Priceline Hotel: 3* Portland (Convention Center-Rose Quarter) Red Lion

[tex winter]

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.
