Two miles from Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon, the Best Western Pony Soldier Inn - Airport sits where the MAX light rail, the freeways, and downtown all come together.
MAX light rail runs straight into downtown, the Pearl District, and the NW 23rd shops, with a Trail Blazers game at the Rose Quarter arena along the way. The Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood, and the Oregon Coast open up within a scenic drive, and Vancouver, Washington, sits just across the river, with The Grotto's gardens and Voodoo Doughnuts close for a quick detour. The world's smallest park, a fun roadside curiosity, sits downtown as well.
Back at the hotel, a seasonal outdoor pool and a year-round hot tub handle the downtime, clean rooms make an easy landing for frequent flyers, and a full hot breakfast with waffles and Arabica coffee opens the day. Free parking and a quick airport hop keep early flights and late arrivals simple. The setting suits frequent flyers and weekend visitors alike, with the light rail steps from the door.
