as an fyi, i contacted hilton and asked them to send me a confirmation of my upcoming montreal stay (without addressing any questions about the rate).
they sent one...with $224 as a
daily rate, and a
total rate of C$1856 for the week.
i suspect i could have shown up at the hotel w/my printed t*******ity confirmation and made a case of it--and the hotel might well have honored it--but we have other travel planned that month and in this case i think we'll just scrap the trip.
you might have better luck contacting the hotel directly--rather than hilton--and getting an okay to travel from them.
i really *do* think they'd honor the rate if i had just showed up w/the confirmation, but i just didn't feel like having the conversation. it's harder if it's not a pre-paid rate. also, i don't speak french.
