merlin666 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I will have a 17h stopover at YUL so will probably need a hotel for the night. What kind of Price.line strategy would you suggest to find the cheapest hotel that has shuttle service to the airport? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 The best suggestion would be to go for a deal on HOTWIRE or PRICELINE EXPRESS, as you can search for a listing that specifically states shuttle as an amenity. Otherwise, while many hotels by the airport have shuttle, it's not guaranteed that all do, so bidding becomes a risk. What is the date of your stay and what would be your desired budget per night (as well as desired star rating?)

merlin666 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 What is the date of your stay and what would be your desired budget per night (as well as desired star rating?)I have started bidding for the downtown and conference areas starting at 4* and going down to 2* but so far no luck for my budget. I would prefer to stay below $70 all in, and the added fees are quite hefty it seems (around $20). I think on my next try I will go for the Airport area and keep fingers crossed I get a place with a shuttle, and then just bus into town for the evening. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Sorry to hear that bids have not yet been accepted. Please keep us updated on what you decide and let us know if you have additional questions. The one issue is that you may get a hotel with shuttle, but it may be purely an airport shuttle.Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have additional questions.

There's a 2* with shuttle in the airport zone on HOTWIRE for $61 for the date in question - a little over your desired budget after taxes/fees, but shuttle plus breakfast and is actually 85% recommended.

thereuare Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 2* hotel in the Dorval Airport Area (YUL) zone for $54/nite, which comes to $71 all-in: Free Internet in room Outdoor Pool Restaurant Airport Shuttle Business Center Fitness Center Does this work for your needs/budget?

merlin666 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks for the excellent HOTWIRE and PRICELINE EXPRESS suggestions, unfortunately I am not able to find them. Maybe they just come and go, and I will have to try looking. Also no luck with the NYOP approach yet, guess will just have to go a bit higher each day and be patient. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 While searching for two people on 9/19, I'm seeing a 2* in the Airport YUL area w/Shuttle, Complimentary Breakfast, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Free Parking, Pet Friendly. $60. Would likely be the Comfort Inn Airport. If you do not seeing the above, are you searching for more than 2 people?

merlin666 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I ended up with 2* Quality Hotel Dorval Aeroport for Sept. 19 at $54 (NYP) + $18 taxes. Seems to be the one that was available as a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal. Link to comment
