Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Portland (Downtown) Marriott City Center

[resipsa99]

I used the PRICELINE links on this site to start my bidding.

Saw that people were getting the 4* Vintage Plaza for $49-52 for January stays. Had previously stayed at the Courtyard downtown (3*) for $49 and thought it was great for the price.

Jan 31 tried $39/night for 3.5* Downtown Portland - unsuccessful

Feb 1 tried $43/night for 4* Downtown Portland - unsuccessful

Added 3.5* at $45/night, still unsuccessful

Feb 2 tried $49/night for 4* Downtown Portland - unsuccesful

Added 3.5*, stayed at $49/night and was successful (total $174.87 for the 3 night stay)

It gave the option of extending at the same rate (but didn't use it).

Best price on the Marriott Site - $99/night plus taxes. We're happy at $49, tho I had myself thinking we'd get the Vintage Plaza. Hope that this Marriott is as nice as the Courtyard we stayed at in the summer - that one had just opened, and should have been a 3.5* in our opinion.

Thanks to the site and other posters - this information is critical to getting a great deal!
