Hotwire Hotel: ID help London Westminster 4* 6/8-6/14

[DarkKnight1680]

Looking to book a hotel in the Westminster Zone of London from June 8-14. 4* states:

Amenities:

Free Internet, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center

I think this could be the Park Plaza Riverbank, but I';m hoping an expert here will know better/for sure-ish.

Anyone got any ideas? Current price is $183

Welcome to betterBidding :)

I think there may be more amenities associated with this property. If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the SHOW ME button next to this offer (the one with the price in it), then on the next page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, do you see more than what you've posted above?

I'm sorry to say that a 4* property with this amenitie combo has not yet been reported/ID'd to the board.

I'm not sure but a guess would be Park Plaza Victoria.

Please use the board's HOTWIRE link, and let us know how it goes or if you need any additional help with your stay.

Hi Yellowdog,

I'm finding a better rate through Expedia Unpublished now. Amenities look very similar. Any chance you can hazard a guess/guesses for this one? Same time frame and stars and area.

Amenities listed by Expedia Unpublished are:

Free Internet

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Accessible path of travel

In-room accessibility

Accessible bathroom

Handicapped parking

My understanding is that Expedia owns hotwire, and their areas etc seem identical. Is it possible their databases are also identical?

Lastly, is there a BetterBidding Expedia link to use?

Thanks Again!

Expedia discounted listings are powered by HOTWIRE, and this would appear to be the same listing as showing on HOTWIRE.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE, PRICELINE or Expedia links to start your purchases and searches.

Unfortunately while I was waiting, the price has jumped significantly. Oddly the hotel is still the same, and the per-night room price is still similar (about 10$ more), but the taxes and fees moved from 43 a night to over 90 per night?

Any idea why the taxes/fees would jump so much for seemingly the same hotel (going by the amenities) even though the room price doesn't really change?

Did you by chance change the occupancy per room as sometimes HOTWIRE will include an additional guest fee in the 'fees and taxes' section of their site.

Have you tried searching a sub-set of your dates to see if the fees/taxes also jump when searching for only part of your stay?
