Portland, Oregon Fly Fishing Show

[SweetStreamS]

I'm planning on going to the Fly Fishing Show in March at the Portland, Oregon Convention Center. Although I've been to the shows in California several times, I've never been to the Portland Show. I've found motels on Google, but am not familiar with the neighborhood. Any suggestions on a "safe" motel close to the Convention Center? Maybe within walking distance.

Try my favorite:

Red Lion Hotel Portland Convention Center
* Special Wholesale Discount Rates on Hotel
Dist From Convention Center:
0.14 mi/0.2 km
1021 NE Grand Avenue, Portland, OR 97232 US

You can Google PORTLAND OREGON CONVENTION CENTER HOTELS and get a dozen.

Your as safe as anywhere IMO

First of all, do you think this show will be as good as the ones in CA? I'm hoping so. The previous shows at the convention center grew weaker each year until they folded.
& B> there are many Motels in the area, one's like a block away, the convention center motel? I'd do a "motel search" on google.
Later,
Peter

Ducksterman,
You bet I'll be there. I've been to the last 6, and this time it'll be a lot shorter drive than from Sacto. CA. I'm chompin' at the bit.
