Hotwire Hotel: 3* Portland (Airport PDX Entrance-Cascade Station) Aloft Cascade Stn

[mdiver65]

Hi all,

Need some help identifying 3* PDX Airport-Cascade Station Entrance January 8-11, 2010 at $48 per night. Amenities include:

-Airport Shuttle

-Fitness Center

-Business Center

-High Speed Internet Access

When I originally looked up rates, a pool was included so I thought for sure it was the Aloft. Now, I'm not too sure. Does Hotwire "hide" amenities to throw you off a bit sometimes?

I also see for the dates 1/9-11 this same 3* at the same price is recommended by 90% in customer reviews but for some reason it doesn't show that for 1/8-11.

Help!! Any thoughts? Thank you!!!!

My guess is that this property is 'hiding' some of its amenities...

If you change your search to 2adults/2children a 'new' 3* hotel appears in this zone for the same price with:

Shuttle, Smoke Free, Fitness, Pool, Business, Internet

Other than the Smoke Free icon, this matches previous reports for the aLoft at Cascade Station, and since this property is indeed smoke free, that would be my best guess. As well, when search for 2adults/2childre a 4.5/5.0 Tripadvisor rating is shown, and this is consistent with the aloft as well.

If you're interested in this property it would be better to purchase as 2adults/2children since that is the 'stronger' match for this hotel.

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.

Therueare...THANK YOU!!! I changed my search to 2 adt/2 chd per your suggestion and all the original amenities listed were back! And...yes, the hotel is the Aloft...exactly what I wanted.

Everything above is what I booked. 3 nights at $48 a night. Again, thank you!!

Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that we were able to help.

I can confirm these were the amenities offered when I purchased the hotel BASED ON 2 Adults/2 Children:

Airport Shuttle

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Business Center

High-speed Internet Access

I had an excellent stay at the aLoft and highly recommend it. The rooms are a bit on the small side and it would have been nice to have a hot tub/spa (only a heated pool-and no tub in the room-only shower) to come back to after a day of skiing on Mt. Hood but for the $48 nightly rate I found it to be an excellent value. Thanks again for all your help!!
