This place is in walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and a few breweries. The check in process was very simple, though the place is a little difficult to find at night as it's hidden further into the lot and behind some trees. It's very quaint and clean, and the property associates are responsive.
Parking isn't too bad, but know that it's in a downtown area where spaces might be tight, and confidence in your parrallel parking skills may be needed.
Portland is an awesome city with so many things to see and do, so don't depend on solely walking and public transportation. You'll definitely need a car or the knowledge to use Lyft/Uber.
