Facility Overview
Located in the heart of Portland's bustling Cascade Station retail and business district, the parking facility at 9301 NE Cascades Parkway serves guests and visitors of the Residence Inn by Marriott Portland Airport as well as travelers navigating the greater PDX airport corridor. The facility consists of an expansive, well-maintained open-air surface parking lot that wraps around the property. Because this is an open-air surface lot with no restrictive ceiling heights, standard passenger cars, crossovers, full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, and high-roof transit vans can easily maneuver and park without clearance concerns. The lot features wide drive aisles, clearly demarcated stalls, and smooth apron transitions from the roadway.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned just under two miles from the Portland International Airport (PDX) terminal, this parking location provides unmatched accessibility to both airport travel and regional attractions. Visitors are within a short walk of the Cascade Station Shopping Center, an open-air retail hub hosting major destinations including IKEA, Target, Best Buy, and Nordstrom Rack, alongside popular dining spots like Buffalo Wild Wings and Famous Dave's BBQ. For sports and entertainment fans, the location offers seamless access to the Moda Center and Veterans Memorial Coliseum (approximately 6 miles west), and the Oregon Convention Center, all reachable by car or via direct light rail transit. Natural and cultural sights like The Grotto botanical sanctuary are just 2 miles away.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Entering and exiting the facility is straightforward via NE Cascades Parkway, a well-landscaped, multi-lane roadway engineered for smooth traffic circulation. The location links directly to NE Airport Way and Interstate 205 (I-205), granting rapid access north toward Washington state via the Glenn Jackson Memorial Bridge and south toward Interstate 84 and downtown Portland. Public transit connectivity is one of the lot's strongest advantages: the TriMet MAX Light Rail Red Line stops at the Mt. Hood Avenue and Cascades MAX stations within a 3-to-5-minute walk. Riding the MAX Red Line takes travelers directly into PDX terminals in approximately three minutes, or westbound directly into the Rose Quarter and downtown Portland without highway delays.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers using this facility should register their vehicle make, model, and license plate upon arrival at the self-pay terminal or hotel front desk to verify parking authorization and prevent parking enforcement notices. During major holiday travel periods and Black Friday shopping surges, Cascade Station sees higher traffic volumes; arriving a few minutes earlier than planned is recommended to navigate traffic smoothly along Airport Way. If heading to Portland International Airport, consider walking to the adjacent MAX Light Rail platform at Mt. Hood Avenue for a rapid one-stop rail ride straight to baggage claim, avoiding terminal departure loop congestion.
