During our online chat (most Mondays at 2 p.m.), you ask and we answer your travel questions -- mostly. Here's one we didn't get to last week.

I'm going to Philadelphia and am looking for an inexpensive (under $125 a night) place to stay.

When it comes to lodging, Philly is no New York. You can often spend less than $125 on decent digs. For example, the Alexander Inn (877-253-9466, http://www.alexanderinn.com), in the hub of City Center, has rates from $109 for singles and from $119 double. For something a little cozier, the Victorian Inn Between Bed and Breakfast (215-748-7757, http://www.bbonline.com/pa/innbetween; from $100) is in the collegiate area of University City, while the Thomas Bond House (800-845-2663, http://winston-salem-inn.com/philadelphia/index.htm; from $115) sits inside Independence National Historical Park.

For more options: Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, 800-537-7676, http://www.gophila.com.
