Your price range is totally not going to happen in Philadelphia, especially on weekdays. Even the lower priced hotels out by the airport are in the $80-$90 range.And the University City area is one of the more expensive areas of town.You re going to see if you can luck out and get Priceline to accept a rate that low. It s been known to happen on rare occasions.
there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
You could try Priceline or Hotwire.com. That sounds like an awfully low rate for anything in a city, so you d probably have to use one of those sites or something similar. You can go to TripAdvisor.com for a list of hotels and comments from past guests, which can help you make a decision.
