Top hotels in East Portland
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portland Airport
It’s under construction right now so it’s hard to get into the building. He had to go through a tight parking lot but other than that it was convenient and has a pool in hot tub. The price is perfect.

Super 8 by Wyndham Portland Airport
It served the purpose, breakfast is not stocked so don’t count on that. As advertised. It is reasonable but a long walk to train to get into town.
