I recently stayed at the Portland Crowne Plaza and the bike was one of the best parts of the entire vacation! Everything you need is within biking distance and I made several trips to the Lloyd Center Mall, a park and lunch. You can even take your bike on the MAX so I was quickly on the train to the heart of downtown (for free!) to bike through Chinatown and do some shopping. The bikes really made my experience at this hotel amazing, I wish every hotel had this amenity!
