Cheap hotel in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh?
I'll be arriving in Philly on Tuesday and then eventually get to Pittsburgh. Does anyone here know of a decent hotel that is near public transportation for about $50-60/night? It doesn't have to be centrally located. I just need to be able to take the bus or the train to the center of the city.

If you are looking for something that cheap, your best bet is to try bidding on Priceline. I doubt you'd find any hotels worth staying in (unless you like crack heads and hustlers as neighbors) at that advertised price.
If you specify Center City (our name for downtown Philly) when you bid, then any hotel you get will be convenient to public transit.
Otherwise, this B&B has a good reputation and is in a good location:

Any suggestions for Pittsburgh? I'm hoping to get a heap place between 10th Street and Penn Avenue.
