Langham Place Hotel Mongkok 555 Shanghai Street Mongkok Hong Kong, Hong Kong 852 3552 3388 Central Kowloon Check-In Date: Saturday, November 4, 2006 Check-Out Date: Sunday, November 5, 2006 Your Offer Price: US$142.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: US$142.00 Taxes & Service Fees: US$27.74 Total Charges: US$169.74 Very difficult to find anything decent for this last minute bid. WHK 5* rejected up to $220 (JW Marriott rate $383) TST 5* rejected up to $200 (Sheraton rate $280) All areas 4* rejected up to $85 (Not that high rates at Kowloon Hotel, Eaton, Cosmopolitan) All areas 3* rejected up to $60 (Novotel Century Harbourview $69 prepaid rate) I started this bid with $140 and got a counteroffer to add $22. Added the WHK+ TST, $1 each time and got this. Looks like a very nice place, lowest I found was about HKD 1750 with taxes so savings of HKD 500. I strongly suspect many HKG hotels simply don't give last minute PL availability - have had this problem before too. I got a very interesting message on Priceline HK when bidding USD 230 for WHK:
