Hotels fully booked in Montreal 17-18JUNE?
I was just checking room availability in Montreal for 17-18 June but it looks like every major hotel is fully booked. Is some event scheduled on this date? Does anyone know? I may have to change my travel plans.

If you can stay a little way out of downtown, the Hilton Laval is showing availability. I don't know anything about the hotel or how (in)convenient it would be for your plans, but might be worth checking out.

Thank you, JerryFF. I just checked the Hilton but it looked like they, too, were sold out when I checked it. It will be a short overnight stay, so if only I could get a room at an airport hotel.
I exercised my SPG Platinum status benefit and got a room with Le Centre Sheraton for a rather expensive rate of CD324++.
I was told that two Four Points properties -- one of them near the airport -- had a special event blackout period and I cannot get a room with them even if I am a Plat.
Le Centra Sheraton doesn't have that blackout. Strange, given that Le Centre is not that far from the Four Points in downtown -- if I remember the geography of the town correctly.

The one in Laval is very far away from the downtown and even from the airport. The hotels are usually fully booked in June because of the varies events going on in Montreal, such as the graduation convocations, grand prix, and some other conventions. Moreover, there will be many tour coming during the summer, and many hotels have blocked a lot of rooms for them. Le Sheration and the FourPoint are some of them.

Try www.priceline.com You probably won't get any points, but if you bid for a 3*** property in downtown Montreal, you'll probably get the Marriott Reanaissance Parc. I got it for $45 USD per night during the FAQ.
