Overlook Park offers a nice contrast to the fast pace of urban life. Go for a wander around the grounds or kick off your shoes and feel the grass under your feet.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when visiting North Portland. Overlook Park is an ideal place to kick off here, but there are numerous other worthy places to check out. Oregon Zoo, Portland State University, and Portland Japanese Garden are not far from the recreation and green space and will top off your day nicely.

The hotel is older, when we got to our room, the room was not cleaned. It was stains everywhere and the room had a smell. We ended up moving to another room, that one was a little better. The staff were nice and kind. It’s extremely noisy, but that’s expected staying on a main street.

Great hotel! The snacks with sensors were super frustrating, I would much rather have the fridge to put my own things than drinks that trigger a sensor and charge me when I move them around. This caused me to have to walk down to the check in to sort it out, they still didn’t take the charges off and I had to call when I got home to remove them. Otherwise this is a very nice spot to stay in Portland!

Popular places to visit

There are two monstrous bridges that cut through the center of Portland, dragging the Interstate by-pass with them. They pretty much decimated the neighborhoods they were built over, at least at the time. Many of those neighborhoods are back, some better than ever. And the bridges remain. This one spans the northern half of the city. The other, called the Marquam, spans the south.
