Avoid unexpected charges

Courtyard Portland Convention Center Parking Costs

Hotel parking and Oregon Convention Center parking are separate products with separate rates. You should decide where to park based on whether you are staying overnight or attending an event only.

Parking typePublished priceImportant detail
Courtyard on-site parking$43/dayMarriott’s current hotel rate.
Courtyard valet$43/dayListed separately on Marriott’s overview.
Oversized vehicle$53/nightConfirm vehicle dimensions and availability in advance.
OCC standard garage entry$15, up to 18 hoursNo in-and-out; not hotel overnight parking.
OCC large-event parking$15–$25Dynamic event entry rate; no overnight parking permitted.

Real parking budget examples

One hotel night

$43 published hotel parking charge for one daily period, before any applicable taxes or special conditions.

Three hotel days

$129 at the published $43 daily rate, assuming three chargeable parking periods.

Event-only visit

$15–$25 at the Oregon Convention Center for a larger-event garage entry, subject to current conditions.

Do not leave your car overnight in the Oregon Convention Center garage. OCC explicitly prohibits overnight parking, and its garages do not offer the same stay-based service as a hotel parking arrangement. The lower convention-center rate cannot safely be multiplied across an overnight hotel trip.

How to choose parking correctly

  1. Staying at Courtyard? Check the hotel’s current daily parking rate and whether self-parking or valet is available for your booking.
  2. Attending the Oregon Convention Center only? Use OCC’s parking instructions for P1 and P2 garage entrances.
  3. Driving a taller vehicle? OCC lists 7-foot clearance at P1 and 9-foot clearance at P2; the hotel’s separate clearance requirements must be confirmed with Marriott.
  4. Compare the complete cost: Add room rate, parking days, taxes and event expenses.
  5. Keep parking proof: Save your receipt and any vehicle-registration or valet ticket information.
Convention attendees

Walking from Courtyard to Oregon Convention Center

The hotel is in the Lloyd District, a short walk from Oregon Convention Center. Travel Portland identifies a venue distance of 0.3 mile, while hotel booking directories commonly estimate around five to ten minutes on foot depending on the entrance and walking conditions.

Start: Courtyard hotel

435 NE Wasco Street
Portland, OR 97232

Leave the hotel using its public pedestrian entrance and follow current pedestrian directions toward the Convention Center.

Destination: Oregon Convention Center

777 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
Portland, OR 97232

The convention venue has multiple access points. Your conference registration or event entrance may be closer to the MLK, Holladay or another designated entrance.

Event-day arrival steps

  1. Check your event confirmation: Note the hall, ballroom or meeting room.
  2. Check when doors open: Registration, badge collection and session start times may differ.
  3. Use a pedestrian route: Navigate from the hotel to the correct convention-center entrance, not an underground parking entrance.
  4. Allow extra time: Add time for crossings, security, badge pickup and finding the correct hall.
  5. Recheck the return route: Especially after evening events or during heavy rain.
Important distinction: This hotel is not physically connected to the Oregon Convention Center. You must travel outdoors between buildings. The Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center is a different property.

Meals and breakfast

BLVD Kitchen & Bar, Breakfast & Food Options

The hotel has an on-site restaurant, BLVD Kitchen & Bar, which Marriott lists for breakfast and dinner. The hotel also has The Market for snacks and drinks.

BLVD Kitchen & Bar

Seasonal dishes, locally inspired food and beverages in a hotel restaurant setting. Breakfast and dinner are the main dining services highlighted by Marriott.

Confirm the current menu, prices and service hours on your specific travel date.

Is breakfast free?

No complimentary breakfast with a standard stay. Marriott’s official hotel FAQ explicitly states that the property does not offer free breakfast.

Paid breakfast or packages may be available; check whether your rate actually includes the meal before booking.

Early meeting? If your first conference session is before normal restaurant service, arrange breakfast the previous evening or check the current opening time. Do not assume all Courtyard hotels provide the same breakfast setup.

Other food options

The Lloyd District offers additional restaurants and quick-service dining near NE Broadway, NE Grand Avenue and the convention district. Business hours may vary, and some nearby businesses may not be open late after events.

Traveling with a dog

Pet Policy: Charges, Weight & Limit

Marriott describes the Courtyard Portland Downtown/Convention Center as dog-friendly, but its policy is more specific than a general “pets welcome” label.

