If it looks to good to be true then it is an easy way to part with your money. Might as well send it to me. To be serious though I have picked up some adverse reports via google but with broken links/ If it was me I would steer clear of them.

They are based in Phoenix and seem to have a stereotypical American's sense of geography! I just looked at Edinburgh and it came back with "Edinburgh, Scotland and nearby cities" - the 5th on the list was at Heathrow!! 6 and 7 were in Essex, 8-10 were in Hertfordshire. If your search for Edinburgh, England (their desricption not mine!) it gives a better selection. Oh dear - how many Americans have gone wrong here?

try http://www.expedia.co.uk - the first hotel I matched on both lists is currently around 50% dearer at reservetravel

I found this site from a meta search. At the time of posting Jury`s Inn was coming up at £43 a night. I wasn`t sure if this included tax as they seem to work on a stateside pricing system. Regarding the Edinburgh/England description I have heard Americans describe Scotland as part of England.
Anyway I wasn`t confident enough to book with them so I`m still looking.

According to their site at the moment, that hotel varies between $88 and $190 per night over the Easter weekend- to which they add about 18% tax and service fee! Maybe your search found an old cached result? Expedia show it at £59 - £127 per night with no add ons. Lastminute show it about £15 a night more.
