My main fear was getting a hotel in Euston or Kings Cross, which in my view are not particularly pleasant areas, so would have been happy with any hotel in the Marble Arch area. Have seen mixed reviews for this hotel on Tripadvisor.com, but really - how bad can a 4* hotel be at this price.....?

Thanks again to everyone who has posted on this forum.

Congratulations on your win.

Glad it worked out well for you from the standpoint that you were able to avoid the areas you didn't want. This looks to be an incredible deal... direct rates are $250+/nite?

Don't forget to put yourself in that group of "everyone who has posted on this forum"... so thank you as well :)

Enjoy your stay.

dang .. it was $250 US (140.00 GBP) on their website .. that's a steal and a half and it was rated high on tripadvisor.com. And you are walking distance from the Tube (Marble Arch station on the Central Line). It would have to be one horrid room to make that $60 bid look bad! :)
