Hello, all

I'm a Blazers fan living in Houston but I am planning to go to Portland for a playoff game (hopefully on a weekend). 

I will be staying in Portland for 2 nights probably, could someone recommend  some hotels that are close to Rose Garden and places to visit (preferably short trip without driving)? I realize that there are a lot of good restaurant in Portland by watching Courtside and Just Casey, any particular recommendations for the restaurant as well?

Thanks a million!  Go Blazers and Beat LA tonight!
