People often do things in hotels that they would never do in their own homes, such as sleep soundly, watch Marley and Me, or let the kids drink as much shampoo as they want. Let loose with today's Groupon to Comfort Suites Southwest, located off Interstate 5. Choose between the following options:

• For $75, you get a one-night stay in a two-queen suite for a family of four plus four tickets (two adult tickets, two children's tickets) to the Oregon Zoo (up to a $151.99 value).
• For $80, you get a one-night stay in a king jacuzzi suite and a bottle of champagne (a $160 value).

The road-warrior caretakers at Comfort Suites Southwest drape guests in hospitality, letting them bathe at will in free coffee, high-speed WiFi, a heated indoor pool, and a hot tub. Family-suite guests can burn off the gratis continental breakfast with a bounce-duel on two queen beds or a more traditional workout in the exercise room. Laundry facilities assist with cleanup of juice spills, and copy machines are handy for duplicating word searches and favorite passages from the stroller-repair manual. Families can prepare for a trip to the zoo—or other nearby attractions such as the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry and the historic Pittock Mansion—by watching educational cable-TV programs or by comparing monkey faces with the friendly front-desk staff.

The king jacuzzi suite furnishes itinerants with a royalty-size sleep platform, a desk and chair, and a mini fridge. Tense travelers can sink into an in-room jacuzzi to unwind, then peruse the complimentary newspaper for interesting world events or typos. Comfort Suites Southwest also vies for visitor approbation by stocking suites with a spread of amenities, including a coffeemaker and microwave.
