Hotwire Hotel: Downtown Montreal 3*+ Help for a Newbie

[ChrisUSA]

Newbie looking for a greater than 3 star hotel in Downtown Montreal. Since we are 2 adults and 2 kids I am using Hotwire.

I find a 3.5 Star for $85 (not sure of currency). I am looking for Jun 21 to Jun 24 2011. Should I just book it or are there alternate strategies for me. It is a wedding so waiting too long is not an option.

Any help is much appreciated.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

HOTWIRE offers a set of discounted listings (amenities, zone, star rating, price). HOTWIRE does not offer another option (such as bidding) to choose from. There are more details about both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE at I've Never Used Priceline or Hotwire.

If you would like us to try to help ID the listing, please provide the zone, amenities and star rating.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

The prices are in US currently... what are the amenities HOTWIRE associates with the property offered?

Location is downtown Montreal, the hotel has 3.5* and has a fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center and High-Speed Internet. How do I find out the difference between 3* and 3.5*?

Thanks for the help.

These amenities are common for a city hotel, but the Gouverneur Place Dupuis has previously been seen with this amenity set so that would be my best guess for this one.

Unfortunately star ratings are subjective and there isn't too much concrete difference between a 3.5* and a 3*... it's more based on 'overall feel' and 'user feedback and experience'. For example, HOTWIRE states the following for 3 star properties:

These mid-range hotels offer a relaxed and inviting environment. Extra amenities and clean rooms will make your stay comfortable.

and the following for 3.5 star properties:

These quality hotels feature an enhanced level of service and comfort compared to similar establishments in the 3-star category. Guests have access to a range of amenities with occasional fees.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.
