The Paramount Hotel
Not sure I want to shout out too loudly how much I love this hotel because I want to continue to have accessibility. It’s proximity to the PAM makes it my home-away-from-home anchor to my Portland adventures.

Red Lion Hotel Portland Airport
Parking was easy only thing is when leaving the parking lot you cannot go back the same way as in even though the map says you can. Staff was very friendly and the stay was quiet.

Mark Spencer Hotel
The location allows you to walk to the water front, the weather machine, we were able to take in the Saturday market. I highly recommend this. The staff are awesome. The wine and music on Fridays and Saturdays was excellent.
