You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when visiting Southwest Portland. Hoyt Arboretum is a good place to kick off here, but there are many other worthwhile spots to check out. Oregon Zoo, Portland State University, and Portland Japanese Garden are not far from the nature reserve and will top off your day nicely.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,667 reviews)

It is downtown in a good area for dining and walking. The famous Powell’s Bookstore is nearby. It is a classic hotel. Unfortunately, the economics of providing parking in the downtown environment requires that they charge $30/day extra to park your car. The mattress on our bed was very saggy in the middle, but I saw stacks of new mattresses in the basement car garage ready to be installed. I assume the problem will be taken care of shortly.
