Given our relatively late arrival into Oslo, we decided to stay at the airport the first night. I'm sure we could have headed into the city, but with three tired kiddos this seemed like a good option. And the Oslo airport has two very convenient hotels -- you can walk to both the Park Inn…

I am wondering what your rate was. I am getting quotes of over $400 a night at either attached property for a layover night in late May. I found a room at the Scandic OSL near the airport for around $200. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the timely review Travis! We're staying there next week. @ Mark F, our rate was around $100
@ Bill thanks. It must be the date (May 31) as several hotels in the area were sold out. Park Inn is now quoting $450 a night. $100 or so would have been a no brainer choice.
Thanks Travis. Great timing for me as well. Staying there in May. I think I am paying a bit more than $100 but definitely less than $200. 23 1/2 hours between flights (worked hard to keep it under 24 to fit within Star Alliance layover rules).
Regards from the Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen--if you haven't been there with the kids yet, they'd like it.
Our rate was a little over $100. For the dates I was looking at (all in the winter), the Park Inn and Radisson Blu had similar rates, with the Park Inn just a bit cheaper. We spent a night at the Radisson Blu the night before we left, so I'll have that review shortly. Both are great hotels.
@Mark F - Priceline, Booking.com, and Agoda are all showing $244/night + tax = $269 for a standard room on May 31. This is a bit lower 2795 NOK ($336 USD) rate they are showing direct through Carlson Rezidor. If you check the T&C, in theory, you should be able to file a best rate guarantee claim which would allow you to book through Carlson Rezidor, get a price match + 25% off the lower rate bringing the price down to $183 + tax for your stay.
I had a 1 night stay there in 2015 and had a totally different experience. Gold status not recognized, no upgrade, no fruit plate, room in the back of the first floor with no window, just a curtain across the wall. The red curtain hanging near the bed had suspicious stains on it as well. And the curved shower door doesn't go all the way to the floor or enclose the shower, so water flooded the entire bathroom floor. I would try the Blu next time.
The breakfast buffet was nice though.
@am13, thanks! This is awesome. Plus, I was accidentally converting Danish Krones to get $450. Appreciate the tips.
