TIS, I was only joking!! I would NEVER start that again!!

I just got off the phone with the other Hilton. They have a whole floor of smoking rooms. I spoke to the reservation desk, who quoted me $154 per night including full breakfast buffet per room, king bed or two queens. If we were going to have a group of 10 or more rooms, they could drop the price about another $15 per night. They are approximately 4 miles from downtown (not bad) and 5 or 6 miles from the Mosholu (I checked for you, DC!!!). The woman in group sales was VERY nice and said that she would assign a concierge to our group who would make all our reservations and plans for us. She is mailing me some additional information, but I wanted to let everyone know.

If Becky can find anything out, all the better!!! This sounds good to me, it's close to the airport, and we were going to have to cab to Penn's Landing anyway. It's also less expensive than the alternatives downtown, especially the parking.

What does everyone think???? And remember - Change is GOOD!!
