During your Portland vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Oregon Zoo
Perhaps best known for its elephants, the Oregon Zoo has the largest breeding herd of elephants in captivity. However, in recent years, the zoo has been continually adding new exhibits and has been branching out beyond the world of pachyderms. The Africa exhibit, which includes a very lifelike rain forest and a savanna populated by zebras, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, and other animals, is one of the most true-to-life habitats you'll ever see at a zoo. Equally impressive is the Alaskan tundra exhibit, with grizzly bears, wolves, and musk oxen. The Cascade Crest exhibit includes mountain goat habitat, and in the Steller Cove exhibit, you can watch the antics of Steller sea lions and sea otters. Also, don't miss the bat house. At press time, there were plans to open a new Amazon Flooded Forest exhibit in late 2001.In the summer, there are outdoor concerts in the zoo's amphitheater; admission prices vary.
Elk Rock Garden of the Bishop's Close
Set on a steep hillside above the Willamette River between Portland and Lake Oswego, this was once a private garden but was donated to the local Episcopal bishop of Oregon on the condition that it be opened to the public. The mature gardens are at their best through the spring and early summer. There's also an excellent view of Mount Hood from the grounds.
Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA)
The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA) was created as a resource for exploring and supporting experimental art and new music in Portland. Here, at the Institute's gallery facility, PICA presents visual art exhibitions focusing on contemporary trends in the regional, national, and international art scene. These exhibitions are always innovative and thought-provoking. At various venues around the city, PICA hosts performances by both well-known and less-established performance artists and musicians.

The Doug Fir Lounge is right across the street. It is a hip bar and restaurant built by a local architecture firm. There are cheap drinks and food during happy hour!
The Thriftlodge was not in the best location, as it was in the east side of Portland. However, it was very easy to take the bus into downtown. The rooms were a bit small, but because we were staying for a week, we got a room with a fridge and microwave for no extra cost. There is also HBO in the rooms and wireless internet, which we found incredibly helpful. The staff was overwhelmingly nice and helped us whenever we had questions.
Ok deal

Jupiter Hotel and doug fir lounge across the street
This hotel could have had better deals. The rooms were a little expensive for the quality.
A little too hot and noisy ...

Very short drive to downtown Portland - restaurants, shops, etc.
Our room at the Portland ThriftLodge was large enough, beds comfortable enough, and the staff fine - complimentary Sunday paper, directions, etc. But there was a poker game in a room nearby that kept me awake most of the night. And one of the heaters in the room was on full blast, and inaccessible behind the TV console, so I couldn't get it turned off during the night. So, it's convenient and inexpensive, but I'd say the risk of having very noisy neighbors is high.
Great value for central Portland

The Portland Central Thriftlodge is not high-end, but it offers excellent value. Much less expensive than most downtown Portland lodging, it is just across the river from downtown and also very convenient to the two Interstate highways. Rooms are clean, well maintained and quiet for this central location. Staff was perfunctory but efficient.
