I have stayed here twice for conferences at the Oregon Convention Center. Perfect location. It is just a few minutes walk to the streetcar line that runs right by the convention center, or if you head the opposite direction crosses over the river into the downtown area. There are many options for coffee and a meal within a 10 to 15 minutes walk. I recommend Pine State Biscuits for breakfast! In the same close-by neighborhood is an organic foods grocery. Check-in is very easy and Mac always is in contact to make sure everything is going well. His place is well-equipped for fixing meals, has high-speed internet, and is spacious. I'll be staying there again on future visits to Portland.
