Thanks in advance to all that answer.

You're pushing the cost limit on a hotel in a decent and convenient area. London is very expensive.
We've had good luck with the Radisson Blu chain. There are two on Oxford St, one near Marble Arch and the other near Selfridge's. Both are convenient to the Underground and buses.
There is third at Covent Garden, which is part of the theater district.
In our experience, their hotels are very accommodating. For example, on our last trip, our flight from Atlanta was cancelled and we arrived a day late. The hotel did not charge for the night we missed, even though we had pre-paid.
My former law partner turned us on to the Blu's. He has been a frequent visitor to London over many years and has stayed at a wide range of hotels, both of quality and price. He considers the Blu's to be the best hotels for all of location, price, and quality.
All the Blu's are newly remodeled. The rooms are small, but have high quality furniture and appointments. Each has a restaurant. Their prices are kept low by having few extras-no gym, conference room, large lobby etc.
