Excellent point, and it proves how valuable the two forums that track Priceline bids can be. I remember looking at the airport zone in Paris a few years ago and reading about someone's $30 cab ride to a property that did not have a shuttle or access to transit.
As to LGW, I've done a number of stays at the Travelodge there, on the Hotel Hoppa line, with winter rates and have been happy there. I wasn't even aware there were Priceline properties in that zone that you would need to access by cab, so thanks for pointing that out.
