Guest Hotel Arrangements.

A block of rooms has been reserved at a discounted rate ($129/$139 for King/Double Queen or $149/$159 for Suite King/Suite Double Queen) at the Phoenix Grand Hotel in Salem.  To make your reservation, just call them at 877.540.7800 and ask for the Frank/Huff wedding block.  Rooms must be reserved 30 days prior to the wedding (approximately August 5th, 2009) to guarantee the rate.  Coach transportation will be provided between the hotel and vineyard since they are about 10 miles apart and we'd like our guests to relax and enjoy the ceremony and reception. If you are coming from out of town and wish to spend some time in Portland, prior to coming to Salem, here are a few hotel recommendations for you:

The Benson Hotel - A Portland classic featuring an excellent restaurant and lounge.

The Nines - Portland's newest luxury hotel.

Hotel deLuxe - A favorite of some out of town friends, this hotel also features a great restaurant and outstanding cocktails in a swanky lounge. 

Embassy Suites Downtown - Great location and suite style rooms.

There are rumors that McMenamins is restoring an old hotel in downtown Portland that may be open prior to the wedding.  There are several other Mcmenamins properties in the area that are unique or just stop in for a beer and burger while you're in town.  Richard and my dad love the Wilbur!  Mom and I prefer the Communication Breakdown burger.

You'll need to book directly with the Phoenix Grand to get our room rate, but consider making other travel plans on Expedia and use Trip Advisor for any research. (My Expedia Inc. stock could use a boost!)

Don't hesitate to reach out to either of us if you need help with your travel plans.
