Other than the usual Marriotts and Hyatt.

There's a red victorian in the Haight Ashbury area that is really fun to stay at

13. it is nice to go home

oh yeah, i was able to have a cigarette while i drank my beer in a bar in portland. i'd forgotten how awesome that is (i know that is something you can appreciate).

[Redstone]

17. Yes, I'm sure you enjoyed finding a place where the Health Nazis have not taken over;

nothing like a smoke and a drink together, is there?

19. and i'm amazed that it was in portland

it's damn near impossible to even find hotel rooms that allow smoking in oregon anymore
