  1. New city alert!

    My second cousin is going to Victoria. I did Orbitz to see what was available (LaQuinta was $61 there and on laq.com;other hotels ranged from $60-$75 (like Holiday Inn, Hampton, Super 8 and a Quality Inn).

    Priceline listed 1* and 2* hotel catagories. Advised my second cousin to bid $35 and got it! $46.10 total with taxes.

  2. Based on the reviews for this place, I may opt to get a Motel 6 .. I have a really bad vibe about this motel.

    I bid $35 for a 2.5* in San Jose (hope for the Courtyard) and added $5 and Sunnyvale. At least I fly out the next morning and only need a bed. Seems this place should not be on priceline. Wish I did 3* to begin with [Note: I got the Hilton Santa Clara for $45 on the 15th!] :) :)

    btw. the hotel website had a $79 nightly rate for this date.

  3. First bid was for a 2.5* at $30 (since I got the Courtyard at that rate). Denied. Since we wanted to stay in that area, added $1 to bid and 2* catagory. Got the TownePlace Suites by Marriott (they have studio, one bedroom & two bedroom suites). Note, I have seen $24 bids for the TownePlace Suites being accepted. I will call back later to see if we can get a 2 bedroom suites.

  4. Rainmen1956, I don't remember the hot tub or sauna but it was listed in the 'information' book you get in the room. I liked the hotel. Good Location (one block west of Crescent) and about 3 blocks from the Metro. The parking in below the hotel for $13.50 CDN (it's a private lot and not the Novotel's). The room I got was a king and it was comfortable (and there was a sofa bed too). No microwave/mircofridge and local calls are $1 CDN. I would recommend this hotel to others.

    one note: The US dollars is getting weaker and weaker to the Canadian dollar. I was getting $1 US = $1.35 CDN and now it's down to $1.32 CDN (and I remember only a few years back it was $1.61 CDN!!).

  5. Thereuare, Le Novotel Hotel (per hotwire) features the following amenities: suite, airport shuttle, restaurant(s), fitness center and spa services.

    one question: I believe I can not get the GST and Quebec Provincial tax back because I may not get a bill for the room from the hotel. Someone I know used priceline for a Toronto Hotel and didn't get a bill so he couldn't get the GST back.
