brianr Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 Just got an email from Hotwire for a 2.5 star hotel in Montreal fot $11/night through their partner Hotels.com. When trying to book, I realized the taxes and fees were over $100/night. Doesn't look like a great deal any more.

brianr Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Posted July 16, 2010 What are the dates of this stay so we can replicate the Hotels.com search.The dates are pretty much any Sunday-Wednesday in August. I think the original dates were Aug 10-11 but I found the so called deal on other days in August.
thereuare Posted July 17, 2010 Report Posted July 17, 2010 I see this offering and obviously a mistake... likely in both the room rate and taxe rate. However, did you notice for this is for a shared bunk room? Is this something you're actually interested in?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

brianr Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Posted July 17, 2010 I was interested in a 2.5 star hotel for $11/night. Thought I would post this so nobody would get fooled by the added fees but the 2.5 star bunk bed is an added bonus. Surprized these web sites would get involved with whatever is going on here and hoped you guys would have some idea what this is all about

HOTWIRE won't issue a shared room on an 'opaque' purchase (where the name of the hotel is not shown until after purchase), but in this instance the name and details are shown (as the listing comes from their Hotels.com partner) which is why a shared room is listed as an option... although a user could also choose a private room which is more expensive.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
