Hotel deal with free parking

Hi,
I'm flying into Philadelphia this weekend, Saturday, and need a hotel for one night at the airport. I'll have a rental car, so I'd prefer free parking. Any ideas on what I might get through Hotwire or Priceline? Thanks.

Check www.biddingfortravel.com. It will give you an idea what hotel you will get if you bid.

Bidding for Travel usually has good priceline data, but check www.betterbidding.com for hotwire help. They have priceline info also, so you can check and see if they have something BFT doesn't.

Thinking strategically, what you really want is the best total price for room + parking. It's possible that a really good rate on a room (eg, via PL) would make it worthwhile to pay for parking. Also, being at the airport, you could even consider turning the car in and re-renting it.

Please double check what I'm going to say, because my information is old, but many years ago I stayed at one of the airport hotels, and the parking was free, unlike staying in Center City. Don't know if this is still the case, but I'd suggest you call directly and verify.

Thanks for all the referrals. I spent some time last night looking at both websites. Finally, I booked a room through Hotwire. Got 4 Points Sheraton, and parking is only $5.00 for the night. Not bad.
