Hotel

We've reserved a number of rooms at Edgefield for attendees to stay in on both Thursday and Friday nights. McMenamins will hold our rooms until April 7th, so book early.

Call them at (503) 669-8610 or (800) 669-8610 to make your reservation and tell them you are attending the Oregon Virtual Reference Summit.

Just for your information, most rooms at Edgefield do not have a private bathroom. There are several options outside of the rooms we have booked, so don't be afraid to ask the agent what is available.

 

Getting There

By car: McMenamin's Edgefield posts directions by car from several directions.

By bus: Tri-met bus #77 stops just a little east of Edgefield in the 2100 block of SW Halsey street. Use Tri-Met's trip planner and tell it you want to go to "edgefield".

By boat: Land at Lewis and Clark State Park and catch the 77 bus, as above.
