Hey...thanks for the great info! I will definitely keep that in mind next time and try a PRICELINE bid! Go Habs indeed!

well, since everyone is so hepful, I guess another quick question woudn't hurt... I noticed a 2 star hotel deal on Hotwire for $39 with ammenities of "continental breakfast" high speed available and a " symbol "B" for "boutique hotel"... Are there more than 1 "boutique" hotels in downtown montreal? seems to me this symbol should narrow it down considerably, and that someone on here probably knows which hotel this is... Thanks!

Montral, (Downtown) looking at 1 night stay, 1 adult and 1 child, March 25th check in March 26th checkout... 2.5 * $49 amenities listed is: Restaurant(s) or 3* $63 amenities: Fitness Centre Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Centre any guesses???

ok thanks for the help... after doing tons of reading on here I think I have a better idea of what I need to do. For this trip I really need to know for sure that I am indeed DOWNTOWN, so I will go with HOTWIRE. I will be posting a question to see if anyone can help guess the location of my 2 potential choices... One more thing...Is it better to wait until closer to your planned date to book a hotel with either service? It would seem to me that the best deals would be right on the date or very close...no? thanks again!

thank you for the reply. the most important factor for me is the location...then price. I have checked the hotel list here and I have anothere question...I only see two 4 1/2 star hotels listed for downtown... and two 2 1/2 star hotels....if I put a priceline bid for either of these am I assured of getting one of the 2 on the list? or is the list incomplete?

Hi glad I found this forum! I am planning a trip with my young son to see a Habs game in montreal in march. we'll be taking the train to Mtl., and as there is no return train after the game we will have to stay overnight. Obviously, we will be on foot, and the bell Centre arena is within walking distance from the train station. I wanted to try PRICELINE or HOTWIRE to try and get a good deal, but I need to be certain that whatever hotel we get is within reasonable walking distance from the train station and the Bell centre. Can anyone suggest how I might procede? Thanks in advance, and yes, I will use the links here to book my accoms... Cheers!
