CANDLEWOOD SUITES PORTLAND AIRPORT BY IHG, Portland

The hotel sits 3 km (5-minute drive) from PDX, with a free shuttle running from 4am to 11pm. It's near I-205 and I-84, making downtown Portland about 15 minutes by car. Several restaurants are within 0.5 km, including Shilo Restaurant, Dutch Bros, and Panera Bread. Cascade Station shopping mall is nearby, but there are no walkable grocery stores. The area is industrial and airport-oriented, with some visible homeless encampments. The parking lot is fenced and patrolled by a security guard at night, providing peace of mind for vehicle storage.

Rooms include a queen- or king-sized bed (some with a sleeper sofa), air conditioning, cable TV, and a large desk. The full kitchen features a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, two-burner cooktop, and essential cookware. The bathroom is private with Dove toiletries and good water pressure. While the rooms are spacious and clean, AC units can be loud, and some rooms may have a mold smell. Carpeted floors and no balconies. Useful features include a lending locker for extra appliances (e.g., air fryer, crockpot) and a large closet. Note: no bedside clocks or USB ports, and feather pillows are standard - request hypoallergenic if needed.

The hotel operates a Candlewood Cupboard offering breakfast items, snacks, frozen meals, and drinks at reasonable prices. Free coffee and tea are available 24/7 in the lobby. For sit-down meals, several restaurants are a short walk away: Shilo Restaurant (American), Dutch Bros (coffee), Panera Bread (sandwiches/salads), and IKEA Cafe (2 km). There are no walkable grocery stores, so a car is needed for self-catering beyond the market's selection.

The fitness centre is open 24 hours and includes cardio equipment and free weights. Outdoors, there is a picnic area with barbecue facilities. Board games and puzzles are available at the front desk. Tennis equipment can be hired. For outdoor activities, hiking and cycling are accessible off-site. The hotel does not have a pool or spa.
