THE MINDARO, PART OF JDV BY HYATT, Portland

The hotel sits on Airport Way, making it a practical choice for flyers and those attending events at the convention center or Moda Center. Free Lyft rides replace a former airport shuttle, making air travel access straightforward. The immediate area includes fast-food chains (McDonald's, Jack in the Box, Jimmy John's), a Chinese restaurant, a café, and a Dutch Bros coffee stand, all within 0.5 to 1 km. Portland Children's Museum is 23 km away, best reached by car. The large parking lot accommodates trucks and trailers, though late-night activity in the lot has been noted. For downtown Portland, driving or using the Lyft service is the most reliable option.

All rooms are suites, providing generous space with a seating area, sofa, work desk, and often a separate dressing area with a sink. Each room includes a microwave, refrigerator, tea and coffee maker, ironing facilities, and a flat-screen TV. Some units feature a second TV. Beds are consistently noted as comfortable, though the sofa bed and pull-out couch may vary in condition. Room quality varies between recently updated suites and older, worn units with stained carpets and dated decor. The property is undergoing renovation to convert to a Hyatt, so newer rooms are noticeably fresher. Road-facing rooms and upper-floor units can experience noise from corridors and plumbing, but good window insulation helps. Some rooms show signs of smoking residue despite a non-smoking policy.

There is no breakfast service or continental breakfast. Instead, guests receive a 20% discount at the on-site Jawfish Restaurant, which is open for lunch and dinner, serving American and local dishes. H Market provides snacks and essentials, and the Lobby Bar is open from 11:00 to 23:00 daily for cocktail hour. The restaurant, bar, and market are the only on-site dining options; for early morning meals, nearby fast-food options (McDonald's, Dutch Bros) are within a short walk or drive. The restaurant's food quality is generally good, though operational hours may vary during construction.

The hotel provides a fitness centre with cardio and weight equipment at no extra charge. There is no swimming pool, spa, hot tub, or sauna. For leisure, the large rooms themselves offer space for in-room workouts. The on-site gym is adequate for basic exercise, but those seeking full wellness amenities should plan accordingly. The property has a cigar lounge that is open and available for guests who wish to use it.

Wi-Fi is free and generally reliable throughout the property. A 24-hour front desk handles check-in and requests. Luggage storage is provided at no cost, useful for early arrivals or late departures. The free Lyft service to the airport replaces the former shuttle; the hotel arranges the ride upon request. For pets, dogs are allowed for a $15 plus tax nightly fee. On-site laundry is available for a small fee ($2 per wash or dry), which is useful for longer stays. The hotel also has a minimarket (H Market) for snacks and essentials. Meeting and banquet facilities are available for an additional charge. Key card access and CCTV are in place for security. The property has a lift and accessible parking options.
