Priceline Hotel: 4* Montreal (Downtown-City Center) Omni Mont Royal

[efd]

Using the PRICELINE link here to start my search, I bid $119 for just the Downtown - City Center zone (not the Convention Center - Old Montreal - Latin Quarter zone). That bid was rejected, but with a message that if I bid $149 I wouldn't have to wait for the usual 24 hours between bids (which I took to mean that it would be accepted at that level).

So, I added one of the zones with no 4-star hotels to my original bid, and tried $125. Et voila! Very satisfied with this win, and thanks to the info here I knew that the Omni Mont Royal was one of the possibilities at the 4* level in this zone if my bid was successful.

By the way, a note to anyone planning a trip to Montreal with flexible travel dates - I noticed in my research on conventional travel sites that hotel rates on the weekend in Montreal are nearly double the rates during the week, and I'd already had bids as high as $159 on Priceline rejected for a Sunday night - Wednesday night stay. Fortunately we were able to alter our itinerary slightly to Monday night - Thursday night and save $35+ per night.
