Robin Coolidge Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 One each listed as 3 and 3.5 start hotels in the Portland Airport area. Dates are 6/5-6/7/09.3.5 star- Airport shuttle- Fitness Center- Pool- Restaurant- Business Center- High-speed Internet3 star- Airport shuttle- Fitness Center- Pool- Restaurant- Business Center- High-speed Internet- Laundry- Golf nearbyI will be sure to use your HOTWIRE link!One other question. My flight will arrive about 11:59 on 6/5. I assume I need 6/5 reservations even though I will probably not get to the airport before 1:00am 6/6. Is that correct?Thanks!
tilepusher Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 My best guess for the 3.5* hotel is the Sheraton Portland Airport.Check the amenities for the 3* hotel again by clicking Continue and then clicking "see all amenities" (located just below the amenity icons). You may need to increase the size of the window that opens (or reduce the type size). Do you see a Tennis Nearby icon as well? Also, does the following TripAdvisor information appear: 3.0 rating, 20+ customer reviews, last rated November 2008? If so, this is a match for the Radisson Portland Airport, so that would be my guess for this one.Yes, you do need reserve a room for 6/5; otherwise, you won't be able to check in until the afternoon of the 6th.

Is that correct?I will also add that whatever hotel you receive you should call and let them know that you won't be arriving until after midnite and that you will be checking-in and to not release your room as a 'no show'. (ask them to put a note on your reservation) I would then also call the day of travel and let them know again.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Robin Coolidge Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 Yes, when I look at the "all amenities: link "tennis nearby" does appear. (As an aside, I could not reformat or resize the pop-up window, I had to print it to see everything).But, when I look at the trip advisor it does say a 3.0 rating, 20+ reviewers, but the latest is January 2009.Still look like the Radisson? I kinda hope so, that is the one I would like to get.Thanks for your help!
tilepusher Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 My mistake; I must have been thinking about the 3.5* TA info. I still think it's the Radisson.
Robin Coolidge Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 OK, thanks again!One more question (for now anyway). ;-)With Hotwire is it better to book as far out as you can, or to wait until closer to the trip to see if prices change, hopefully in the down direct?
thereuare Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 There is no rule for "best time to buy", but the best course of action is to research prices so you know what "good deal" is... then if one presents itself take it.For more info see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Robin Coolidge Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 Thank you for your help!It was indeed the Radisson Hotel Portland Airport. I used your HOTWIRE link to reserve two nights 6/5-6, and one night 6/12. Price on both reservations were $53/night.
thereuare Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and are happy with the results.Please only post one win per thread... we'll use this thread to reflect your first purchase for 6/5-6/7, can you please start a NEW TOPIC for your second purchase for 6/12.
