Air Travel
Reserve your air travel as soon as possible. Portland International Airport (PDX) is the closest major airport located just 9 miles from the hotel.  We recommend that you contact Blue Star Transportation at +1 503 249 1837 for airport/hotel transportation needs or take a taxi.

The MAX Light Rail is the most cost effective way to get from the airport to the hotel, however, please note that the closest light rail stop is .5 miles away from the hotel (Morrison/SW 3rd Ave Station) and it would take approximately an hour to get to the hotel.  Using a combination of Light Rail and bus transportation you can eliminate the walking time, but should still plan on an hour of travel time.

TriMet Trip Planner should help you plan your trip from the airport to the hotel.

Ground Transportation and Parking
Valet Parking is available at the Marriott for $28/day (self-parking is not available on-site).  There are several other parking garages located within 2 blocks of the hotel with lower daily rates.  Locations include: SW 1st Street between SW Clay and SW Columbia, SW 3rd Street between SW Clay and SW Columbia and SW 1st Street between SW Madison and SW Main.

The Portland Streetcar, the MAX Light Rail and bus lines can easily connect attendees to wherever they want to go in Portland.

Directions from Portland International Airport (PDX) to the Hotel.
