Priceline Hotel: 4* London (Mayfair-Soho) Sheraton Park Lane

[traveljunkie]

Hello,

I'm not totally thrilled with this hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews but the location looks great. The hotel's website has a total with taxes as $1,248.61 prepay rate.

Just an FYI, I started bidding for 5 * Mayfair-Soho & Westminster and went up to $215 and never received a counter-offer

Bid on 4* starting at $105 and used many rebids since 6/11/11

Thanks to your Entertainment Book posting on this board, I used the $20/3 night bonus on PRICELINE.

there's alot in between but this is the final thing that happened today for Soho-Mayfair & Westminster as the target:

bid 4* at $145 (+$6.67 per night bonus added) = $151.67 REJECTED but offered a counter of $185 (the first one I received in all the bidding)

bid $155 (+$6.67 bonus) = $161.67

Received the above hotel and this is my PRICELINE breakdown for 3 nights.

Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $155.00 (USD)

Room Subtotal: $465.00 (USD)

Taxes and Fees: $109.32 (USD)

Total Room Cost: $574.32 (USD)

Used your PRICELINE link--thanks for this board!!!!

Congratulations on your success!

Reviews are important, but sometimes when receiving a deeply discounted rate you also need to put them in perspective. For those paying the full rate you quoted above, they probably expect a LOT, and it's possible the hotel falls short... but at half the price it might be a fantastic value. I've had stays where i've thought it was a great deal on a PRICELINE rate and would look forward to returning, but if paying full price i would have had different feelings about the hotel.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
