Checked  Hotwire and Priceline Express.  Both had a 3.5 star hotel in "Moda Center - Lloyd District - Convention Center."  Hotwire had one for $101, Priceline for $97.  I figured it was the same hotel - either the Crowne Plaza or the Doubletree.  Priiceline's amenities listing was more vague, but Hotwire's gave it away: self-serve laundry which the Doubletree doesn't have.  (Not shown on Priceline's regular hotel page for the Crowne Plaza, but the hotel's own website lists "Self-service laundry.")  I was hoping for the Crowne Plaza anyway - I am familiar with both it and the Doubletree.

 

I decided to try bidding for a 3.5 star with Priceline's Name Your Own Price.  I first bid $87 - no go but got a counter-offer for $101 to bid again immediately.  Instead, I started a new bid (adding Beaverton - no 3.5 star hotels there) for $89 and it was accepted, for two nights at the Crowne Plaza.  Total with taxes/fees was $218.98.  Hotel's best flexible price on its website was $179/night.  (Doubletree was showing for basically the same price.)  This done two days before check-in.
