Good to know for future. We ended up eating at the Sheraton's restaurant.

Yup, my room was a corner room & had a lot of space. I jokingly said to colleague I probably could have held a yoga class in the living room part.
Re: noise not being a problem, definitely disagree. See my posts above.
The real kicker is that when I got to the client site the next morning in Vancouver, WA, there was a Springhill Suites sharing a parking lot w/ the office building where the client was located! Had I known that I would have just stayed there (and it would have been a lot quieter). There was also a German restaurant about a 7-10 minute walk from that location.
Anyway, the airport SHS is in a good location to the airport & Cascades Station area & would be a decent mid-level choice. I'd just say stay away from room 303 due to the noise factor. Also, like other hotels it does offer Park-n-Fly options.
Cheers.
