A few other options than hotels......

or for most likely the cheaper/alternative route

Single rooms are about 50ish bucks but dorm beds are 20ish.
This one is in the NE but not too far.

The Jupiter hotel might be a bit on the expensive end but it seems pretty hip

So some of these may work better than others. If anyone has any questions about specifics don't hesitate to contact us.

Where to stay: Hotels and Guesthouses
A few folks have been asking us where they should stay.
Firstly, lemme tell you about our area of Portland.
Portland is divided up into North, Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest. Our favorite, and where we live, is the Southeast section of Portland. We live just south of the Woodstock neighborhood, in a district called Brentwood-Darlington.
Nearby west/east streets include Flavel and Johnson Creek to the south, and Duke, Woodstock, Steele, Harold, Holgate to the north of us. We're not far from Powell either, and Powell is kind of midway between us and the wedding events. We're on 68th Street, and the closer you get to the river, the lower the number. The further from the river, the higher the number, and the closer you are to a suburb named Gresham.
The wedding events will be around the Hawthorne and Division areas, near 50th and 60th Streets. This area is about 20 minutes from our house.
Hopefully, if these hotels and guestrooms are full or not to your liking, that description of the area will help you with location based hotel decisions.
On to our list!

This is on 77th and Powell, which is not the greatest area, but it's definitely not the worst.

This is actually in Clackamas, Oregon, which is where Steph works. It's a 10-15 minute drive from our house, and near highway 205. A pretty straight shot from the airport to the hotel, it would only take you 20-30 minutes to make the drive once you got your rental car at the airport. It had good reviews. It's maybe 40 minutes away from Steph's uncle's home in Gresham, so not the best location if you want to visit those folks too.
Holiday Inn Express, Portland
9707 SE Stark St
Portland, OR 97216
