Ace Hotel
A cool hotel, with a few caveats: it has a young clientele and they can be loud on the weekends. Oh, and you have to be comfortable with shared bathrooms. That said, the bed are comfy and the ambiance is awesome (and the restaurant next door, Clyde Commons, has great happy hour).

Vacation Rentals by Owner (VRBO.com)
VRBO is a great resource if you have a big group that is staying together; you can simply rent an entire house. In our perusal of the available houses in Portland it seems that many of them are cheaper than hotels.
If you see some a house that you’re interested in, it might be best to contact us and let us have a look as well so you don’t end up way out in the middle of nowhere. That said, Portland is pretty small, so you usually won’t be far away.
We live at 714 SE 19th Ave. Portland, OR 97214, so if you know the address of the house you can use Google Maps to figure out how close you would be.
Maps on the way!
