Score of City:
5.0 / 5

A cultural jewel of the Pacific Northwest, Portland has experience record breaking growth in popularity with leisure and business travelers for the last four consecutive years. It is a city unlike any other, even sporting the unofficial slogan of “Keep Portland Weird”. It is hailed as a mecca for foodies and nature lovers, while fortunately managing to keep tourism prices low despite its rapid growth. One of Portland's most convenient features is that the downtown area and the Portland International Airport are located a quick 15 minute drive away from each other, so choosing from the large variety of affordable airport hotels over the downtown options is an easy way to save money without inconveniencing your group. If driving is not an option, Portland's public transportation is exceptionally well developed and very easy to use.

When to Visit Portland, OR

The best time to visit Portland is between June and August, when the city enjoys clear weather and warm temperatures. The outdoor markets are in full swing, the gardens are in bloom, and the weather is ideal for exploring the outdoors. However, because summer is the best time to visit, it's also the hardest time to get a good deal on a hotel room. Rates are higher and hotels tend to fill up quickly, so it's a good idea to make your reservations early to ensure you get the best deal possible.If you want to get out and explore the city, but you also want a good deal on a room, try to plan your visit to Portland between March and May or September and November. While spring in Portland brings warmer temperatures, it also brings scattered rain showers. You'll find some good deals since you won't have to battle summer crowds, but it's a good idea to pack layers since you never know what the weather will bring.In the fall, summer tourist business tends to drop, and so do the hotel rates. Yet, with September temperatures in the mid-70s, it's still an enjoyable time to see the city.If you're a winter sports enthusiast, take some time between December and February to travel to Portland. Nearby Mount Hood gets plenty of snow during these months, and it's a popular spot for skiers and snowboarders. Since the weather is typically cold and rainy in the city, the tourists tend to stay away, so you can score a good deal on a hotel room.

Portland, OR in a nutshell

Portland has been a city filled with art and science for years, and it is not going to stop anytime soon. Besides, art and science does not necessarily mean only art galleries and boring museums. No, in Portland, everything also has style. One of the things Portland is proud of is its extensive art collection held at the Portland Art Museum, known to be one of the largest in Oregon. Though the said museum is quite impressive, it is not the only gallery in the city as guests can also visit the Alberta Arts District and Pearl District for displays. Visitors can also enjoy a scenic walk around the Portland Classical Chinese Garden, which is this authentic depiction of China's Suzhou walled gardens. If guests visit Portland in June, they have a chance to be a part of the Portland Rose Festival, which boasts of having parades, carnival rides, and dragon races to boot. Enjoying Portland isn't really rocket science since all you have to do is let the city do what it does best. If that does not do the trick, then perhaps the Oregon Brewers Festival held every July will!

'What you can and cannot achieve is none of anybody else's business. You need to tell that to yourself first. Get over the social dependence for your dreams and until you don't, stop even dreaming. Dreams are meant for those who can actually achieve them. Otherwise call them simple reveries!

Steve Jobs, the man and the personality behind Apple, was a tough motivator and perhaps the best entrepreneur the world has ever seen. Throughout the world, his words of wisdom still float “ years after his demise “ and that, perhaps, is his biggest contribution to the global society “ even bigger than his iPhones, iPods and iPads. The words quoted above were said by Steve while addressing a group of graduating students in a university in New York. 

Steve Jobs was born, however, in Portland, Oregon “ and that fact defined much of life. Despite having all the wealth in the world, his simple ways of leading an ordinary life “ from his famed turtleneck to his ordinary cars “ are much talked about. But a lot of its credit should go to Portland, the home city that taught him lessons in simplicity the hard way. 

The biggest ˜beef' that locals have with their home city is a rather adorable one “ the name itself. Because of the very fact that ˜Portland' has become such a generic name in the United States that pretty much every other state has a town or a city named the same, further diminishing the unique-stock of Portland, Oregon. 

But apart from that, this is a city that really enrich you with its beauty and serenity as any other city in the world. Located off the Pacific North West Coast of the country, it is the second largest American city in the region, next only to Seattle. From exquisitely snow-capped mountains to national parks and woods that can still be quite difficult to penetrate, Portland has got it all. 

Budget Hotels and Affordable Inns in Portland

Despite being the capital of Oregon, tourists might have to struggle a little bit in order to find a perfect blend of cheap hotels and decent enough lodges in Portland.   

Whatever is available in the name of cheap hotels is either too good to be true (which often is the case) or just simply avoidable. But getting rid of those shady options from our discussion, allow us to focus on the job at hand “ finding the best affordable Portland hotels. 

Our research that included intense scrutiny of the hospitality scene in the city as well as the word of mouth generated by tourists who have actually been to Portland has yielded some fantastic results. The Mark Spencer is our favorite pick among all of these, as it gives you the best you can have in Portland on two important counts “ convenience and affordability. 

Up next, we have a slightly different candidate. Oxford Suites Inn is a curious mix between luxury suites of a good resort and low prices of a highway inn. Its location is good enough to allow you to access all that Portland has to offer quite easily. 

Seeking Luxury in Portland: Not a Bad Idea 

Staying in a magical and majestic city like Portland is good as it is. You can, however, top that experience off by staying at a truly luxury hotel that will transform your stay in Portland from a mere ˜good' to more emphasized and more pronounced ˜excellent'.

We would be the first ones to agree with the fact that staying at luxury hotels in Portland has all the potential to imbalance one's budget easily. If that's the case with you, you can always consider chopping and changing your hotel plans in order to optimize the whole deal. The point to be made here is that, while you are visiting Portland, make sure that you spend at least one weekend at any luxury resort!

The Frontier days of Portland can be lived through and experienced in the Old Town of Portland, where the dusty boardwalks and corner salons still exists.

Being an artist myself, I love the quirky creative touches in almost every nook and cranny whether it's a public sculpture, architectural embellishment or groovy boutique or restaurant. Even the citizens are creative. People are very friendly and helpful. Lots to see and do from the parks to the bridges to music offerings to the museum, galleries. And man, talk about food and drink! Heavens! I feel so huge after a weekend here trying to sample everything I possibly could! One of the best things that I've enjoyed ever since first visiting the city over 40 years ago (which I'm glad to see still exists!) is the ease with which one can be out of the city into farmland or forest! Love Portland. Couldn't ever consider living in a city again but if I had to, this would be the one!
