Sunnat21 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I've been bidding for a couple days...perhaps because of the weekend days. (Two zones currently don't have 4*'s so I used them for re-bids). At $130, it countered at $159...I put in $149 and it was accepted. Only a 3 1/2 out of 5 from trip advisor, but it's in the location I was hoping for. US$149.00Rooms: 1Nights: 3 Room Subtotal: US$447.00Taxes & Fees: US$101.25Total: US$548.25 Link to comment

vanpoodle Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 We stayed there last year. Great location, it's in an interesting neighbourhood and close to things. Hotel was fine. Average Holiday Inn, but really, nothing bad to say about it. I just wouldn't eat there because it's so expensive, the usual outrageous breakfast. Lots of other dining options nearby. The Tripadvisor reviews seemed a little unfair. We didn't spend much time in our room anyway, so much to see and do in London! Link to comment
Sunnat21 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I appreciate the information! It makes me feel better about the not-so-glorious reviews. We plan on being out and about most of the time, so I think it will be fine. The location does seem ideal to explore the area. It will be our first visit, so we're really looking forward to seeing the city! Thanks! Link to comment
vanpoodle Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Oh yeah, should have mentioned that they seem to get a lot of the tour bus trade from people living other parts of England. It's a fairly busy hotel, and nothing fancy. Elevators too small to deal with more than one person with luggage, the usual. From what I could tell, the manager (Byron something) is quite responsive if there are problems. So if something happens there that you don't like, he'll probably be pretty good about having it looked after. But our room was fine, it worked for us and for what we paid I couldn't complain. I kept getting lost trying to find it, the way it's tucked in was confusing. But walking distance to 2 different tube lines. Make sure to check out London Walks while you're there and Docklands Museum if you have time. Message me if you have any other questions! I love London and can't wait to get back there!
