    • Review: Loved that the hotel's shuttle will take you anywhere within 1 mile of the hotel, and the drivers could not be nicer. It is "first come first serve" EXCEPT when you need an airport shuttle, and you need to get on the schedule...calling the front desk. So a bit of a mixed message that scared us into making it onto the schedule so we could make our flight the next day. This feature alone made staying here worthwhile so we did not have to rent a car to see what we wanted in Portland.
