Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Portland (Downtown Portland) Sentinel

[Bonwah]

Hotwire win at $180 turns out to be the Hotel Sentinel in downtown Portland. Amenities: "Free Internet, Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby"

 

As an aside: Several downtown Portland hotels list "golf" as an amenity, which is a little weird: there are no courses nearby in downtown Portland. Plenty of courses 4-5 miles away, but... that's true almost anywhere. I don't think it's much help in figuring out which hotel is which.

Congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your win with the board.

 

There are some amenities (ie- such as 'Golf nearby'... 'Tennis nearby' is another) that are less descriptive and not very helpful in trying to research/guess the hotel being offered... you can even add 'Boutique' to that list since it's such a general term and we have even seen some 2.5* labeled as 'boutique' (which isn't really what you think of when thinking boutique... most think more along the lines of a high-end intimate hotel with nice furnishings).  Of course you can (and should) use our Hotwire Hotel List when researching properties since the amenity set above is an exact match for the Sentinel... or you could always ask the board for help.  Regardless, glad to see you're pleased with the deal (and hopefully weren't intending to bring your golf clubs along this trip based upon the amenity description )

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.
