marnie_g Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Won this hotel on my first bid. Hoping to get the Hilton.............A bit disappointed as it is bookable at a bit less on many hotel booking sites including booking.com, some rates included breakfast too! Its not where most of the 4 star hotels are around the Central train station. Its a bit out of the way and doesn't get great reviews and supposedly next to a building site with ongoing construction -and the advertised train to hotel shuttle is not offered anymore. All up it was $113US.I had a bit of a winge to PRICELINE about the price and location etc and they have offered to refund $35US back to me as well as a $50 holiday package voucher which I can't use by the 31st Dec 12. I thought the $35 will at least cover the transport to and from central station. Could have booked Hotel Berna, near the train and highly rated on Tripadvisor for much the same price.Arriving late so it will be OK for one night.Used PRICELINE Quickquote on this website.
