Portland is famed for its eco-friendly parks and surrounding green mountains. It’s a very scenic city, especially with the picturesque view of the snow-capped Mount Hood on clear days. In 2003, it was nicknamed “The City of Roses” because of its love for the flower, which tourists will find in nearly every garden they pass. The cityscape is also sensational, boasting truly phenomenal bridges, such as St. John’s Bridge and the Hawthorne Bridge.
Furthermore, this city is home to several cafés and breweries, and the streets are steeped with local food carts offering budget-friendly yet delicious foods and beverages. Make sure to join the line for Titos Taquitos for some yummy Mexican dishes. The best way to enjoy all Oregon has to offer is by staying for at least a week.

3. Buffalo Gardens (from USD 109)
Buffalo Gardens is a hidden paradise perfect for a temporary escape. After taking in its lush indoor plants and wooden beams, you’ll be tempted to just lounge happily inside instead of discovering the attractions of the city. However, with Dekum Triangle, home of the infamous Breakside Brewery that makes Portland’s best beer, only a few blocks away, guests will regret not exploring the area.
One of the benefits of this accommodation is the nearly 20% discount for guests who choose to stay for at least a week. For that fee, you get full access to high-speed WiFi, a fully stocked kitchen, and a beautiful garden patio.