Allowed animalsDogs only
Maximum dogs2 per room
Weight policy60 lbPublished maximum
Standard pet fee$100/stayNonrefundable

Marriott states that the dog-related fee increases after five nights. The precise additional charge for a longer stay should be confirmed before booking. Service animals receive the accommodations specified by applicable law and the hotel’s published accessibility policy.

Check these details before bringing your dog

  • Confirm the room reservation is marked for a dog.
  • Check your dog’s weight and the two-dog room limit.
  • Ask about the fee if staying longer than five nights.
  • Confirm relief areas and unattended-pet rules.
  • Keep a leash and required travel supplies available.
Airport and public transportation

From Portland Airport to the Courtyard Hotel

Portland International Airport (PDX) is approximately nine miles from the hotel according to Marriott. The hotel does not operate a complimentary airport shuttle.

MAX Light Rail

The MAX Red Line connects PDX with the Convention Center/Lloyd area. Plan the final short walk or local connection to the hotel based on luggage, weather and accessibility needs.

Taxi or rideshare

A practical door-to-door option if traveling with heavy luggage, a large group or late at night. The cost varies with time and demand.

Rental car

Useful if your trip includes locations beyond the central city, but add the hotel’s published daily parking cost to your total travel budget.

Transit steps from PDX

  1. Follow airport signage for MAX light rail.
  2. Check the current Red Line service direction and any TriMet service alerts.
  3. Choose a stop in the Convention Center/Lloyd district that suits your hotel’s pedestrian route.
  4. Use a street map for the last walk to 435 NE Wasco Street.
  5. For return travel, allow time for the journey, airport security and unexpected delays.

Oregon Convention Center’s transportation guidance confirms MAX, Portland Streetcar and TriMet bus connections in the surrounding district. The Portland Streetcar A Loop and TriMet Bus 6 also serve the convention-center neighborhood.

Transport decision: For a mostly conference-based stay, walking and transit may be simpler than paying daily hotel parking. For Oregon Coast, Columbia River Gorge or other regional outings, a rental car can be more useful.
Small meetings and group stays

Courtyard Portland Meeting Rooms & Event Facilities

The Courtyard has its own meeting facilities for trainings, board meetings, smaller gatherings and business events. These spaces are separate from the much larger exhibit halls and ballrooms at Oregon Convention Center.

Hotel event rooms5
Breakout rooms4
Largest capacity144 guests
Published event space5,118 sq ft

Marriott’s current event page advertises approximately 5,118 square feet of total event space, including about 3,000 square feet outdoors, while Travel Portland’s venue inventory identifies 3,103 square feet of meeting space. These figures use different scope definitions and should not be presented as identical indoor meeting-area totals.

When to use the hotel instead of OCC

Use Courtyard meeting rooms for

  • Training and smaller staff meetings.
  • Team briefings and workshops.
  • Small receptions and business gatherings.
  • Convenient meeting space for guests already staying at the hotel.

Use Oregon Convention Center for

  • Large trade shows and exhibit booths.
  • Major conferences and conventions.
  • Large plenary sessions and exhibitions.
  • Events requiring extensive floor space and exhibitor logistics.

Request a meeting proposal

  1. Choose your preferred date and alternative dates.
  2. Estimate seated attendees, overnight guestrooms and the event format.
  3. Decide whether catering, AV and outdoor space are required.
  4. Open Marriott’s official event page and select the meeting-planning request option.
  5. Request a written proposal showing room rental, layout, food, service charges and cancellation rules.

Final booking checklist

How to Book Courtyard Portland at the Correct Total Price

Room rates change with conference schedules, nearby arena events, seasonal demand and room type. A low nightly figure is not enough to establish the real trip cost.

  1. Enter your travel dates: Include early event registration or setup days if needed.
  2. Select guest count and bed preference: Check the room’s actual occupancy and included features.
  3. Verify breakfast: The standard room does not include free breakfast; look for an eligible meal package if needed.
  4. Add parking: Budget the published $43/day hotel rate if bringing a vehicle.
  5. Add pet expenses: Include the nonrefundable dog charge when applicable.
  6. Check room accessibility: Confirm special features directly with the hotel if needed.
  7. Read the rate rules: Review taxes, cancellation deadline, prepayment, deposit and any loyalty-related conditions.
  8. Complete booking: Save the exact room confirmation and request any special arrangements.
Price example: For a three-night stay charged three parking days, the published hotel parking alone adds $129. That excludes the room rate, taxes, food and any pet charges. It is useful to compare hotels using the final checkout total rather than room price alone.
