akhon Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Need a hotel for Ottawa from 9/9 to 9/11 (2 nights)... bid up to $28, $30, $32 for 2* no luck. Checked Hotwire for reference rates and even the 2* in Ottawa West is charging $60! A couple days ago the same hotel was showing $37 on Hotwire. Anyone with any idea what's going that weekend on all of a sudden?Currently booked Comfort Inn refundable rate at C$99 (approx. $82). Need some insight on whether I should book something thru PL right now or if there's a chance rate will come back down. I've never seen rates almost doubling for the same hotel in a couple days.Thanks all for any suggestions. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hope you remembered this board is an affiliate of the COMFORT INN as found in our SUPPORT PAGE.There are currently no 2* properties showing on Hotwire in Ottawa West for your dates.

akhon Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Just a followup...Checked Hotwire again just now, and the rate for the 2* in Ottawa West is once again showing $38... looks like they have opened up additional inventory. Either that or there was a glitch in the Hotwire system.In any case I have booked the Courtyard for $42 thru PL (posted separately) so too late now. Guess there is nothing special going on in Ottawa that weekend after all. Link to comment
