Hotwire Hotel: Help Ident: 4* Edinburgh Centre City

[RedmondFrank]

$109 "best value" for 4/22 thru 4/28/09

breakfast

restaurant

business ctr

golf

tennis

no hint via tripadvisor rating. trip advisor only lists four 4* properties... maybe that's based on availability?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Edinburgh; hopefully someone more familiar with the area and/or the site's hotel offerings will chime in.

This property has not yet been reported to the board, but i would think the following would all at least be possibilities:

Macdonald Marine Hotel And Spa

Macdonald Holyrood Hotel

The Ben Doran

Bonham

Tigerlily

Norton House Hotel and Spa

I will add that checking most of the hotels above for your dates at Expedia, rates are just about the same (some a tad lower, some a tad higher) than the $109/nite thru HOTWIRE, so if this offering is one of the above, the savings may not be that worthwhile vs. choosing the hotel.

Are you flexible in your needs for this stay... have you considered PRICELINE?

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

thanks for the guesses and the insight from Expedia. (now I notice their "30% off nights or more" offer which really does make rates competitive.

sometimes I get fixated on Hotwire "best value" and don't do enough homework.

not sure about PRICELINE for this but I'll certainly use your link if I do.

thanks again!

If you go with the Expedia sale note that we have links to Expedia as well :)

Status: There was an item in the Sunday NY Times recently about vacation rentals in Europe.

We went directly to Capital View apartments and booked a downtown studio there for 80 GBP.

But we'll use your links as often as possible... got New Orleans on the horizon around Memorial Day.

Thanks,

Frank
