[lowball] the umi and the hoxton urban lodge

2.15.2009 | Here’s a CNN piece about how two London hotels, the Umi and Hoxton Urban Lodge, are wooing customers with genuinely lowball specials. The Hoxton Lodge’s 10 specially priced rooms a night, five for $1.50, another 5 for $40, sold out in 13 minutes. Over 60,000 clicksters were trying to get these rates. Wowsie. I’ll drink a highball to that.
