mynameisnewmie Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 Has anyone noticed the Novotel, which is clearly in the Ottawa (Ottawa) area, does not show up on that map or in the ist of hotels that should be in the Ottawa area downtown?That is a mistake is it not? Because I'm pretty sure it is not in Hull.?
thereuare Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 I'm not sure what you're referring to... is this something on our site or at the PRICELINE site? (where the names of the hotels are shown/given)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

mynameisnewmie Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Posted October 26, 2009 The PRICELINE site itself.If one was to pull up a map of the dowtown Ottawa hotels it is not there/or in the hotel list for downtown.It only appears in all Ottawa hotels list version.Did I word that right?ThanksWhat I mean is that to get the Novotel you have to bid Ottawa Hull when it is clearly in downtown Ottawa.
thereuare Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 The "Retail" and "Name your own Price" versions of PRICELINE each use a different universe of hotels, as well as different zone boundaries and zone names... on the "bidding" side of things, the Novotel has previous been reported in the Ottawa zone (not Hull)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
