*As many of you may know, I'm from Chile and i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one from another state/country that is going to the awesome gig in Beervana Portland, OR.
This is my first time in the Nortwest area but i've gathered some information, since i'm staying for 6 days up there. There's a lot of places where you can stay in Portland (just check TripAdvisor http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g52024...otels.html), but i'll mention a couple of really economic options:
1.- Hawthorne Hostel http://www.portlandhostel.org/ : it belongs to Hostelling International, but you really don't need a permanent membership if you want to stay there. According to many reviews, the place is really clean and safe...and they have 2 private rooms (they are more expensive, of course). If the maps are correct, this hostel is just a few block away from the venue! :D
2.- Jupiter Hotel http://www.jupiterhotel.com/ : If hostelling isn't your thing but you don't have much money. It's not as close to the venue as the first one, but it's still located in the SE area. If i trust the reviews, this place is a little noisy but it could be a great thing if you want to have some fun
. Rooms are clean and have a nice modern decoration. If you check in after midnight, you can get rooms from $59 plus tax. 
3.- If you're curious, i'm staying in the Holiday Inn Express NW Downtown, because, with my boyfriend, we wanted a quiet place near downtown and Pearl District...this hotel has a nice price/quality/location/public transportation relation but it's relatively far from the venue. Here's the webpage of this hotel anyway http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/1/en/hotel/pdxor
Of course, locals are welcomed tooffer their bedrooms for free post some info too
**Edit**
I almost forgot: you must hurry up with the reservations. I've seen some places (mostly small Bed&Breakfast) that already don't have room availibility for the date of the concert O_o
