Hyatt House Portland/Downtown
Great stay! Our room was clean, staff was friendly— only thing that was challenging was parking. $50+ for parking was wiiild! Thankfully there were 2 parking garages across the steeet for half the price. We got lucky the other 2 nights we found street parking which was free after 8pm-8am.
