That was why I really liked the Columbia River hotel. It's not an airport hotel, so charging for parking isn't an issue. There are a dozen or so restaurants nearby, including the always-popular Mongolian BBQ. There is a Safeway grocery store nearby (long walk or short drive -- if holding a party, I'd probably drive because I'd be getting so many supplies). There was always enough parking. All in all, that site was one of the best I've ever attended.
