Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Portland International Airport, OR
The proximity of the airport is super convenient. Parking was easy, but they do charge $10 a night extra. The only downside was the door to our room was not the right fit for the doorway. There was large gap.

Hotel Eastlund, BW Premier Collection
One of our favorite places for the Wife and I to go for a quick date night or weekend getaway from the house, kids, and dogs. Centrally placed in the city. Walk to a Blazer/Fire game or hop the bridge into DT Portland. Or stay in, and take water breaks for nourishment at the rooftop bar. Either way ...
