Me and my friend are taking a trip up to Portland and are confused with what area to stay in. Many hotels in places like Llyod Center are nice but out of our price range. We are not going to have a car. We want to be near the rose garden, downtown and other trendy shopping streets. We want to avoid bad areas of town.
Our price range is $100 or less per night. We are going in early May.
What part of Portland,Oregon would be a good location for two people in thier lates 20s?
There is a Hotel called the Washington Park inn. I have added a link to the hotel below. They do not have their own website but it has information on the website. I had to live in hotels for a while here and I really liked that place. If you get a two bed room you have a view of Downtown, it is just down the hill from Washington Park and it is a few blocks from trendy NW Portland. There is allot of shopping on NW 21'st and NW 23'rd. You are in walking distance to Downtown and it is quiet. The prices are the same as the cheapest worst roach junkie hotels downtown!
For areas to check out for your age range there is a few districts. NW is good and you can walk their. Downtown is always nice and you can also walk their. There is the Pearl district, that is where all the art shops are and it is new but nice. Hawthorn and Belmont are in SE Portland and it is more hippie like and urban than NW Portland. Broadway in NE Portland has a little thing going for it self. All you really have to do is walk around and people are really friendly here and if you ask someone what their is fun to do they will have answers for you. On Saturday and Sunday there is the Saturday Market downtown at Skidmore Fountain, that can be allot of fun but is not a place you would want to be at night or when the market is not taking place. If you want to go bar hopping in downtown on third ave. all the way through downtown is most of the night clubs and bars. You can really enjoy yourself their. China town is still downtown below the pearl district but you would want to most likely stick to that area during the day. There is a big crack problem in that area of town. The city has been trying to clean it up but I don’t think they will ever leave. In China town though there is the Chinese gardens and they are really beautiful. In Washington Park there is the Rose Gardens and when you are going to be in town at the perfect time to see it and right next to it is the Japanese Gardens and on the other side or Washington Park is the Oregon Zoo, you can waste a day there easy. If you want a hotel that is a bit more hip and urban with a restaurant and bar in the hotel than there is the Jupiter Hotel. A link is also provided below. They are more expensive but they are really nice. The Queen Standard Non Smoking room in May is $104 a night. It is worth it. The Washington Park Hotel is about 50 a night!
I hope I was helpfull and have fun in my lovely town!

Reply:www.travelportland.com is another good place to start looking. If you stay on the westside/downtown area you can always get around most of the city very easily with the MAX and street car system. I love hotel Lucia (www.hotellucia.com) as well, but it might be a little more than you want to spend, but it is worth it.
Reply:The best place to go is the Jupiter Hotel:

Reply:Why not try this place and save by staying in an older motel in a great central location. You will not need a car. You can check out other places through the site. http://reservations.hotel-guides.us/hote...
