each night and any travel from other hotels so I was good with it. Walking distance for the 2 shows to me is gold.

I'm staying at the Penn's View Hotel. Got it for about $160 before the tour was announced. It looks like a decent place. 5 miles to the show and will probably just drive so I can hit up some tailgating.

And it's walking distance to Sonny's for a cheese steak!

ricardofurriel

No rooms available at the Penn's View. It's ok. Thanks all

In 2013 I stayed at the Penrose Hotel - I think it was called the Skyview then. Not the greatest place but I walked to the shows and met a few fans there. It looks like it has availability.

I don't think so. It says on my reservation parking is included. You have to be on some list or something,,,,
what I mean is there is free parking for 1 car for each room. Your name has to be on hotel check in roster.

Hmm I booked through Expedia never asked me anything about it. For $550 for two nights I'd hope that would include the right to park in front of the building.

I stayed at the Alexander Inn last time around, and it was convenient public transportation to everything. I have only been there once, but would likely do the same next time around depending on the venue.

If you look under Amenities it says free parking.

I won't be paying for it. There was no fee when we reserved.

I see when you go to book holiday inn now using their site they have a free parking advanced purchase option for like $3 dollars more than the regular rate. Not sure how you can purchase free parking for $3 but that's what it says. I've read that they do charge for parking on nights of events for people that are staying there even. How that works with when I booked it, I'm not sure. Perhaps I will call them.

Sprunkn7

Calling sounds like a good idea. I was under the impression I had free parking. And they encourage tailgating. Will even pick up your garbage for you. I read that on a review for the hotel.

Just check their website says 1 complimentary parking spot per room until 11am check out. Guest must pay for any additional spots ranging from 10-$50 per spot. oh well looks like my friends that are coming one night each will have to pay, sucks for them.

Thanks- I only need one spot

Anyone with extra cars drive down the block towards the Chickies and petes south philly and park on the streets. It's A two second drive and a 10 minute walk to stadium. But don't park in Chickies parking lot your shit will be towed. Safe neighborhood, free parking
I park in this area myself when I go to games sometimes and walk it's very easy and saves you 20+ bucks
