I would have been ecstatic to receive this hotel on Priceline if it was just based on the hotel, the room was the nicest of the three 4* hotels that I stayed at on this trip that I won from Priceline. Due to the hideous exchange rate, I had to bid between $100 and $125 per night to get a hotel room this year, this hotel was $125 + tax (total $155). I arrived early in the morning and they had a room ready for me, the staff was pleasant and courteous.
But, and you know there's a but, it was the least convenient of all the hotels I stayed at, located about a 1/3 mile from the Kilburn Park tube station on the Bakerloo line. As I was walking from the tube in the morning I thought I wouldn't want to be walking from it late at night, fortunately there was a bus stop just across the street (stop KJ on the return) from the hotel, bus 98 went along Edgware Road to Oxford Street where I could connect with the tube at Edgware Road, Marble Arch, Oxford Circus, Holborn or Tottenham Court or bus 16 goes to Marble Arch or Edgware Road.
Between the hotel and the tube station there really wasn't much in terms of stores or restaurants except a very small Tesco Express, I think there might have been more past the Tesco but I didn't go that far.
Room-extremely comfortable king size bed with lots of pillows and a down comforter, the room was large and had everything one could need, an in room safe, a small refrigerator, tea service, iron, trouser press
Bathroom-very nicely decorated, toiletries included bath gel, shampoo and lotion. Shower had good water pressure and plenty of hot water
