Hotwire Hotel: Hotwire hotel ID LHR

[InMotion]

Could you please help me ID this 4* HOTWIRE hotel at London Heathrow, 6/17-6/18, at $69 per room per night (I need to book 2 rooms)

Facilities: shuttle, fitness center, restaurant, business center, near golf course

Also, am a novice, and am just learning from this forum. I tried bidding for this specification on PRICELINE at $55 but had my bid declined, with a message that I had a one time opportunity to rebid if I was willing to increase my bid by $15. Does that look like around $70 is the best going rate for a Heathrow airport on this date for either priceline or hotwire?

That appears to be the Sheraton Skyline.

The rebid offer just means you are close. I never accept them except for same day offers with no rebid possibility. This far in advance you have no need with 2 bids a day with the Luton rebid zone.

You should be able to win on PRICELINE for around $61 or $62 right now. It may be the Sheraton Skyline or one of the 5 others that tend to come up. When the Crown Plaza is available it tends to come up for around $44.

With the fees and taxes you would save around $14 using PRICELINE over HOTWIRE.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Can you double check your search result. I can't get the same hotel to appear. How many rooms/adults/children did you search for?

still coming up Sheraton Skyline at $69 for 2 rooms on the 17th of June for me.... they left off WIFI feature for 6 total features and matches the list then.

I searched for 2 rooms for 3 adults and 1 child. That is still the only HOTWIRE option that comes up for Heathrow :)

Given PRICELINE's counter-offer of $70 you can almost certainly beat the HOTWIRE rate of $69... are you looking for the least expensive 4* or better hotel for this nite OR are you looking to target/take an educated guess as to the property you may likely receive before your purchase?

I am looking for any good quality 4* accommodation as long as it is near the airport. I have a backup booking that can be cancelled at 24 hr notice. One question I had was whether I should try to go for the priceline option now, and secure something at around $60 per night, or wait a while? Am I at a disadvantage or advantage as I get closer to the date I need the hotel--or does it not matter?

Are you comfortable with receiving a hotel anywhere within PRICELINE's boundaries of the Heathrow Airport zone?

See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ. (also take into consideration how much of a savings this is relative to hotel direct rates and in an ideal situation how much lower would you consider a 4* hotel in this zone to sell for?)
