PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia’s hotel industry said Friday there’s still plenty of room at the inn for Pope Francis’ visit this month.

About 3,000 of the 11,200 rooms in the city’s downtown were still available two weeks away from the pontiff’s Sept. 26 arrival, said Ed Grose, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia Hotel Association.

Hotels were slashing rates, skipping minimum stay requirements and tossing in extras like subway tokens and bags full of Philadelphia-centric snacks to lure guests for the two-day visit.

“In some cases, it’s actually more affordable now than during a large, citywide convention,” Grose said. “It varies on what’s going on in the city, but I can assure you the rates I’m seeing now are very competitive.”

Four downtown hotels had rooms available for less than $300 per night as of Friday. Booking.com listed a room at the Marriott near City Hall for $195 per night.

Grose and Mayor Michael Nutter held a pep rally-style event in the lobby of a ritzy downtown Radisson to encourage people to stay at a hotel during the papal weekend. They were backed by about two-dozen hotel workers who held “Welcome Pope Francis” signs.
