Property was in great location, valet parking, walking distance to providence park. Friendly staff. Only disappointment was room not ready at check in so we were late getting to concert. Didn’t get into room until 4:30.

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.
