50sjayne Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Amenitites : tennis nearby and restaurant. $54 April 11-13 Greater DT Portland area. Link to comment
Colfax Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi, 50sjayne!"Tennis nearby" could be any hotel but a 1* with a restaurant is unusual.I vote for Travelodge Portland City Center at 2401 SW 4th Ave. If that's it the restaurant would be Suki's.$54 is no bargain though, after HOTWIRE fee. You can book Travelodge directly for $59 (1 queen) or $69 (1 king). Link to comment
50sjayne Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Yeah thanks Col-- I was just curious, ended up getting the Residence Inn on Priceline for $45 --love it. Link to comment
50sjayne Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Bid 2 days ago sorry-- forgot to post here. Started at $40, added Northwest and $45 and got it. I love this place-- the breakfast is wonderful and the riverwalk is beautiful, especially at night. There is also a Mcormack and Shmick's nearby,-bonus--. It is also on the streetlcar line. You pay to park, but we didn't have any trouble parking at the meters in front of the hotel last time we were there. Link to comment

Colfax Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I hope you find a parking meter again, 50sjayne, but I sure didn't have any luck when I stayed at the Res Inn last fall. Parking is $21/night there and all of the adjacent streets but one are No Parking. That one block with meters, across from RI's entrance, only had 6 or 7 spots, and they seemed much coveted by hotel guests.After 6pm the meters are free til morning. When I checked in I didn't buy parking. I dropped my bags, went out, planned to come back around 5:45pm and hover until I got one of those meter spots across the street. When I got back I found ten or twelve cars already circling the block, all Res Inn guests probably, and all with the same plan as me. It was hopeless and I paid the $21. I enjoyed the Res Inn so much that I won't dwell on the parking charge. At $45 it's still a great value, even if you pay $21 to park. The Res Inn's breakfast buffet would cost more than $21 for two at a restaurant, which sort of cancels out the parking charge (if you wake up in time to have the buffet).Have a good trip. I guess you can try the Travelodge next time. :) Link to comment
50sjayne Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I remember you had trouble with the parking when you went, that made me really conscious of the problem when we went. I remember the first night, had no problem when we checked in, but I'm sure it was earlier in the day. The second night it was full by the time we got back for the night so we thought we'd check out the nearby area (I had google earth'd it before hand) and knew there was a Mcormack and Shmick's nearby so we went there for happy hour and by the time we got back there was a spot. I really wanted a jacuzzi this time so I'll gamble again I guess ;-) Wish the ding dang Red Lion still had the 24 hour jacuzzi of old days still-- that was the bomb. My stepdad found other 'secret' spots to park when he was there, maybe I'll check those out too. I do like Travelodge's though, I'm seriously considering the Travelodge Anaheim when we are there-- it's got everything we want, and if you are brave you can walk to the parking structure pretty quickly to the shuttle from what I understand.
