Thanks everyone. I had been keeping an eye on the hotwire deal ($128) while bidding on priceline, and ended up taking it since my priceline bids failed. It was the Benson. I'll report it on the hotwire board.
Dates: 10/8/12 thru 10/11/12
First bid:
Downtown Portland
4*
$93
Second bid:
Downtown Portland
Portland Convention Center
4*
$103
neither bid accepted

(I used to travel to pdx all the time and knew all the hotwire hotels--have since forgotten)
After multiple attempts over the last week with bids starting around $75, was successful by adding the South Waterfront area (searching for 3.5 plus stars).
$88/night
3.5 stars
Avalon Hotel & Spa
My only disappointment is that I can't use any of my frequent flier/hotel points programs with Priceline.
