Hotwire Hotel: Last Minute London -4* Bloomsbury/Marble Arch

[mac118]

I'd like to check on the below hotel in London for some last minute lodging. I'll be in London from 12/26-12/31 and Hotwire currently lists the hotel at $89 in the Bloomsbury/Marble Arch zone. The amenities are restaurant, business center and high speed internet and the hotel has a 75% recommendation. After searching the vacation packages, I'm come to the conclusion that it's not either of the Radisson's as they're sold out. I'm really hoping for the Melia White House which has an 84% recommendation. I realize that it could also be the Holiday Inn King's Cross (which I would be not as thrilled to get), but it has a 66% recommendation. Since the recommendation doesn't match, is there another option? Would they ever round down to throw people off (Melia?). I'd imagine they wouldn't round up...

Thank you for your help.

For the property above, note that that percent recommendations shown by HOTWIRE are proprietary to HOTWIRE and not any other service (nor the HOTWIRE vacation product which is actually powered by Expedia) and therefore you can't use this information to identify hotels based upon the percent recommendation shown at another service.

All the properties you're guessing above have previously been seen with a Fitness icon, which is not showing on your current HOTWIRE search. It's possible that one of the hotels you mention above is this property and its 'hiding' the Fitness icon (as some hotels use a multitude of icons or have one particular icon which comes/goes) but my guess is that this may be the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury upgraded to the 4* level since it was last reported to the board (the Holiday Inn Regents Park would be a further back secondary guess as well, same circumstances of upgraded since last reported to the board)

Since this an extended stay you could see if this same property is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to "look behind the curtain". If you're happy with the results purchase the remaining nites, if not, make alternate plans for the balance of your stay.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
