ollie Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 If you're looking to book a hotel I highly recommend Priceline. There have been about a million threads on it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah I've used Priceline before, I was just wondering if there were any personal recommendations...hostels too, whatever you got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I wouldn't mind a couple of suggestions too. I'm coming in for a surprise wedding reception on April 19th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Minto suites is a really nice place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakis Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Honestly priceline. You can get a room at a nice hotel (marriot) for 50-60 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ok so perhaps Priceline IS the ticket.What do you guys think, if I book one room, and the fine print clearly stipulates that each room accomodates two adults, will the hotel take exception to us cramming four musicians in there?We're hardly adults after all...

AD Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 if you're worried about the occupancy, just don't have everyone standing around at the check-in desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I don't see it being a problem at all, as long as you don't all check in together as AD suggested. Just don't bring a lot of attention to yourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 OK, so I'm looking at the invite to the reception we're going to in April and it's just outside of Ottawa. It's taking place in Rockland (wonderland? ). I've looked it up briefly on the maps and it looks like it's about 30mins outside of downtown Ottawa right? Anyone got any suggestions on places to stay out there (to stumble back to after the party)? I'm sure it would be a $40 cab ride each way if we were to stay in Ottawa TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 rockland is much more than $40 for cab fare. book a place near there. i would help you pinpoint a place but right now i'm amazed that i can type, let alone book you a room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 There's not much in Rockland...maybe a few Inns...Is there even a hotel in Orleans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 For priceline bookings, I always just call the hotel the morning of arrival and request two double beds claiming a change of travel plans and they always give it up. Once I got bumped into a swanky suite for my troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) I ended up grabbing a room at the Marriot on Kent St. Snagged for $65 not bad Hopefully we'll have time to chill and go for a walk before getting ready to go to the wedding reception. Hey, it's not that small a world, but does anyone here know Glenn Tucker or Andrai DesOrmeaux? It's his wedding gig that i'm hitting. Can't wait, should be a PARTY He's an Ottawa guy (moved away some time ago) but has many friends/family there still. One of you skanks prob knows him (he's 37) or her (she's around 29ish). Now, gotta pick out some tunes for the ride. Edited April 19, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
