What is going on the weekend of 10/11-10/12 in Philly? The hotel rates seem to be through the roof even on Hotwire. Want to take the BF to Budakkan for dinner and stay overnight for his 40th. Any suggestions? Are there any decent and safe hotels just outside the City that are a reasonable cab ride, have a shuttle service to downtown or located somewhere near public transporation? Thanks.

That is Columbus Day weekend

What is your idea of ';through the roof';?

On hotwire I see a 3 and 1/2 * for $136 in Center City West

Would that fit the bill for you? I%26#39;m no hotwire expert but it seems at least reasonable.
