The Marriott City Center will offer the gov’t rate.  It’s a bit further (still walkable), but the streetcar will drop you off kitty-corner from the building and should be close to any of the city center hotels.  You can get a pack of 5 1-day passes for $25 here: http://store.trimet.org/view_cart.asp?catid=8

I think most of the government rate hotels are going to be either next to the conference center or further south toward the city center. I've got a govt rate room in the Hilton Portland & Executive Tower.

That's the best they could give me, and is in line with historical costs for the conference hotel.  I don't know what the gov't rate is, isn't that what you'd get?  Anyway, if you find something better, please let us know.

FYI, the group rate of 179$ is way above the DOE max lodging costs (137$).  I'd expect most DOE folks to not be able to use this.
