Indeed, you can't fault it really. When it gets you a room in a decent hotel (usually room-only, mind, but who wants a hotel breakfast in a big city? - there's always somewhere else to eat nearby!) for B&B prices what's to grumble about?
It did once stick me in the Marriott Maida Vale, which is a very good hotel even if it is rather Kilburn ;), but that's the furthest from central London it's ever given me.
Other places it throws up on a regular basis are the Hilton Metropole, Hilton Islington (great location and rooms, hotel but screamingly awful decor outside your room!), Holiday Inn Regent's Park (charisma-free but comfy)... If you click down a notch to three-star it often gives you the Novotel Tower Bridge at truly silly (£35-40) rates, particularly at weekends as it's in the City.
