Ah, I clearly hadn't spotted that in the interface, nor realized that's
what you meant by your “one word”.

Ah, yes. That will give a 4-star hotel for $125 a night (what a bid of
$100 became once mysterious taxes and fees were added on).

True, though the areas are fairly large (12 areas cover all of London),
and you don't know at the time of booking which hotel you're getting —
which means you can't do things like check they can provide a cot before
paying and committing, let alone see how far they are from the nearest
Tube station (or which line they're on), look for guest reviews, and so
on.

We wouldn't've risked that for our trip, but I can see it being useful
for some.
