Hi, 

I was traveling for work and did not have any time to pursue this much more. (My earlier question was more out of curiosity as a coworker mentioned that some portion of NW portland was still something i should look at). 

I do want to stick to the downtown zones and increase my budget and stay at 3* . Of course, my procrastination has cost me since prices are higher now.  

But i have received some gift cards for restaurants and events there and I can raise my budget for hotel up to around 135.

On my Express deals right now, i see 

3-Star Express Deal Hotel Moda Center - Lloyd District - Convention Center Area  $147

3-Star Express Deal Hotel Downtown Portland - Pioneer Courthouse Square - Pearl District Area Bed choice available  $160

Ready to bid again for 3* and above! 

Thanks for continuing to remain patient and assist me in this.

I can't be at the computer much at all till the weekend. I'll have to think about how high I want to go - or maybe look at airport hotels, which I generally never stay at. 

I received a counter from PL when i bid 105 for a 3.5* for all 3 downtown zones. It asks me to raise my bid by 58$. How do i respond?

thanks

No luck! went through all the numbers , so you are right about 100$ being pretty low even for the 3*. 

Its North Vancouver Salmon Creek

Yes I found the zone without the 3*. So i should use that for the re bidding? 

Thanks for the detailed process! 

I read about rebid zones in the faq and it says to rebid using a zone where that star doesn't exist. In my case, there are 3 stars in each zone! So when you say in step one to add rebid zone, which one should I use ? 

Yes, I'd like to start bidding at 100 for 3*. 

How should i start?

Thank you!  I'd prefer to keep to the zones and see if i can do better with a 3* rating at this time. 

Apologies for not naming the zones: My preference is to stay in one of these 3 zones.

Downtown Portland - City Center - PSU - South Waterfront

Downtown Portland - Pioneer Courthouse Square - Pearl District

Moda Center - Lloyd District - Convention Center

Please advise.

First time in Portland - want to stay Downtown. Dates are 4/6-4/9 (three nights Thu, Fri, Sat).

3.5* would be lovely if we can stay around 100$. No particular amenities except wifi a must.

Would love to stay in zone 1, 2 or 12. How should i proceed ideally?

thanks
