It's amazing how quickly options can come and go ... when I first started looking in mid December, I was considering two Kensington - Earls Court area properties ... 1 was a 4* Smoke Free; Fitness; Restaurant; Laundry; High-speed Internet Access (turned out to be the Nh Harrington Hall) and the other a 3 1/2* Fitness; Restaurant; Business Center; High-speed Internet Access (never identified). Both those disappeared and I then was looking at a 4* Westminster property (Fitness, Restaurant, Business Center, Hi-speed Internet, Spa - probably the Crowne Plaza St James) which was priced around $150/night that is now up to $193/night. My best Hotwire options now are a 4* Islington-Shoreditch-Bethnal Green area property (Restaurant, Business Center, Hi-speed Internet at $116 + VAT/fees -- probably the Hilton Islington?) or a 3* Kensington-Earls Court area property (Complimentary Breakfast, Hi-Speed Internet Access at $88 +VAT/fees -- probably the Holiday Inn Express at Earls Court?). Both are great rates .. both are 5+ minute walk to the nearest tube. By waiting, I'm sure things will change again .... maybe I can do better, then again, maybe not.
