My company and I were in town for a conference at the Oregon Convention Center. The Carriage House worked out perfectly for us. It's a 10min car or 30min walk to the convention. Our CEO had his 5yr old with him, so we wanted a place that felt more residential, as opposed to the urban feel you get from the hotels around the convention center.
We enjoyed being in a walkable neighborhood with huge trees, beautiful houses, and businesses within walking distance.
A personal highlight was Twisted Croissant, a few blocks away. They had some of the best breakfast pastries I've ever had.
