Welcome to BetterBidding :)

I believe there may have been more amenities than you listed in your post. HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process.

Please run a new search using our BiddingHelper.com tool at the top of this page. Once the search is completed, use the EASY VIEW TAB and click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing to view the complete set of amenities. Then copy and paste the amenities, as well as the price, in a reply to this thread and we will then have a look at this offer.

I have tried using the BiddingHelper.com however it is not working on my computer when I click the green button it is not responding and not showing me any more amenities. I have a MAC computer, is that the issue? I have allowed popups etc and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Ok i figured it out, apparently if I start sorting the lists of hotels the green button doesn't work anymore.

Looks like the filters on the left side of the page at BiddingHelper.com work fine and continue to allow the green button to work, but the sort links at the top of the page break the green full amenity button, as i am able to replicate this issue. Thanks for reporting this bug and we will have this fixed by next week.

My best guess for the property above would be the Waldorf Hilton.

Thanks for all the help, my only other question is with so much time before the trip, do prices for the same or similar hotels on Hotwire tend to get even cheaper as the date approaches and if so when would be the best time to buy?

[thereuare]

Best guess/comments are inline below:

4*

$157 USD

--> Park Plaza Riverbank London

4.5*

$202 USD

--> St. James Court would be my guess

5*

$271 USD

--> <no guess>

5*

$313 USD

--> Plaza on the River

...when would be the best time to buy?

Nobody can say if rates will come down, or move higher, between now and your stay. If you think the rates for any of the offers above are good a deal, or if one of the hotels guessed is one that you would like to target, then it can pay to lock it in now. Remember that besides rate risk, there is the risk that one of the offers above that you like, and has good reviews, disappears and is no longer offered in the future (or is replaced by a property with reviews that are not as favorable)

I made a buy and it's a winner. I went with the 5* Westminster area for 269 USD a night. It had a low price guarantee in the middle of the night!

Went with the instincts.

I got the Taj 51 Buckingham Gate. Sept 20-23 2014

I think it's now going for:

281.00

USD

per room per night*
