travisl Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Based on recent successes at $32 for 3* airport area hotels, I followed this site's PRICELINE link yesterday and tried $31 for the airport zone 3*, which was rejected. I added Convention Center and raised my bid to $32. Rejected.I added Downtown and raised my bid to $33. Rejected.Last night, I received an e-mail from Priceline with a $5/per night discount coupon, any star level.This afternoon, I followed this site's PRICELINE link and attempted $31+$5 for the airport zone 3*. RejectedI added Convention Center and raised my bid to $32 + $5. Rejected.I added Downtown and raised my bid to $33 + $5. Rejected.I added Jantzen Beach and kept my bid at $33 + $5. Rejected.I added Gresham and kept my bid at $33 + $5. Rejected.About an hour later, I checked my e-mail and got the standard "priceline.com Tips for Successful Bidding to Portland" e-mail. "Meh," I figure, "why not drop it half a star and see what happens." My first attempt: $30 + $5 in the airport zone ... SUCCESS! The Comfort Inn and Suites gets some decent reviews on TripAdvisor, and they provide free breakfast and wi-fi. With taxes and fees, I think $77 for two nights is a great deal. Link to comment

kate410 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 That's a great buy. Do you know which Comfort Inn and Suites that is? I am interested in the one on NW Phoenix-Columbia Gorge, or the Holiday Inn Express.If I need to be directed to HOTWIRE, that is fine. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Do you know which Comfort Inn and Suites that is? I am interested in the one on NW Phoenix-Columbia Gorge, or the Holiday Inn Express.If you're referring to the Comfort Inn at 477 NW Phoenix Dr., that is not in the PDX zone, that property is located in the Gresham-Troutdale zone. The OP can confirm, but I believe the one above is the Comfort Inn and Suites Portland Airport at 5019 Northeast 102nd Ave (there is another Comfort Suites in this zone at 12010 NE Airport Way... but that one is currently rated 2* by PRICELINE)If you'd like help with your own upcoming stay please start a NEW TOPIC.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!
