I was attending a convention in Portland and instead of paying a fortune for a hotel in that area, I stay at the Radisson near the airport. Then I road the shuttle to the airport and caught the MAX, Portland fabulous light rail system, to the convention center each day. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. I didn't try the bar or restaurant, but did workout in a fairly nice little exercise room. But the best thing about the place is the size of the rooms. I have lived in apartments smaller than the room I had. And I got the place on priceline.com for only $49 per night. Definitely worth checking out.

Everything about this place was great, EXCEPT, the sink was in the room with the beds. I take longer to get ready than the hubby and this just doesn't work for us.

The Radisson is my family's preferred Park and Fly hotel when we have an early morning departure from PDX. The hotel is removed from the main drag of airport hotels, and is in a quiet location surrounded by office buildings. If you're finding the hotel for the first time, call and ask for directions, as it can be kind-of tricky to find on your own.

The rooms have plenty of room - both the king and two queens arrangement. We have perfected our individual "sleep numbers," but if you're unfamiliar with the Sleep Number bed, it can take some getting used to - and adjusting in the middle of the night!

If you stay in the Charles Lindbergh level, they allow you to pick up a piece of fruit and a muffin for breakfast, but we always opt to stay at the regular Park and Fly rate, and then get Starbucks once we've checked into our flight at PDX.

We have been consistently satisfied with the shuttle service to/from PDX. When you check in for a Park and Fly rate, the desk attendant will ask you to reserve your shuttle time for the following morning's departure, which allows you to have a specific time to rely on to get to PDX. The shuttles from the Radisson to PDX have always ran on-time for us. Upon returning to PDX at the end of our trip, we call the Radisson (whose number we have saved in our cell phone) and request a shuttle pick-up. Once our wait was long - 25 minutes from time of call - but usually is only 5-15 minutes after you call. It can seem like longer if you're tired, cold, or generally wanting to get to your car and get home!!

While I can't complain about the price (got a great deal on a travel bidding web site), I don't really think this hotel lived up to the Radisson standards. The room seemed a bit run down and one of the sleep number beds was not working. That being said, the staff was very professional, and the hotel offers a courtesy shuttle to the airport, which was great for late night/early morning travel.
