Airmarshall Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Free Internet Pet Friendly Fitness Center Restaurant (s) Business Center Internet Access Accessible for hearing impaired Accessible Path of Travel Accessible Parking Roll-in shower I booked through Better bidding HOTWIRE link. $244 total for two nights with taxes and fees. Hotel has certificate of excellence.
Airmarshall Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Posted January 22, 2015 Warning: This is the second win with Hotwire that is NOT in the area they advertise. First in Barcelona, and now London. Canary Wharf id not exactly Greenwich. I have sent them an email and am waiting reply. Not to say I'm unhappy with this pick based on reviews, I was expecting a Hilton or at least the Novatel in Canary Wharf.

Pay close attention as the area is across the river by miles from the Canary Wharf. I'm not unhappy, Hotwire has never let me down and the reviews are great, it is just not in the area I expected.
AaronJB Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Congrats on your success. :) Sorry to hear that the result is a disappointment. This property does appear to fall within the shaded zone area and has been reported to the board before (Hotwire Hotel List Other Countries), but hopefully based on your feedback they will reconsider zoning. Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches. Enjoy your stay.

Airmarshall Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 The first list of amenities is what I bid on. The second set is what appeared on my invoice. I would say it's an "or" situation. Also, correction: I did not receive the Novatel Excel - but the Novatel Greenwich. I did place my bid through this site.

Airmarshall Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Posted June 7, 2015 Follow up report: It was not a disappointment at all! In fact I gave it 5 stars. Out of London, but a quick 20 minute train with the train station being right at the hotel. Big room, low price for London, PLUS Greenwich is a fantastic area on it's own to explore. Bought an Oyster card and traveled all over London for 20 pounds. This hotel was quiet and comforting with excellent service.
AaronJB Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 While not what you were hoping for, glad to hear that the stay worked out so well. Thank you for the follow-up review.
