Dates Dec 25th - Jan 1st

 

 

Hotel 1: 120$

Kensington - Shepherds Bush - Westfield London area 4.5 Stars
Free Internet, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, Spa Services

Hotel 2: 169$ (Old option is now gone, this is a new one)

And I am looking for 2 rooms during those dates...

Unfortunately neither of these properties have yet been reported to the board.

I don't have any insight for the 4.5* Kensington property and for the 4* Bloomsbury i'm not sure if i'm seeing the same hotel as the one i'm currently being offered when searching HOTWIRE for your dates (and 2rooms) only has Restaurant and Internet... no 'Smoke Free' amenity listed.

Since this an extended stay you could see if this same property is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to 'look behind the curtain'. If you're happy with the results purchase the remaining nites, if not, make alternate plans for the balance of your stay.

I will add that i am seeing what appears to be the well reviewed Hotel Indigo London Kensington - Earls Court for 12/25-12/31 at $141/nite, but you would then need to find a new hotel for the last nite of your stay (the one above is still offered at $125/nite for the solo nite of 12/31).

If SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID is an option... the original hotel and what i believe to be the Hotel Indigo are both offered for 12/25-12/31, so one option would be:

1) purchase the original hotel for the nite of 12/31 to 'look behind the curtain'

2a) if you're happy with the hotel received purchase the same property for 12/25-12/30 (by matching the amenities and any other information shown by HOTWIRE with the one you just purchased)

2b) if you're not happy with the hotel received, purchase the believed to be Indigo for 12/25-12/30

Your thoughts?
