flyme2 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I hate to be a wet blanket, but AsiaRooms has this property for $53 USD (single occ) or $59 (dbl occ) including all taxes, s/c's and breakfast. Your average cost per night is $51.04 USD, so breakfast is the deal breaker here. This just reinforces my belief that PL is not great in Asia for 2*, 3* and sometimes even 4* properties, where consolidators rule. PL, however, just blows away the competition for 5*'s.

southbay Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I agree 100%. 4* you better off checking consolidators,first.As far as 5*, 98% PRLN is your best Bet. Link to comment
hclee Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I hate to be a wet blanket too. But just noticed from this website (http://www.hoteltw.com/hotel.php?id=10828) that you can get a room at HK$370 with BF. This works out to about US$48 nett a night, which is cheaper (than PL) with taxes thrown in.PL does not seem to work fine for TP hotels. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 ... but the rates at the above site (which is in a non-english language so i don't recommend visiting unless you want to download another language pack to your computer) are from March-December, so the rates may not have been available for this stay as it took place in February.
