Call the hotel for reservations (503-221-0140 or 1-866-845-4647), and ask for the “COSUGI Consortia” Room Block (rate of $99 per night plus 15.3% tax). Please note that the block date is: check in 9/27 & check out 9/30 2017. If guests need to stay before the block date, please let the hotel agent know the block starts on 9/27 if not, the hotel agent will not see the block. Your cutoff date is 8/27 2017.
Travel:
Portland traffic is horrible, and hotel parking is $3 an hour, $12 a day, or $15 overnight. I highly recommend Portland’s public transit system; it’s awesome. https://trimet.org/
$2.50 for 2.5 hours or $5 for all day.
You can take the MAX light rail from the airport terminal to the stop right in front of the conference hotel with one change near Pioneer Square. There is also a street car that can get you all around downtown. Both share the same fare tickets.
