Intymike Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 What Hotel would you recommend if a guy from far away would visit the PRGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SoulBuster Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) I booked at the 'Inn at the Convention Center'. It is cheap and across the street from the Convention Center. It is clean, but not classy like the 'Hotel Eastlund' (also across the street), but I am only sleeping there anyway, so who cares. $530 for Oct 19 -23. 4 nights. $115 a night plus taxes.

+Lathe26 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 If you plan to only stay a couple days for the Expo or you plan to buy a huge pile of loot, get a hotel on the east side of the river near the Oregon Convention Center. If you plan stay longer and check out the city, get a hotel on the west side of the river in the downtown area. There are more walking distance restaurants, shops, etc. Portland's streetcar/lightrail service is great and drops you off right next to the Convention Center on the days you need it. My wife and I prefer to stay at the Crystal Hotel on the west side of the river. It is connected to McMenamin's brewery so the restaurant has both great breakfast and dinner food. They also have a soaking pool in the basement (wonderful after a long day of standing on the convention's concrete floor). However, only the queen-mattress rooms have their own bathrooms so book early (double-mattress rooms have communial bathrooms, though there are many per floor). https://www.mcmenamins.com/crystal-hotel This advice is free; remember that you get what you pay for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I used hotel points to stay that the Crowne Plaza, and I'll probably do that again this year. This picture shows the closest hotels: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerSpaceFan Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I used hotel points to stay that the Crowne Plaza, and I'll probably do that again this year. I second the Crowne Plaza vote. We always stay there. Awesome hotel (but slightly on the pricier side) and best of all within walking distance of the Convention Center so it's super convenient to haul your loot back to your room.

+cmart604 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I've said this on the podcast a couple of times and on the forums too but the Hotel Eastlund was awesome and super close. I never once had to use the horrible bathroom of death at the show. Lol! Mike, great to hear you're thinking of going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Here's the short answer: Portland has whatever type of hotel you want. Super nice and next to the Convention Center, go with Hotel Eastlund Cheap and near the Convention Center, go with Motel 6 Eclectic with great breakfast / dinner and a soaking pool in the downtown area, go with Crystal Hotel Hipster, local bands, and $200 romance packages with "toys" for those surprise visits by CMart or Rev, go with Jupiter Hotel ... and there are plenty of other hotels as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This picture shows the closest hotels: hotel near convention center.jpg I liked the Crowne Plaza too, walking distance to the Expo and a Liquor Store and legalized Marijuana shop on the way back! For the record I did not stop at either of those! Just kidding.....not really! Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
