Yes, I've just found that. I had been putting off booking for the Olympics as the prices were so high and I'd been hoping that they would come down at the lastminute if rooms went unsold.
But... I've just checked and there are quite a few options available at ICHG hotels in London for 15,000 + $60 per night or 20,000 + $40 which is a lot more reasonable than I was expecting.

This week I managed to get a room at HI Oxford Circus during the middle weekend. So availability is still popping up, you just need to keep an eye out.
And beware of the 2 night minimum as well!

Just checked in at CP City on a points booking. Unlike some properties this is fully booked.
I was upgraded to a club room but sadly had to decline as I wanted a twin room. Upgrade would not have included the lounge as I understand though.
They are providing free wifi to plats in August.

3 weeks ago I booked the CP Docklands on points for my parents for the 6th August . Still pondering tactics ie - check in myself and then give parents the room or just tell reception the booking actually is for them with the slight risk they refuse to honour.
Oh yes - thoughts warmly welcome .

Stayed at Hotel Indigo London Tower Hill during the London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Weekend. Had an excellent stay on PriorityClub points. My review with pictures and video on my travel blog: http://travel.bart.la/2012/08/04/hot...olympic-games/
Thanks!
Thanks!

Wonder if our paths crossed. I did 8 nights there starting with Opening Night. I was in 501. I would have been in USA attire most of the time. I ended up using Tower Hill as my main access point as it was only a few mins longer walk than Aldgate and had both District and Circle lines.
