We were in Hillsboro for a tournament at the Hillsboro Stadium. We decided to make a long weekend of it and see the Hillsboro/Portland area. The rooms were spacious, clean and quiet. It has free wireless high-speed Internet access and Pet-friendly hotel. Its a perfectly safe area with lots of families and professionals out and about. We got coffee there one morning when we let the kids sleep late. The beds are heavenly, I would love to purchase one. The kitchens had just enough to make a simple meal including, stove, dishes, and a full size fridge - although we ate out mostly. We ended up not spending too much time in the room because we found alot to do on our off time. Room was tidied up nicely and the desk staff was helpful too with directions etc.
This location is in Hillsboro downtown, but you would not know it, its such a nice area. All the high-tech compainies have expansive, landscaped properties. Its close to several Intels, Sun Micro, Genentech, Solar World, FEI and many many more. Again, its close to the stadium. Its also less than 3 mile from 2 great shopping/dining areas: Orenco Station at Cornell or Tanasbourne on 185th. Bottom line, tons of food choices, maybe too many. It is also a quick drive out to the vineyards and golf courses in the countryside along US 26. My husband and son say that Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club is not to be missed. You really need a car but the commuter train is a fun way to get into downtown Portland from a max Station near to Econo lodge, for just a few bucks which is worth it just to not have to park!
