    It has 3 stars and a 3.5 rating from TripAdvisor.

    The 3.5 rating places in Lincoln City are:

    Lincoln City Inn

    Overlook Motel

    America's Best Inn & Suites Lincoln City

    Sailor Jack Ocean Front Motel

    O'dysius Hotel

    Surftides Lincoln City

    Of these, the following do no list free breakfast as an amenity:

    Sailor Jack Ocean Front Motel

    Overlook Motel

    Siletz Bay Lodge

    Motel 6 Lincoln City

    My guess is that it is the Lincoln City Inn, but does anybody else have better info?

  2. This is the same weekend that the Portland Marathon is going on. My preference was to stay Downtown, but from this hotel it is a short free Max ride to downtown for my run.

    Downtown has really limited availability for this weekend.

    I started by bidding $55 on a 3* in DT, I was rejected.

    I then bid $61 on a 3* in the Convention Center - Lloyd Center area, & I was rejected again.

    I then added the South Waterfront District & bid $66, and this bid was accepted.

    The best Hotwire could do was a 3* in the same area for $75, but I will not use them anymore and would encourage others here to boycott Hotwire due to their manipulating practices. You can read here about my last experience with HOTWIRE

    I did not remember to use the link here to PRICELINE, but will try and remember next time. My bad.

  3. Sorry, I forgot to use the links above to HOTWIRE this time.

    Hotwire 2 star property with these amenities:

    Free breakfast

    Fitness

    Pool

    Laundry

    High speed internet

    Check in Sept 16 Check out Sept 18

    Hotwire rate $80/night

    Fees & taxes $25.50

    Total $185.50

    Via Days Inn website:

    $84/night

    Taxes $16.80

    Total $184.80

    I think I got taken by Hotwire because you book on Hotwire to save money. I am paying more overall to use Hotwire. I have contacted Hotwire to cancel, they refused. I talked to a supervisor, and he refused to help me. I have talked to people at Wyndham and they don't care. Any advice?

    I think that Hotwire basing their guarantee on the room rate only allows them to manipulate what they charge for taxes and fees. Plus the savings listed on their website advertise up to 50% savings. This is less than 5%.

    I saw a quote from Hotwire's CEO: If you really care about price, our prices are more discounted than the hotel's website itself.

    Please advise me what I may do about this booking. This episode has left me never wanting to do business with Hotwire again. If you advice is I took a risk, bummer, I already realize that. As you can see from my posts here, I am not a Hotwire newby. I am just shocked at the paltry discount.

    If this is how Hotwire is going to play the game, then I will never book with them again, and I am telling EVERYONE I know what a ripoff Hotwire is.

  4. Just: Seattle (Bellevue North - Redmond).

    I did a search for early May 2009, and Bellevue was divided as follows:

    Downtown Bellevue Area

    3.5 star with smoke free rooms, fitness center, restaurant, business center and high speed internet

    3 star with fitness center, pool, restaurant, and high speed internet

    and

    Bellevue Eastgate - Factoria - Crossroads

    3.5 star with smoke free rooms, complimentary breakfast, fitness center, pool, restaurant, business center, laundry and high speed internet

    2 star with complimentary breakfast, restaurant, laundry and tennis

    The current Hotwire list says:

    Seattle (Bellevue North - Redmond)

    Do anyone have any advice?

  5. I decided to see if I could save a little bit more money staying in Medford this time. This hotel is $90/night on redlion.com, and $71/night on HOTWIRE.

    My first bid was for $47/night. Priceline rejected it, and said if I added $13.00 to my bid, I could rebid immediately. I passed, and added a free rebidding zone of Grants Pass and a bid of $48/night. Rejected.

    I added Ashland, since I would be just as happy staying there for that price, and a bid of $49/night. Success.

    Thanks for the site. I used the PRICELINE link to make my bids.

  6. Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront

    Downtown Portland

    1401 Sw Naito Parkway

    Portland, Oregon 97201

    I used the PRICELINE link on the site.

    I am going to a show and this is a nice way to end the evening.

    The lowest price on the Marriott website is $151.00.

    I notice that some people have won this as a three star property, but Priceline said that it is now a 3 1/2 star. So, if this hotel is your goal. please be aware of that.

  7. Another new property:

    Has the following amenities:

    Fitness Center

    Pool

    Restaurant

    Business center

    Laundry

    High speed internet

    The Liaison Capitol Hill - An Affinia Hotel

    415 New Jersey Avenue, NW

    Washington, District of Columbia 20001

    (202) 638-1616

    I did not go through the HOTWIRE link on the site, sorry, but I did for another purchase I made yesterday, but have not written up yet.

    The lowest rates booking directly were:

    First night $252, second night $342

  8. Hotwire has set up a new area:

    Northwest Portland - Goose Hollow

    They have the following hotel listed:

    3-star hotel

    It has these amenities:

    Complimentary Breakfast <amenity names only please... not descriptions>

    Fitness Center Guests have access to exercise equipment; an additional charge may apply.

    Business Center Guests have access to business equipment and services; an additional charge may apply.

    Laundry Facilities <amenity names only please... not descriptions>

    High-speed Internet Access Guestrooms are equipped with high-speed Internet access; an extra charge may apply.

    The rate is $114/night for a stay from 2/29/08 - 3/1/08

    It may be this place:

    Inn at Northrup Station

    Can anyone please provide further insight?

    Or it could be this place, the former Hotel Mallory

    It looks to be just inside the border of this new area distinction by Hotwire.

  9. This price was for a room for three adults and one child.

    For the same room for two adults, the rate was $54.00 a night.

    The amenities now are as follows:

    Smoke Free Rooms

    Pool(s)

    Business Center

    Fitness Center

    Restaurant(s)

    High-speed Internet Access

    So Tennis has been replaced as amenity, for Smoke Free Rooms.

    The cheapest room at this hotel is $152.00/night, so the HOTWIRE rate is a significant savings.

    Thanks for the website.
