athtrasna Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Booking a room for my sister and her boyfriend for the weekend of July 14-16.So far have failed at $80, $82, $85 and $89. Was hoping to get the Thistle Marble Arch for around $85 as others on here have - no luck so far.Want to hopefully come in at under $100 a night to allow for PL fees and taxes to total around Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 When was the time of your last failed bids?If in the last 48 hours, there's not much else you can do other than increase towards your maximum.For your next four bids i'd just continue with $92, $95, $98, $100.Good Luck and keep us updated. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
athtrasna Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Failed tonight at $92 and $95..... Link to comment
athtrasna Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Have since failed at $98, $100, $102 and $105 :) Ideally they want to be as central as possible without having to use the tube (claustrophobia). Will try up to $110 and then convince them to try a bit further out. Link to comment
lwitchel Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Checking inventory in HOTWIRE as a clue to what might be at Priceline, rates seem high in the central zones and even outside. $110 may not do it. Link to comment
athtrasna Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Failed up to $120, even after adding Westminster and Regents Park/Baker St.Ended up booking a secret hotel on www.lastminute.com - got the 4* Holiday Inn Regents Park for Link to comment
TBoxMemphis Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm trying to book that hotel, and that's a fantastic price. What was the lastminute.com description, if you don't mind? Thanks in advance! Link to comment
lookup Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 it seems hotel prices have really gone up in London! I spent a week bidding ever day for Mayfair /Marble Arch London at to $200 and no counter or accepted offers - good luck! I ended up travelling to Manchester - but I think Wimbleton was the thing that was driving prices up for that week ... Link to comment
