Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Portland (Downtown) Paramount Coast Hotel

[texasgirl3]

Used BB PRICELINE link.

Started at $45 downtown 3.5* (wanted to try for a place with 2 beds in rooms & Monaco rooms have only 1 bed), got an offer for $13 over, so took your advice and figured could get for half that.

Rebid with North-Jantzen Beach (PL automatically added 4*) at $50. Nothing.

Rebid with Vancouver at $52, and got it. Total $66 w/fees.

Expedia rate for same night is $129

Was hoping for the Hilton ( also 3.5*)-- Don't remember for sure, but think Paramount was not on the list of hotels here?

Hoping for better outcome than reviewer on tripadvisor, who recently got a nasty attitude when he presented PL reservation. Reviews on TA overall not great--will hope for the best. MY friend just wants a place with no bedbugs! :)

Thanks for the help, better bidding! I tell all my friends to go here!

Congratulations on your success!

While not the hotel you were hoping for, this should work fine for your needs and the price is right!

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.

I stayed at this hotel in late April - early May (I've been meaning to write a review, but I never seem to get around to it). The hotel is a bit lacking in amenities compared to the Hilton (no pool, and the fitness room isn't really up to 3.5* standards), but the rooms are much bigger than the Hilton's and have fridges and free wireless Internet (although the signal wasn't very strong from my 8th floor room). I also like the fact that, unlike the Hilton, all of the rooms are non-smoking. I didn't receive any PRICELINE attitude from the staff (I actually received a thank you note from the housekeeper for leaving a tip :) ). It's an unspectacular hotel, but solid and an excellent value at PL rates. I'm pretty sure that your friend will have no problems with this place.
