  1. This is an interesting topic that I imagine a few people are going to be affected by. I have 3 weeks of travel in England, in 5 star priceline hotels booked, starting next week. If my flight is also cancelled then I will also be thousands of dollars out of pocket, unless priceline offer refunds.
  2. People have had sucess in that area for as low as $128 during the time you are staying. I recommend starting in Mayfair for $128, then add Regents Park, then add Westminster (depending on your preference). After you have added your 5 star locations at $128, start increasing your re bids in $5 increments, until you either get to your limit or win. Seems $160 for Mayfair is a common price, although it really depends on the day and inventory. If you mostly want to stay in Mayfair, you can also use this tactic on Mayfair and don't add the other 5 star locations.
  3. The details are $89 (although really it is $132) and the date is 5/11/10. I believe the amenities are Breakfast, Internet, Restaurant and Spa. This is the Hotwire 3 1/2 description: These classic, polished hotels feature an excellent service level with quality amenities found at better hotels. They usually offer: ■A well-known, on-site restaurant ■Large, quality rooms ■Room service ■Health and fitness center ■Business administrative center Our 3.5-star hotel suppliers include Hilton, Millennium, Crown Plaza and other respected hotel brands. Below is the link to traveler’s pictures on TripAdvisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotos-...d.html#18457939 During this trip I am also staying at the Marriot Grosvenor House, Intercontinental Park Lane and Conrad (Dublin), having used Priceline successfully. The Holiday Villa is the last night of my visit, and 3 1/2 stars near Paddington looked great because it's easy to get on the Heathrow Express. The saying goes "too good to be true", and in this case it certainly looks that way. I'm trying to appeal because this is not a 3 1/2 star hotel, not even by Hotwires own description, and I think they have got this one wrong. Overall I have had a lot of luck with PRICELINE, and my Priceline rule is never bid less than 4 stars. Previously I thought HOTWIRE's lowest bid of 3 1/2 staff was equivalent to that.
  4. I just won this on HOTWIRE and thought I would register on Better Bidding and post to save others from making the same mistake. The hotel had not previously been listed on any winning bids on better bidding. The hotel was listed for $89 on HOTWIRE, although $44 dollars of charges actually takes it over $130, which is more than can be purchased on Orbitz (which can also be cancelled). Hotel has terrible reviews, and seems very run down from the user submitted pictures on Trip Advisor. I can't really see how this is listed for 3 1/2 stars and PRICELINE had better deals in this location, when you factor in the excessive charges that Hotwire add to the cost. I won't be staying here even if it means taking the cost, I stayed in the Copthorne Tara last year and it was not worth saving the extra money. Has anyone been sucessfull in getting money back from HOTWIRE?
