Travel and Venue Information
Directions to Guardian Games:
From Southbound Interstate 5 (via Seattle is displayed... but anywhere in Washington, really)
Parking:
Guardian Games has asked us to leave their small parking lot free for their usual crowd. But there is plenty of street parking nearby.
Nearby Lodging:
Here are some more economic options. I'm only including a set that had consistently good reviews and are within good driving/walking distance. You may want to utilize Google map for exact distances. Be sure to call for exact pricing:
$79 - Eastside Lodge, 949 E Burnside St, 503-234-8411
$80 - Quality Inn Downtown/Convention center, 431 Multnomah St, 503-233-7933
$85 - Shilo Inn, 1506 NE 2nd Ave, 503-736-6300
$80 - Inn at Convention Center, 420 NE Holladay St, 503-233-6331 (there is some construction nearby lately so noise could be an issue here. But considering the timing of the comp and that it's on the weekend, it might not be a problem).
There are also plenty of Courtyards, Marriotts, and other places that cost $140 or more a night and would be well worth it. But they'd also be a longer walk.
