Flight
This is our only major airport, and she’s a beaut! Definitely the best choice if you are flying in. The airport is located on the Max line which can take you to the Aloft hotel, if you are staying there (there is also a free shuttle to the hotel - more on that later!). The Max can also take you to spots all over the city if you are staying elsewhere.
Hotel
We have a block of rooms reserved at Aloft for $109/night +tax. Please book by OCTOBER 4TH. The above link should take you to the block reservation. If you are having trouble with the link, please call the hotel and refer to the Gardner/Johnson Wedding block. There is a free, on-demand shuttle available from the airport to the hotel. Just call when you land and they will come get you! The hotel is also right on the Max line, which is our intercity light rail system. You can take the Max from the airport to the hotel.
Hotel
If you are looking for a more unique hotel experience, this is it! Edgefield is about 25 minutes East of Portland. Built as a “Poor Farm” in the early 1900s, Edgefield is now a sprawling oasis full of bars, restaurants, golf, a movie theater, spa and soaking pool. It’s unreal. Kate worked there as a bartender for 8 years and still loves it. Please note Edgefield is not super easily accessible by public transportation and we do not have a discount code there. Also, most of the rooms utilized shared bathrooms (private stalls, showers, etc., but not in your room). If you don’t want to stay there it is still very worth checking out - especially if the weather is nice. You can grab a beverage and walk around for hours!
Train
The MAX can connect you to locations all over the city. You can put your destination in to the Tri Met Tracker on their website and get your whole journey mapped out for you!
