drjbo3 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Since there are four 3* places regularly on Hotwire near the convention center figuring out which hotel you are bidding on is sometimes confusing. But now Hotwire has added two new features..."recommended by Hotwire travelers" and ~sometimes~ the "rate on other sites". I was hoping for the Crowne Plaza AND wanted two beds....so tried a variety of combinations to see what happened. Two of the 3* came up at near or close to the same price with similar amenities,but one is recommended by 75% and the other 95%. Bidding on two adults with 2 children gave us this.Portland (Downtown - Convention Center)3* Crowne Plaza Downtown Convention CenterAirport ShuttleFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterLaundry Facilities (self-service)High-Speed Internet AccessRates on other sites were $109-129 but the "other rate" noted was $101....so I am not sure how reliable this is for narrowing down the hotels.

drjbo3 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Of course....I used the links on the your site to connect and purchase my stay. Love this site! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Congrats on your success! :)Nice deal for this Crowne Plaza property! Hope the hotel will work well for your travel plans.The "other rate" is, I believe, an average of hotels in the zone at that star rating. It isn't a reliable indicator of which hotel the listing is.Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
