AD Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Need a cheap but nice and clean hotel in Montreal for a weekend getaway, is Priceline still good or have other sites stolen their thunder? It's been over a year since I've booked anything through a website so I have no idea what's going on these days with discount / name-your-own-price hotels.Thanks!

jaybone Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Depends on the city, but we usually can find a good hotel in Toronto for under $100/night using Priceline.Not sure what MTL is like.Have fun. I miss that city. Edited March 3, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Priceline definitely works for MTL still. I go at least 4 times a year and could not not win even if I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobL Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 They are good for montreal. Not as good as hotels deals I have gotten in the US. But still great. Last year I got the Hyatt for 90 bucks all in. But that was in may. I just booked on this year for Tame Impala on saturday and got the Omni on Sherbrook for 101 plus taxes. 10 minute walk to my show. Can't complain their. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishtaper Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 ive sometimes found it better to book directly with the hotels themselves in montreal, just as cheap, choose the location, and a 24hr cancelation, if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobL Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 we should start a priceline bidding forum on here so we can let each other know how much we got certain hotels for. Especially for shows we all travel down for seperatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find for 4 star hotels priceline ussualy beats them by a lot. I always check after I win what the going rate was of that certain hotel. The omni i got for 101 is a bit cheaper. I just checked, last week it was much more expensive. now they have some sales onRoom 1 Adults: 1 Children: 0 Advance Purchase Promotion from $126.65 / night [ + ] [ - ] Book your reservation in advance and receive a 15% discount.

RobL Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Another thing i try is going to look what the offer is at hotwire.com. they are ussualy bang on or try to beat them by a couple dollars. so gives you an idea what to bid and you can check with the possible hotels you are interested in if any of them can beat that amount hotwire has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
