Well, I've never stayed in any of the hotels nearby, since I happen to live in this town... {grin}

Portland.citysearch.com (using our favorite mod_perl site) suggests (in order of distance):

• Inn at the Convention Center (if I remember, this is hotel from the mid 60s... kinda dumpy)
• Shilo Inn (rooms have free high-speed net access, and this is a hometown chain... I'd recommend this if the price is fair)
• Red Lion Inn
• La Quinta (fairly modern)
• Marriott Courtyard (standard Marriott style)
• Radisson

Just use your favorite means to search near "777 NE M L King Blvd, Portland, OR".
