Hey guys --

I am lucky enough to be heading for Philadelphia (I live in SF) to see the Giants play later this month. We're going to be in Philly Friday through Monday and then we are driving to Baltimore and staying there until late Wednesday night (also going to an Orioles game on Tuesday night).

Basically I'm looking for some advice. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as hotels go in either place? We're looking for a nice place -- just not "Ritz Carlton" nice. Hotels.com/Priceline/and all those other sites offer some good deals and our budget is about $200 per night for the hotels. We don't care to be near Citizens Bank or Camden Yards per-say. We will have a rental car, so we'd rather be closer to nice restaurants, in a good safe, somewhat lively neighborhoods. We'll be doing the total "tourist" activities whenever we aren't at the park. Any further suggestions or recommendations aside from the hotel possibilities would be wonderful!

Any recommendations would be so helpful and much appreciated! Thanks a lot guys.

- Go GIANTS!
