Find the missing link in this chain

Staten Island car rental travelers are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of available accommodations in Philadelphia. If you're a little leery of unfamiliar lodgings, don't worry - there are plenty of great national chains to choose from throughout the city. For budget travelers, All Car Staten Island Car Rental recommends checking in at a Best Western, Radisson or Holiday Inn. Moving up the latter you'll find Westins, Sheratons, Loews and Marriott's. And if money isn't an issue, look no further than the grand Park Hyatt at the Bellevue or the marble-columned Ritz Carlton.

A rate rundown

There are a few things to remember when shopping for hotel accommodations in the City of Brotherly Love. Firstly, all prices quoted are based on double occupancy (unless otherwise specified). You can assume that all rooms include a private bathroom and phone line, unless noted otherwise. Another important thing to keep in mind is taxes. All guestrooms are subject to a 14% tax, which includes a 7% state tax, a 6% surcharge and a county tax of 1%. On the other hand, listed rates are "rack rates" before any discounts or promotions. Staten Island car rental travelers should always enquire about specials when booking in order to take advantage of money saving opportunities.

Come for the night, enjoy a homemade breakfast

Want to make the most of your money on your upcoming Philadelphia road trip? Then why not choose to stay at a bed and breakfast? B&B's provide travelers with all the amenities of home, including a delicious homemade breakfast. For a wide-ranging listing, All Car Staten Island Car Rentals recommends checking out A Bed & Breakfast Connection/Bed & Breakfast of Philadelphia at www.bnbphiladelphia.com. This reservation service will connect you to more than 80 personally inspected B&B's in Philadelphia, Valley Forge and the Brandywine Valley. Bed and Breakfast rates start as low as $60 a night and can range up to $250 a night for separate luxury cottages.

Butt out

Staten Island car rental travelers can breathe easy when they visit Philadelphia thanks to a recently enacted citywide smoking ban. In the fall of 2006, Mayor John Street enacted the ban, with exceptions reserved only for a few neighbourhoods and cigar bars. This means that every single room in the City of Brotherly Love is smoke free - no exceptions. Still, if you're sensitive to smoke or have asthma, All Car Staten Island Car Rental recommends requesting a room that has always been designated as non-smoking, as cigarette smoke tends to leave traces behind on fabrics, even after they've been laundered.
