pointofnoreturn18 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 No luck on Priceline obtaining a 3.5-stars and above hotel for the aforementioned dates. Hotwire was showing a rate of $89 for a 3.5 star hotel in Montreal for the last several days then it dropped down to $85. I decided to bite the bullet and took the $85/night rate as I was expecting it to be a Delta hotel. 2 nights + taxes/fees = $206 USD all in. (Booked through BetterBidding's HOTWIRE link)Note that for that time period in Montreal, Congress 2010 is going on and many of Montreal's hotels are included in the Congress's website (http://www.congress2010.ca) so I was expecting the inventory to be lower or more expensive.Anyway, I was happy to get a Delta hotel (Delta Centre-ville) as I am a Delta Privilege member (free) which enables me to have room preferences, free internet, late check-out (6 PM) and other member offerings. I will be calling the hotel within the next few days to get my preferences and member options on top of my booking. The amenities for the Delta Centre-Ville is:Fitness CentrePoolRestaurantBusiness CentreLaundry FacilitiesHigh Speed Internet Access (at a cost but waived if you sign up for their membership program online)Spa ServicesChildren's Activity Program
AaronJB Posted May 7, 2010 Report Posted May 7, 2010 Congratulations on your success and Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Definitely a nice deal for this property during a busy time period. While HOTWIRE reservations are generally not eligible for rewards programs, hopefully the hotel will add your program information to your reservation.Thank you for sharing your result with the board and please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
pointofnoreturn18 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Posted May 7, 2010 I have another reservation at a Delta hotel in June booked through PRICELINE and I was able to get all my membership benefits added to my reservation after calling the hotel directly - all that is needed is a Delta Privelege number and your hotel confirmation number.
AaronJB Posted May 7, 2010 Report Posted May 7, 2010 Excellent deal - thank you for the note regarding your experiences with the program.
