Thank you for posting and passing along this win.

I'm not sure if you're commenting regarding the hotel received or the savings, but while we've certainly seen savings of better than 30%, i wouldn't call such a discount 'not worth it'.

Thanks again.

yes 30% sounds good but 85 EUR worth to accept no flexibilty, no breakfast for a hotel which is a bit out of town? Offial low season rate at Holiday Inn West are 65-75 EUR maybe with same conditions like NYOP....

for 85 eUR you get a good hotel room in city center in many non-opaque booking sites e.g. otel.com or yeegoo.com hotels with breakfast included.
