Has anyone ever used this site to book hotels in Canada? How is this site?

 

My nephew booked a Chicago hotel using this site and had no problem but please check their cancellation policy before booking.

 

There is a way to find out which hotel last minute travel is offering. Click on the secret hotel and look at the url browser for the hotel number. Also click on "more info" about the hotel and compare the hotel amenities to the 2nd link below.

 

For example - in the link below, the number is 1670

 

http://www.lastminutetravel.com/PageHotelDetail.aspx?hotelId=1670&provider=localTgsProvider&SearchResults=1

 

Using the link below, I inserted (or replaced the previous hotel number with) 1670 and you will get the hotel name. You will note that the hotel amenities are the same.

 

http://www.touricoholidays.com/en/PageHotelDetail.aspx?hotelId=1670&provider=localTgsProvider

 

So in this example, hotel #1670 is Ramada Inn and Suites in Vancouver.

 

I hope this helps you. I learned this trick from another travel forum.

This method was SO AWESOME, but doesn't work anymore. Does anyone have a new way to see which hotel is being offered?
