Choose This Comfort Suites When in Astoria, OR

My dear polite travelers,

After days of driving through Northern California, Oregon, and Washington, we’re now on our way home. Lucky for us, we have arrived in Astoria, Oregon baby!! Woo-hoo! To label the views of the city as beautiful, or exceptional, would be modest. The Columbia River is precious. And our choice of hotel, for this visit, is perfect: Comfort Suites Columbia River.

Room #321

Our room overlooks the majestic and wild Columbia River. Songs of sea lions made it even wilder, especially at night. Yep, they sang all night. This wasn’t an issue for my hubby or me, but it might be for you.

Other than the pinniped serenade, the room was clean and had two queen beds—even though we booked a king—a desk, extra counter space, storage, plenty of outlets, and adequate seating. A refrigerator and microwave rounded it all up. It was a comfortable room after a long drive.

The Hotel

Because we arrived so late, we just wanted to check in, find a decent restaurant, and then veg in our comfy room with a view. Finding a restaurant within walking distance was preferable. The lovely woman at the front desk gave us excellent advice and we were on our way to a satisfying meal. Other than that, the hotel has a gym, an accessible indoor pool, and a spa and is only one mile from downtown Astoria.

Note

This hotel, and most other Choice properties we stayed in, is pet friendly and accessible.

The Free Breakfast

This was one of our better breakfasts. The choices of yogurt were excellent with adequate-sized Chobani, good bread selection, typical pastries, waffles, eggs, and chunks of lean ham.

Will I Return?

Absolutely. With this crazy one-night-only road trip, I look forward to returning to explore Astoria. It’s lovely here and the hotel is excellent.

Until next time, my polite travelers: Happy Travels!

Venue Review: Hilton Hawaiian Village

Unexpected Upgrade at Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Hotel Revised 4/2021 Dear Polite Traveler, For our most recent visit to the “Gathering Place”, better known as Oahu, we decided to split our ten-day stay between two excellent Hilton properties: Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel ( review ) and Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Hotel. During our stay at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel, I thought it couldn’t get any better. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Nevertheless, Hilton surprised us once more. Note : Follow CDC and county guidelines when visiting. Always wear your face mask when in public. We’re upgraded to where? Yep, because we are Hilton Honors members, we were upgraded again to...wait for it…the Ali’i Tower! Breathe, breathe. Amazing upgrade. Here’s a bit of the background about this excellent upgrade. Earlier this year, my husband noticed an unbelievable half-price deal on suites at the...

Arizona: The Grand Canyon

Four Hours Visiting The Grand Canyon Updated 4/2021 I have an idea why the Grand Canyon is called “Grand”. I theorize it’s because “Awesome Canyon” sounds more like stoner talk. Joking aside, it is quite awesome and grand. Recently, I was lucky enough to have a few hours to gaze wide-eyed at our big hole in the ground. Since we (hubby & I) had only four precious hours, please follow along with what I found most important to see. Note : Follow CDC and all park guidelines when visiting. Wear a mask and social distance. First Stop The first place to stop for those with limited time would be the visitor’s center. Don’t worry about missing it. There are plenty of signs pointing the way. There, we found information offering park rangers, giant exhibits (displaying the entire canyon, trip planners, canyon-related history, and science), and a movie theater...

Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa Review

Art, Excellent Service & Penguins...Oh My My Dear Polite Travelers, Maui has experienced some horrific natural disasters, including a devastating fire and, more recently, torrential rain that caused severe flooding. However, none of that was visible during my last visit. The Hyatt Regency Maui Resort is a huge, richly landscaped, multi-building beauty. It includes a 40-acre oceanfront lagoon and a waterslide into a children’s splashpad. However, I saw many more adults enjoying the splashpad than children. It did look inviting. Directly adjacent to the lobby is a penguin den. Guests are invited to watch a daily penguin presentation. I enjoyed watching them play. They are quite adorable. Dining & Shopping In the main building, you’ll find multiple shops, including a gallery filled with unique and quite excellent art. My favorite shop was actually Honolulu Coffee . As a family-owned,...
