Hotwire Hotel: 4* London (The City-Financial) Crowne Plaza Shoreditch

[13Logan]

I'm planning a book hotel rooms in London. I'll be alone in my room, but I want to avoid getting a single room, which may have only one twin bed, be quite smaller, and perhaps even located in the worse part of the hotel.

Am I correct to think that on Hotwire, it would be better to bid for one room for two persons even though I'll be alone? (On Priceline, by contrast, I understand that a room can always accommodate at least two persons.) Must I provide the name of the ohter person in the room? (I've never bid on Hotwire before.)

Thank your for your advice and thoughts on this.

Yes, if you want to insure that your room will be large enough to accomodate two people, even though you'll only be one person, include two people on your search.

2 rooms from April 19 to April 26, 2009

(Note - I want to stay until April 29, but will have to make a second bid from the 26 to 29, hoping to get the same hotel.)

Amenities:

Fitness Center

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-speed Internet Access

Tripadvisor review = 4/5

I think this matches the Crowne Plaza Shoreditch

It does not seem I can edit my post - I forgot to insert "London" in the subject.

These amenities are common for a city hotel, but these amenities match the Crowne Plaza Shoreditch so that would be my best guess (slight chance the Hilton Islington but i see some things there that make me discount this as a possibility)

It was indeed the Crowne Plaza Shoreditch. I will create another post with the details. Thank you for your help.
