<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/whobokenjerz.jpg" class="top"> We admit that some of us at HotelChatter hate on Jersey every now and again and we're only half serious when we say that the soon-to-open (er, hopefully) <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+Hotel+Hoboken/local/753">W Hoboken</a> had better bring its A-Game with a good nightlife scene if they expect to lure us off the sparkling isle of Manhattan.

Portland: Inside The Nines Hotel in Portland

We hit up the brand, spankin' new Nines Hotel in Portland this weekend.

A full review is coming tomorrow, but we'll spoil the ending for you: we loved it.

Sochi, a Russian vacation spot along the Black Sea coast that was recently selected to host the 2014 Winter Olympics, will be the home of a brand new Sheraton slated to open in 2011. The Sheraton Sochi will be the brand's second property in the Russian Federation (there's one in Moscow already), and the hotel will be located at the center of the city with 188 guest rooms, 24 suites, five restaurants and four bars, including a rooftop bar overlooking the Black Sea. Sexy. We hope they're putting in heat lamps up there. The lobby will, like most new Sheratons,

This may actually be the first time since your 21st that you've been happier to be on the older side: on two or three-night stays at select Starwood properties in Boston, New England, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, you can score your second or third (notice we said or, not "and") night at a rate equal to the last two digits of your birth year.
