I stayed at the Kensington Close in February. It was o.k. - good location (very close to the Tube) and I had no complaints about it except the restaurant was lousy. I did not though, expect luxury, and I think it's true - you get much more for your money in the US. I would stay there again.

Someone just won a bid on priceline for the Kingway Hall for $85/night for December. I think that's an excellent price. See the message from Tom this morning http://p070.ezboard.com/fpricelinean...abiddingfrm215

I was going to stick with Kensington area for my stay, now I'm interested in Mayfair because of this hotel and the good reviews... sigh...too many decisions.
