Finding hotel deals - Suggestions?

HOLY CARP!!!
I need to book a hotel in Philadelphia for two weeks in July (probably July 16-28), preferably near U Penn.

Using my standard booking channels, I can barely find a room for less than $200 per night, which would sum up to a quite significant sum.

Any ideas on how to find cheaper options?

Vrbo will at least get you a better option, probably cheaper too. I've used it successfully in five different countries.

By the way, we need to catch up while you're here. Maybe we can go bug Rich and play his pianos. Or guilt IT and MS into hosting a party.

That would be terrific. I'm already in touch with IT about a meeting, but a party would of course be even better :-)

Will you usually get a proper invoice for such stays? Of course I'm not so insane to pay this from my own money, so I need proper paperwork ;)

I have used this in Florida to get good deals. It looks like there are plenty of deals under $200 in Phila.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Booked a studio via VRBO. No reviews yet. I hope I'm not making a mistake. But thanks for the suggestion!

Here's what I got on the site for my stay last weekend in Montreal:

Sure. They have this stuff down cold for business travelers. It is really great.
