HAMPTON INN PORTLAND AIRPORT, Portland

The hotel sits on airport property, which means the Port of Portland Police patrol the area - adding a layer of security uncommon at hotels just outside the airport perimeter. The free 24/7 shuttle picks up from Island #1 at the terminal (about 61 m from the MAX Light Rail station) and runs continuously, making it practical for early-morning or late-night flights. For trips into the city, MAX Light Rail provides direct access to downtown Portland, the Pearl District (11 km), and Oregon Zoo (14 km). A 7-Eleven is a 5-minute walk away, and Pacific Grille restaurant is about 1 km from the property. Parking on site costs US$15 per night, but during busy periods the lot can fill up with airport parkers, so arriving early or using the shuttle is recommended.

Standard rooms include cable TV with pay-per-view options, a work desk, ironing facilities, and individually controlled air conditioning. Many rooms also feature a coffee maker and a mini-fridge, while some studios offer a seating area with a sofa bed. Accessible rooms include a roll-in shower or accessible tub with grab bars, visual alarms for doorbell and phone, and lower counter heights. Some rooms on the runway-facing side have large windows with views of aircraft movements - these tend to be quieter than road-facing rooms. The hotel does not have rooms with private bathrooms; all units have en-suite bathrooms with showers. Condition varies: many rooms are described as clean, spacious, and comfortable, though some older units show signs of wear such as stained carpets or worn furniture. For a more consistent experience, requesting a recently refreshed room is advisable.

Breakfast is a hot buffet with scrambled eggs, sausage patties, biscuits, diced roasted potatoes, and two make-your-own waffle stations. Additional selections include assorted pastries, breads for toasting, juices, yogurts, fresh fruit, and a choice of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The breakfast room is open from 6:00 to 10:00 daily, and to-go bags can be arranged at the front desk for early departures. For those staying without a breakfast-inclusive rate, the cost is US$1 per person - a practical option before an early flight. The property has no restaurant, but the adjacent Sheraton offers a restaurant and lounge with a 10% discount for Hampton Inn guests. A 7-Eleven is a 5-minute walk for snacks and drinks.

The shuttle operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - call from the airport or request at reception, and allow about 20 minutes from the lobby to the terminal. Parking is private on site for US$15 per night without reservation, but the lot can fill up; long-term parking packages (Stay and Fly) must be arranged directly with the hotel. Pets are allowed with a non-refundable fee of US$40 for the first animal and US$10 for the second. The lobby includes a minimarket, a business centre with free fax/photocopying, and a shared lounge with TV. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/out, safety deposit boxes, and luggage storage. The property is fully wheelchair-accessible with accessible parking, lift access, and adapted rooms. Limited housekeeping is provided daily, and additional cleaning services (dry cleaning) are available for a fee.
