captain_c Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 Hi, I need help ID'ing a hotel.Location: Downtown Portland HotelDate: March 8th-March 9th (1 Night)Rooms: 1Adults: 1Rate: $68Amenities: Restaurant, Business Center, High-speed Internet AccessHotwire Ratings: Recommended in 85% of customer reviews, Overall Satisfaction: 4.5Does it matter, if I choose 2 Adults, and only one person stays (still not sure yet.) I found the rate changes to $65 from $68 if I choose "two adults" instead of one. I realise it could change the hotel all together, but it looks like the exact same place.I'm thinking it may be the Portland Hilton and Towers. The Hilton website lists the hotel as 100% non-smoking which I want, but it does not show up on Hotwire.Thanks for any help you can give. I am debating between staying here, or just driving a few hours to the city I have to be the next day, where that hotel works out to be the same amount.Thanks
yellowdog Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding :) Best guess for this property would be HiltonPlease use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase, and let us know how it goes or if you need any additional help with your stay.Yellowdog.
thereuare Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 Does it matter, if I choose 2 Adults, and only one person stays (still not sure yet.) I found the rate changes to $65 from $68 if I choose "two adults" instead of one.Not a problem booking for two and only one person shows up (but could be a problem if you book for only one person and show up with two). The rate change is more likely to do the variable mark-up HOTWIRE uses than an actual single/double occupancy price change from the hotel.I'm thinking it may be the Portland Hilton and Towers. The Hilton website lists the hotel as 100% non-smoking which I want, but it does not show up on Hotwire.Not all hotels show all the possible amenities offered... the biggest example of this is US based hotels which don't show a Hi-Speed Internet icon, yet this amenity is offered at just about all hotels in the United States.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!

captain_c Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks, for you help, I booked on Hotwire, and got the Hilton.When I went to go book the hotel, "fitness center" was added to the hotel amenities, and all the ratings were the same as before. Also the Trip Advisor rating of 3 1/2 was shown at the bottom of the page, which was not shown earlier in the week.Hotel: Hilton Portland and Executive TowerDate: March 8th - March 9thPrice: $65Amenities:Fitness Center Restaurant(s)Business Center High-speed Internet Access Thanks again, I'm going to recommend this site to everyone, and make sure they use the links at the top.
