Lodging in PDX near the World Trade Center?

[CountryGent]

So, tentative plans to head to Portlandia very soon. Mainly just wish to try a venue some friends raved about. Can anyone recommend a good hotel, roughly, in the area of the World Trade Center? I see several hotels in the general area, but don't know much about them.

Thanks!

The Porter or The AC Hotel is what I'd recommend in that immediate area. Both are within 3 blocks from the WTC Portland.

One of old Grand Dames would be The Benson on Broadway.
I've been to several events at The Nines - excellent proximity to food, shopping, etc.
Farther up the street is what used to be called The Governor - now called the Sentinel. The adjoined restaurant, Jakes Grill, makes some of the best eggs Benedict that I have eaten.
On the Riverfront, Kimpton River Place. Looks like modern schlock outside, but the insides were very well appointed when I was there.
IIRC, there's a Crowne Plaza right there at the WTC.

Geeze man. Coming to potland? Oof. Wear your rubbers.
Something I noticed in the last year. Driving through the downtown core isn't' as bad as it was before the rona. So many store fronts are closed, not near as many people driving around down there now.

Thanks for the recommendations. Much appreciated.
