Latitudes Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Booked two rooms in Edinburgh for a Friday and Saturday night in June.Bidding History:4* City Centre - $76 - Rejected+ West City Centre - $80 - AcceptedMarriott Edinburgh111 Glasgow RoadEdinburgh, United Kingdom+44 (131) 334-9191Check-In Date: Fri, Jun 19, 2009 / After 02:00 PMCheck-Out Date: Sun, Jun 21, 2009 / 12:00 PMBeware!Priceline shows three zones for Edinburgh; City Centre, West City Centre, and Airport & Southwest.When I worked out my bidding strategy I had decided to stay in the city center and avoid the airport. However, I neglected to examine the maps closely and did not notice that 'West City Centre' includes part of the airport (as well as several industrial areas). The hotel I successfully bid is closer to the airport than it is to the city center. My mistake, and I'll have to live with it.So, beware when booking Priceline in Edinburgh not to choose 'West City Center' if you want to avoid the airport. Link to comment
