Courtyard By Marriott Portland Downtown-Lloyd Center

A convenient location for business and leisure travelers, the Courtyard by Marriott Portland Downtown, Lloyd Center is central to many of Portland's business destinations and cultural attractions. The hotel is two blocks from the Oregon Convention Center and a half mile from Lloyd Center, the area's largest mall. The Courtyard by Marriott also is close to theaters, museums and many restaurants.
Proclaimed as North America's "Best Big City," according to Money magazine, Portland combines a sophisticated, cosmopolitan atmosphere with refreshingly friendly, small-town warmth. Visitors can take advantage of the region's many outdoor recreational opportunities, including hiking, skiing, biking, and golf. Joggers and walkers can try the Floating River Walk along the Willamette River, about a 10-minute drive from the hotel. Also within the city limits is Forest Park, a 5,000-acre wilderness park with a 40-mile loop trail for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Several golf courses are within 20 minutes of the Courtyard by Marriott, including East Moreland Golf Club, Heron Lakes Golf Club, and Pumpkin Ridge.

This six-story Courtyard by Marriott offers 186 rooms and 16 suites decorated with dark-wood furnishings and traditional- print fabrics. Guestrooms feature complimentary high- speed Internet access, large desks, speakerphones and windows that open. Complimentary newspapers are delivered weekdays.
