Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Portland (Greater Downtown) Marriott City Center

[slruud]

As always, I look to take care of details far in advance.

After bidding on Priceline yesterday for 4* to the mid 80s with no success, I checked Hotwire and they had no 3.5* or 4* offerings. Early this AM I checked Hotwire and they had a 3.5 which matched the Marriott City Center, and a 4* which matched the Avalon, going for $149.

I picked the 3.5*, and it WAS the Marriott.

Amenities: Restaurant, Fitness Center, Business Center, Laundry, Tennis.

Best Value and Customer Favorite.

Total for 2 nites...$175.63.

Marriott website quoting $139/nite.

Did access HOTWIRE via link or SavingsBarn. Not sure which one...had a little trouble with logging in and password, but finally made deal.

Thanks BetterBidding...Here's hoping Thereuare had a good vacation.

Please note that we now have our own HOTWIRE link, please use our own link for any future purchases thru HOTWIRE.

Enjoy your stay.

When I booked this stay, Marriott was quoting $139/nite, and shortly after showed no availability. Until last week that is, and now Marriott is quoting $199/nite. Flying free on Southwest Rapid Rewards and saving big $$$ on hotel...can't afford to stay home.
