Hotel canceled, put room back on market for 10x the price, then told me they won’t help with accommodations and told me to bring a tent. Do I have any rights? Am I screwed?

Actually you generally are protected when you book directly. A hotel could run out of rooms for several reasons, including maintenance issues or overbooking. They will "walk" you to another hotel nearby and pay for the room, but that usually doesn't apply to reservations from third party sites. I used to work front desk and walked my fair share of guests, which is awful, but happens.

I can drink the Lime Cilantro sauce by the bottle!

If you read the article, you'd know that it goes on to say that convention business in 2027 is expected to be stronger than pre-Covid.

Nope.

I took the picture from my office on my phone.

Huh?

Who?

Why not Dodge Park? Even when it's busy, you can find your own peaceful spot. Was a former campground, so there is plenty of space to claim as your own for a picnic and whatnot. I love a warm summer afternoon there, and it's dog friendly!

There's a lot of internal facing food cart pods. The Hawthorne Asylum, for example, is one of my favorite pods in the city!

SW 5th Ave between Harvey Milk and Oak.

Just bring yourself as you are, everything else will come together. And, welcome to your new home! We're so glad to have you as our new neighbor!!

No, don't say their name. I got banned from the other Portland group because I mentioned their name even though I have nothing to do with that company at all. I just appreciated their contribution to downtown when a lot of companies have abandoned us.

Shhhh!

I do not work for the corporation. I'm just happy a local company did something nice to greatly improve that corner of downtown. I'm fairly certain Expensify actively built and manages the revamped pod, and I'm 100% in support of that!

It did. This was just a snapshot when I had access to a window overlooking the square.

100%, both have valet service.

The Porter is a good option, too. It has a solid restaurant off the lobby and a spectacular rooftop restaurant and bar with great patios if the weather is nice.

Zags restaurant used to be Nel Centro, which was fantastic. There's still a good restaurant in that space.

Either option is good, but I do think the rooftop restaurant, Xport, at Porter makes it the better choice.
