theory12 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 I so overpaid for this zone!!!! :) My biggest mistake was not being able to get 4* in preferred areas first and bidding to $125 (Bridge-City, Soho mayfair, etc) then selecting this one AFTER those other 4* zones. So remember that Kensington should be cheaper and for this time of year in winter, I THINK I could have gotten it for under $100 , maybe even $80 and saved myself a total of >$100 -$150 for the stay. Direct booking at $165. Apparently this is the hotel you always get for Kensington and has questionable reviews of this being 4* quality. Oh well, London is fun and known to be expensive, with small hotel rooms.

thereuare Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 As i'm sure you know, but for others following along, if you need to add a 'low priced zone' later in your bidding, you can "uncheck" the previous zones bid by closing the browser, re-access priceline however you did previously, and then only selecting the zones you need to make the next bid (duplicate bid rules still apply, so you do need to change something from your previous bidding attempts)Based upon your posts today, you definately 'won' more than you 'lost' for this trip :)Thanks again for sharing... have a great trip.

OSUBUCKEYES Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 At least you didnt end up with the Hilton Olympia. If I ever get that hotel again I am throwing my computer out the window. I will never bid in the zone which contains that hotel. I hated that hole.
