About this Location

Facility Overview

The Courtyard by Marriott Portland Downtown/Convention Center parking facility offers reliable, centrally positioned on-site parking in Portland\'s bustling Lloyd District. Situated at 485 NE Wasco Street, this dedicated hotel parking area provides convenient off-street parking designed to accommodate hotel guests, convention attendees, and eventgoers visiting the Rose Quarter. The facility features a secure, structured parking garage layout alongside surface bays, with clearly marked driving lanes and designated accessible stalls. Due to the multi-level configuration, standard passenger cars, minivans, and compact-to-midsize crossovers fit comfortably, while high-profile commercial vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles carrying oversized rooftop cargo should check vertical clearance signage at the driveway entrance (typically around 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 8 inches for the covered sections).

Visitor & Driver Tips

During major conventions or high-profile Trail Blazers home games, local surface traffic along NE Grand Avenue and MLK Jr. Boulevard can back up significantly. Drivers are advised to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to scheduled events to secure parking and navigate pedestrian corridors smoothly. If you drive a large truck or SUV equipped with bike racks or roof cargo boxes, measure your clearance before pulling into the covered ramps. For non-hotel guests attending events, consider booking in advance through partnered digital parking apps when available or confirming daily self-park policies directly with the hotel.
