Priceline Hotel: 4* London (Bloomsbury-Marble Arch) Thistle Marble Arch

[TZMOM]

Good morning. Trip to London pick up son from study abroad semester.

Dates: 05/13/10 to 05/22/10

2 people, max bid $115/night

Preferences - 4* hotel:

1) Mayfair-Soho

2) Bloomsbury-Marble Arch

3) Westminster

We'll be going to Paris during this time frame as well. I currently have two separate, cancellable (is that a word?) ressies at a B&B across the street from St. Pancras. However, if I can get a "Priceline" room, I'm willing to "eat" the price of that room for 2 nights/3 days which will, most likely, equal the left luggage cost + aggro of dragging bags to left luggage at St. Pancras (after spending 5 mos. away, I expect my son will have at least 4 bags!)

I'm ready to make the reservations now. Obviously, I have loads of time, but if I can get a room for $90-$115/night that would be great.

Thank you for any help you can lend. I'll go through your link when I make the reservation.

Well, bummer - nothing today. The best I got was $126.00 with the Bloomsbury-Marble Arch pick. Will try again in the next few days and let you know.

Thanks again for the help - I'll keep you posted.

If you received a counter-offer of $126, at least you know you're not too far off the mark.

$1,035.00 + $185.85 taxes & fees

$1,220.85 total price

Thank you again for the help - I went through your PRICELINE link. Yippee!!!
