Congrats on that price! They are undergoing a renovation in the main tower(I was there a month ago), so if you hear construction noise, asked to be moved right away. We waited till the last day, and when I complained, we were comped 100 worth of food in the hotel. The place is really nice, and the canal shoppes are like nothing I have ever seen. Have a blast, and wait till you see how "talented" the cocktail witresses are:)

Any advice on how I should split my stay up? Every 3 days or 5 & 4 etc. Thanks again, Fred

I went to Priceline today to try and bid on a hotel in the Mayfair/Soho in London. I will be in London from September 7th-16th. I started @ 110, then used the rebid technique that I learned from this wonderful forum 4 times. I had my bid up to $145(before taxes), and still nothing. Is it too early to bid for this? I have seen others land 5* hotels in this area for less than 145, and the dates were in the same month! Any advice or possible stratagy you can share? Thanks, Fred
