I got here late about 30mins before closing so I only walked around for a little. It's so Beautiful, peaceful, & calm here. The Grotto is a 62-acres sanctuary founded in 1924. There are so many beautifully carved statues. All the statues are made from marble, granite, bronze, wood, polyester resin and fiberglass. On their webpage, The Grotto's Vision is To forever be a place where the human spirit can seek peace and consolation. The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother embraces and supports people of all cultures and all faiths who seek a place of prayer and meditation; The Grotto values the dignity of everyone. I'll definitely come back here the next time I'm in town so I can spend a bit more time exploring. There's a decent sized parking lot. It was empty as I got here close to closing but I'm sure it gets very busy here.

A pianist was even performing soothing music as we deplaned at Gate D5--gotta love it! The airport is large but very well laid out and easy to navigate. The light rail system, TriMet MAX, connects directly to the airport, making it an easy and inexpensive way to get to downtown and other parts of the city. The rental car area is also connected to the airport, so there's no need to take a shuttle. I've been to tons of airports, and I have to say, PDX is definitely one of my favorites.

The food is similar to regular pub food, and it's good and hearty but not high end. This property is worth a visit.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then 3 Diamonds in-door pool is just what you have been looking for. Diana and Rick are wonderful hosts and welcomed us to their in-door pool and were wonderful hosts during our 2 hour swim. In addition to jazz music playing in the background, they have everything you need. There is a mini fridge with a variety of waters and fizzy waters as well as snacks available. The private bathroom, where you can change in privacy, also has a shower, soap, and towels available. Once you are ready to get into the warm pool, they have ride-on-inflatables, rings, beach balls, dive toys, floating basketball, pool volleyball and much more. So what are you waiting for? Book your pool time, grab your swimsuits and head on over! You can swim laps, play a game of Marco Polo, enjoy floating and chatting with friends or getting in those laps.

Great host and great personalities. We stopped by for a 2 hour session and it was worth the time. The atmosphere is safe and cozy. The water was a warm 90+ degrees even though it was rainy and cold outside. They had nice jazz music playing with we were there which made it even more relaxing. We know how to handle the cold. The freezing cold. But even in the dead of winter, we deserve this resort-style pool day, if we do say so ourselves. They provide a nice private bathroom for changing and a shower for cleaning up afterwards. Nothing beats a hot shower after being in chlorine. They can't promise the sun, but they can promise some fun with the indoor pool. May be the thing to chase the winter blues away. It's the PNW, it's winter most of the time!

Portland's original and unique on-the-river dining experience. Sure, you could go to Salty's or…read moresomething, but it's not the quirky, laid-back afternoon/evening you can have on The Deck, which is actually *on* the water. This is actually the first time I was at The Deck *not* with a work group (which they are also good for), so we got to try some of the better menu items. This is, of course, a place for seafood, so we got the bay shrimp cocktail (so many shrimp!) and I had the Halibut Heatwave sandwich. Both were good, as were the fries. My sweetie got the BBLT (BLT with extra bacon) which was ... two meals, really. Overall, The Deck really has the best food I've had floating from a restaurant. It's really amazing what they can produce on a houseboat, especially since they have to wheel their supplies down the same ramp you entered on. Our server was fun and really embraced the summer dining on the water spirit, with a Hawaiian shirt and matching pants, and lots of happy silly chit-chat. Pretty much all the staff were cheerful and friendly, which is my regular experience and kinda amazing when you think about how this place is only open 5 months a year. This is really what you're here for, and the ambiance of having a pint while watching the sailboats go under the 5 bridge. The food is probably 3.5 stars, but they get a 5 for service and ambiance. Some tips: Go to The Deck on a weekday, it's far less crowded. Sit on the patio if there's room and you can do it without staring into the sun (bring a hat, just in case). Parking is in the McCuddy Marina parking lot, to the *left* (right is for marina members only). Some of the "standard pub" items are lackluster (like the Caesar salad); stick to their seafood and tacos, which are much better. Also, the vegetarian/vegan options are pretty boring, unless you just want fries, which are great. Warning, though: if you are mobility-impaired, The Deck is probably not for you; the McCuddy Marina involves steep ramps and a long walk on very cluttered piers.

While we were looking at the menu waiting for the server, the hostess brought a dog bowl with water for our dog. I got the 3 piece halibut fish & chips, she got the halibut fish tacos.

Fish Tacos were great, my fish was good with nice breading but a little soft and mushy inside. Good flavor though. The Cole slaw was great it was sweeter than most almost tasted like it had a little honey in it. Fries were crispy. It was a beautiful day by the water, with geese swimming and boats going by. All in all a very nice lunch.
