Where to Stay

Just a few ideas for places to stay while you're in Portland. The wedding is in Hillsboro, west of Portland, so if you choose to stay close to the wedding, you will be distant from Portland itself: ie, away from most of the fun stuff to do and civilization as we've come to recognize it.

But if you want to stay in Hillsboro, here are a few options close to the site:

Residence Inn By Marriott Portland West
18855 Tanasbourne Drive Hillsboro, OR 503-531-3200

Red Lion Hillsboro Hotel
3500 NE Cornell Rd Hillsboro, OR 503-648-3500

Holiday Inn Express Hillsboro
5900 NORTHEAST RAY CIRCLE Hillsboro, OR 503-844-9696

In Portland, we recommend you stay relatively close to the city center--the airport is far north, though the MAX train will bring you into town if need be. It's more expensive to stay west of the river than on the east side. There are many options around the Convention Center and the Lloyd District that offer easy access to public transportation, all the major thoroughfares, and any amenities you may desire.

Our parents, when they come to visit, like to stay at this place:

Residence Inn Portland
1710 NE Multnomah St. 503-288-1400

Here are a few more options:

Inn at the Convention Center
420 N.E. Holiday Street Portland, OR 503-233-6331

Courtyard By Marriott Portland Downtown-Lloyd Center
435 Northeast Wasco Street Portland, OR 503-234-3200

La Quinta Portland Convention Center
431 NE Multnomah Portland, OR 503-531-5900

Red Lion Hotel Portland Convention Center
1021 NE Grand Avenue Portland, OR 503-235-2100

Attention hipsters and homesick bohemians:

1022 SW Stark StPortland, OR 97205 503-228-2277

Jupiter Hotel
800 E Burnside StPortland, OR 97214 503-230-9200
