    And also, I drove past the Venue and into Portland on my way home from Seattle.

    It's took 8 Minutes and was 9 miles w/ Light traffic to get to into Portland proper. So 15 min to downtown.

    The above hotel is right downtown and seems like a bargin at $66 a night.

    I live in Portland so I don't stay in hotels but people might like the Doug Fir or the Kennedy School experience. Both in 'hip' areas and have cool bars or whatnot. Just my two pennies.

    Kennedy School is awesome, but booked (I checked). :(

    how far is downtown Portland from the Airport, Im coming in on Saturday at 11am and then I have to be at the airport the next morning at 5am OUCH! Im literally just going for the show and staying less than 24 hours in Portland, I think I may be better off booking a hotel right by the airport?

    What do you guys think?

    From downtown to the Airport is about 13 miles. For drive time your looking at around 15-20 minutes, especially that early in the morning.

    well Ill be driving probably around 4:30am ... :shock:
    My flight leaves back to Miami @ 6am, I might look into some downtown hotels rather than staying by the airport, but wait! now the questions is, when you are driving back from the venue, do you go by the airport first or downtown? that may be the deciding factor on where I stay :D

    Yes you would pass by the airport on your way back from the venue to downtown.

    Geographically, it would be the Ampitheater which is on the North side of the Columbia River, then the Airport which is on the South side of the Columbia River and then downtown Portland.

    Since you're only in town for such a short time, it may make more sense to stay by the airport. There's not a lot to do out there but you're only here for 24 hours. Plus, I would think rooms might be cheper at the airport. And you could always drive downtown if you get bored. The one nice thing about the Portland airport is that the rental cars are right on site, you don't need to take one of those rental cars buses to go pick up your car.

    The Airport is not on the way home from the Venue unless you take I-205. If you take I-5 which is what you would do if you are staying in Portland, it's not on the way. It's more like a triangle with the Venue to the north, Portland to the South and the Airport half way in between to the East.

    Yeah Im thinking that's the way Im going to go, Ima book a hotel by the airport and then drive downtown and probably stay there during the day and then stop by the hotel and drop our bags on the way to the venue, im not planning on going out after the show as I would probably miss my flight if I party until the wee hours of the morning :lol: or if there is an after party we might not even book a hotel maybe we'll just go to the party and then off to the Airport and sleep on the place :mrgreen:

    so what do you recommend? should I just stay our and go party after the show and then go straight to the airport and recoup my sleep on the plane? :D

    You know I'm there + 1!!!! Will finally get to meet Urs and husband...excited! I have to get back to Seattle early the next day. I'm not so sure I want to drive all the way back after the show so I might grab a room in Vancouver instead of gaining negative yardage by going to Portland.

    Mrs Vedder78,

    Stay by the airport. If you're flying out that early you don't want to stay downtown. And whoever said it was a triangle was right. The airport is on the Portland side of the river but it is east. Downtown is directly south from the venue. Have a great time at the show, go to the airport and crash. If you had more than 24 hours in Portland, then I'd stay downtown.
