Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Portland Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Portland

[mikeyjc]

We need to head to Portland for a wedding the weekend after Christmas. With only two hotels in town (one 2.5* and one 2*), it was pretty much a lock that the 2.5* NYOP option would be this property - which also just happens to be the place where many of the out-of-towners plan to stay :-)

And, since I didn't see this property in the master Better Bidding - Indiana - Priceline hotel list, it looks like I've become the first person to report it.

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Portland

100 Holiday Drive

Portland, IN 47371

Room Cost: $68.00

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 1

Taxes and Fees: $14.69

Total: $82.69

I started bidding around Thanksgiving, actually, when Priceline offered bonus cash.

Decatur provides a free rebid for a 2.5* in Portland, as Decatur only has a 1* NYOP property.

Interesting: I just now noticed that if I would have started my search with Decatur, I would have received 2 free rebids for Portland = Decatur and Bluffton. Very interesting.

As always, I clicked through to PRICELINE from the link on this website.
