ahallbetterb Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Checked Hotwire and Priceline Express. Both had a 3.5 star hotel in "Moda Center - Lloyd District - Convention Center." Hotwire had one for $101, Priceline for $97. I figured it was the same hotel - either the Crowne Plaza or the Doubletree. Priiceline's amenities listing was more vague, but Hotwire's gave it away: self-serve laundry which the Doubletree doesn't have. (Not shown on Priceline's regular hotel page for the Crowne Plaza, but the hotel's own website lists "Self-service laundry.") I was hoping for the Crowne Plaza anyway - I am familiar with both it and the Doubletree. I decided to try bidding for a 3.5 star with Priceline's Name Your Own Price. I first bid $87 - no go but got a counter-offer for $101 to bid again immediately. Instead, I started a new bid (adding Beaverton - no 3.5 star hotels there) for $89 and it was accepted, for two nights at the Crowne Plaza. Total with taxes/fees was $218.98. Hotel's best flexible price on its website was $179/night. (Doubletree was showing for basically the same price.) This done two days before check-in. Link to comment
