Priceline Hotel: 4* London (Kensington-Earls Court) Hilton Olympia

[lwitchel]

I did two separate identical bids, creeping up from $65. $71 was not accepted.

Interestingly, the hotel had either not loaded this rate for Thursday June 2 or Priceline had run out of inventory. I'm switching hotels for the next three days.

Did you get any counteroffers on these bids?

[lwitchel]

I'm sorry, WT, I didn't keep a record so I am going from memory, but I think my counter was about $91.

[WillTravel]

Thanks - I've also had a counter for $91 for my dates, so maybe it won't take as much as I feared.

Thank you for the new hotel to add to the list!

Enjoy your stay(s).

[lwitchel]

No problem, thereuare.

WT - try $72 as well as $73 if you have the time and patience. I think it may work.

Also, I think the counteroffer when I got the Millenium Gloucester at $84 was $99.

I am trying for June 7-9, the counteroffer in Mayfair is $151 (dollars to doughnuts that's the Sheraton Park Lane), in Bloomsbury is $119 and Kensington is $118. I'm wondering what the other two are and how high I'll have to go for those dates.
