hopeland Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 Just picked up this win.As always, used BiddingHelper.com.com to bid and book.* Tried bidding up to $150 for a 5* in Mayfair/Soho, Westminster, City and London Bridge with no success.* Then tried up to $150 for a 4* in Mayfair/Soho and Westminster. No success.* Began bidding for 4* City and London Bridge and Chelsea/Knightbridge at $110.* Bid accepted at $120 with no counter-offers.Looks like a reasonably nice hotel very close to a tube station. Should be pretty convenient for getting back and forth to Heathrow.

vanpoodle Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 That sounds about right, it is a good alternative when getting priced out of the more expensive zones! Very smart, once bids up to $150 are getting rejected in the other more desirable zones, you were wise to start bidding lower for this zone.Just check the bed as soon as you get to the room to make sure it is in decent condition, they seem to try to extend the life of the mattresses a bit too much and I've had trouble in two different rooms I've been in there.

The hotel is nice and near the tube station, however, to Heathrow you have to change at Earls Court. The first time we also had problems with 2 rooms, but we got than an OK room. We booked with PRICELINE .... but the hotel charged us on Amexco...Amexco is working on this that we get the money back.
hopeland Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Posted May 29, 2012 Thank you both for the helpful advice. Looks like it is about 45 minutes on the tube to Heathrow, changing at Earl's Court.
