The Downtowner was fantastic. It's right across the street from MAX, so getting anywhere in Portland is extremely easy. It's very spacious and has all of the things that you'll need to live in Portland for a few days. If you're too tired to go out, there are a ton of food trucks right out back where you can grab a quick snack.

If I go to Portland again, I'm definitely going to try and stay in The Downtowner.
