Never, NEVER call the hotel and book right from them. The average downtown hotel you will get is around $110. Go to priceline.com. I got a downtown hotel for $35 u.s (43 cdn) per night for the whole weekend.
Basically, you put the hotel class you are looking for, you choose the area and you make a price bid...it will search the whole area of only name brand hotels for your price amount. I booked it 20 days before and got that price for an average 2 star hotel. I know people that have booked a hotel from there a day before and gotten a 3 star for 32 dollars per night....just remeber to put when it asks for address "CA" for state and 99999 for zip code. |

use hotels.ca or expedia.ca
they have pretty much the same prices.
never book directly at the hotel, the worst you should do is call their 1800 number and reserve because you'll get a lower price. |

I personally know people who live in Canada and have booked in hotels in Canada through priceline.com...maybe the guy doesnt know what he is talking about...it happens...I work in a comapny with over 10,000 employees worldwide, many i have to interact with day to day are totally clueless about their own work |

i hear that...
i also work for a big ass compagnie and i agree. i'm just not willing to take the risk. so i booked with expidia. |

| BTW...all you have to do is when it asks for billing address, you out in your CC address. But underneath it when it asks for address again, you have to put in the Canadian code, which is: CA (california), and for zipcode you type in 99999 |
