When will your plans be firm and you'll know the dates of your stay... or are your dates flexible in that any 1 or 2 nites within a given range are acceptable? (if the latter what are the parameters/range of acceptable dates) What will be the deciding factor between one nite or two?

To confirm... you need a hotel for check-in 9/13 or 9/14? What is your check-out date?

Hi,

I use PRICELINE for Montreal hotel reservation quite frequently. Bidding on PL taught me lots lessons. Generally speaking, PRICELINE offers great value for 3* and above hotels as they have more "perishable" inventory to sell for. So long as you cross their minimum barrier, these hotels will take on your offer. On the other hand, cheap hotels have less price-value ratio, believe or not. Couple of times, when I was trying to low balling, I ended up in hotels either in very bad condition, bad neighborhood, or out of no where.

If you raise you bar to around $60~65, you should get decent hotels. $55~60 will get you Airport or near by ones.

Good luck.

Hi

I am looking for a hotel close to the Berri UQAM station, do you know if these hotels are close by?

[thereuare]

The Berri UQAM station is located in Montreal's Downtown zone... if you look at the zone boundaries, are you able to accept a hotel anywhere within the shaded boundaries of this zone?

[swirly]

Yes I am willing to accept anything in the shaded area.

Thanks!

Just looked over the win history for Montreal.

If you're comfortable anywhere in the downtown zone and are willing to spend a bit more, i'd say start bidding 3* at $55, since you have time you can avoid adding additional zones and just wait out the re-bid period.

I don't see any recent wins in downtown in the $40 range. :)

the Gouverner Place Dupis which is located right at Berri-UQAM and seems to be going on weekends for the $60-$70 range on Priceline- but obviously we can't guarentee you'd get that and i know its a bit out of your price range. I won it with a 3* $60 bid a couple weeks ago.

this is just the way i see it, im sure thereuare or another one of the experts will pop in here soon and give u some advice that is the complete opposite of mine :)

[swirly]

I didn't see any $40 either but I was hoping since i am picking 2*

[corster]

I'd say go ahead and bid Montreal Downtown 2* at $35... wait out the rebid period and work your way up... if u get up to $55 i'd probably change my bids to 3*

[thereuare]

Starting at $35-$40 seems reasonable and increasing $3-$5 every 24 hours, but one more thing...

Arriving sept 14 at midnight staying for 2 nights

my check in date is sept 14 and check out date is sept 16

Are you arriving 9/14 at midnite (when the 13th switches to the 14th OR when the 14th changes to the 15th??)

I have bid up to $37 so far, no luck I guess i will continue each day until i get to my max. It has told me to bid an extra $10 and it will most likely give me a room. I will try and see how it goes.

if it's telling you to bid an extra $10 i'm pretty sure you'll have a room around $40-43
