What is the best way to get to Hotel Grand Stark from the Portland International Airport?

Uber/Lyft/Rideshare/Taxi is the most straightforward way to get from the airport to our hotel.

The MAX Red Line towards City Center picks up from the airport. The closest MAX station is the Convention Center MAX Station. Guests can either transfer to the #6 Bus Towards Portland or walk (it is about a mile).

How does transit work?

Portland’s transit system is called TriMet. Buses, Street Car, and MAX all use the same ticket.  All information can be found on Trimet.Org (It is better than Google Maps). Guests can use Current Location or customize Departure spot and arrival spot, look ahead at different times to plan their trip.

Adult fare is $2.80 for 2 hours. Day Pass is ~$6.  Buses accept cash. All systems allow tapping of Debit/Credit Card/Digital Wallets. We recommend using the same form of payment as that is how you earn a day pass. You can also purchase a HOP card through the app or at participating shops.

The number 6 heading North and the B Loop Street Car pick up right across the street in front of Next Adventure. The number 6 heading south and the A Loop Street Car station is on the corner of MLK and Stark (Across from JUTE).

Yes. Please address the package “Guest Name on Reservation C/O Hotel Grand Stark 509 SE Grand Ave, Portland, OR 97214”.

Our property has an incidental hold of $100 per night, up to $300. This authorizes your card for valet charges, marketplace purchases, and any other charges that may occur.

How long does the incidental hold take to release?

It can take 3 to 5 business days for the incidental hold to release. This is all dependent on the type of card used, your bank, etc. If your hold does not release after 7 days, please call the Hotel.
