Where to stay
There are many hotels in Portland and the outlying areas, several of which offer discounted rates to guests of OHSU.
Many also offer government rates. We suggest you make reservations as early as possible as Portland area hotels fill quickly in the summer.
We recommend the Marriott Residence Inn-Downtown Riverplace: (503) 552-9500 and the Paramount Hotel: (503) 223-9900.
