Hello and hope all are doing well! We are planning our first trip to Portland and would love any updated information on areas, hotels etc. I know and see that this has been asked before but since it is not wise to post specifics names of places in a public form nothing can be seen. If you will, please send me a private message if you wish to share any helpful information. Thank you xoxo

I highly recommend the Hotel Deluxe and the Hotel Lucia.....convenient locations, great service and great in hotel bars.  The Driftwood Room at the Hotel Deluxe is one of my favorite bars anywhere in the world.
