Hotwire Hotel: Montreal 5/28/2009-5/31/2009

[Miami]

I've searched Hotwire and an noticed an interesting thing. I need 4 rooms so I initially searched for this and found a 4* which has fitness centre, business centre, restaraunt and internet access for $83 (no tripadvisor ranking). However, if I only search for 1 room I also find a 4.5* for $125 which I'm pretty sure is the Sofitel. Why? Does this mean that the 4.5* does not offer 4 rooms or can I do 4 individual booking and get 4 rooms that way? It's absolutely essential that all 4 rooms are at the same hotel so i don't want to take any risks.

Alternatively, I can bid on Priceline for a 4* and see what I end up with.

I can only guess if a hotel appears for searching for 1 and not 4, then they don't have 4 rooms available in their HOTWIRE inventory. I would definitely NOT recommend trying to book them individually, as I'm guessing they don't have 4 rooms available. When using PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, definitely always book all rooms at once in the same transaction - NEVER try to buy them separately.

Thanks for the quick response. Any idea what hotel that 4* on Hotwire could be?

This could be the Hyatt, Hilton or Delta based upon those amenities, but the Hyatt is probably the most likely of the bunch.

Thanks again. I tried bidding several times on Priceline - up to $80 for 4* downtown. No luck. Ended up booking the Novotel through a corporate rate instead. I'm still considering booking the 4* on HOTWIRE for $83 and cancelling the Novotel. The Hyatt would be pretty nice.
