adamt Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 I'm headed to London in a few weeks and I am looking for advice on what prices to bid for both 4* and 5* hotels in the Mayfair/Soho, Kensington/Earls Court, or Marble Arch area. If one of those three areas is better than another for a good deal let me know as I'm looking for the best deal in any of those locations. I saw a post for someone going around that same time that got a very good deal for the Marriott in Marble Arch. What are the odds that I could get the same?Again the dates I will be staying are 3-3 till the 3-7.
thereuare Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Are you willing to pay more for a 5* vs. a 4* OR is your goal the least expensive 4* or better in any of these zones? If you're willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel, what is your maximum bid at the 5* level and what is your maximum bid at the 4* level?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

adamt Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Posted February 16, 2011 Really my goal is to get the least expensive 4* or better in the mentioned areas. I'd like to spend between 100-125 per night. (or less but I'm guessing that isn't likely)
thereuare Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 At the 4* level in London you have TWO re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Mayfair-Soho...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Kensington...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Marble Arch...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Mayfair-Soho and Kensington...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Mayfair-Soho and Marble Arch...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Mayfair-Soho and Kensington and Marble Arch...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

adamt Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Posted February 16, 2011 I ended up at the Holiday Inn Kensington Forum for $100. I'm pretty happy with the results. I stayed at this hotel about 8 years ago and remember it being pretty nice. Hopefully it still is. Thank you for your help.
