Oregon hotels and motels abound, but which one offers the best accommodations for your particular business trip? If you plan to be there a day or a weekend, the accommodations you need will be different than those needed for a longer stay. If you are entertaining your clients or meeting with them for business, this can also be a factor in where you stay, especially if you are providing the meeting room.

Choose the best facilities to make your business trip a success. You may need wireless Internet, unlimited free local calls, a business center to send faxes or meeting room capabilities. On longer stays, you may prefer a suite to just a room. Look for the following when you make an Oregon hotel reservation:

1. Choose Oregon coast lodging offering overnight accommodations.

2. Pick Oregon motels for your long-term business needs.

3. Find Oregon lodging near resorts, and mix business with pleasure.

Find Oregon motels offering overnight accommodations

If you are going to Oregon for a one day business meeting, you just need a place to park yourself overnight. Then you can catch your flight home in the morning. As long as the room is clean, comfortable and offers basics such as Internet, it should do the job for you.

I recommend: Valley River Inn offers an Internet data port and large work area with a lamp and executive chair. They also provide daily newspaper and free in room coffee. Inn at Arch Rock provides wireless Internet access in some rooms and cable TV with DVD players in all rooms.

Select extended stay motel in Oregon for longer stays

When you will be staying for a week or longer, extended stay Oregon hotels and motels are your best bet for a successful business trip. These hotels offer more than one room suites; they provide full kitchens, business centers, high speed wireless Internet and meeting centers.

I recommend: Crossland Economy Studios offers full kitchens, workspace with computer data-port, and wireless Internet for a one-time nominal charge. Phoenix Inn Suites offers microwaves, refrigerators and complimentary high-speed Internet access in their hotel. OR has several locations of this hotel for your convenience.

Make your Oregon coast hotels reservations near the resorts for business and pleasure

Oregon offers skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. Visit Favell Museum of Western Art and Artifacts and witness Indian artifacts and western art. Alternatively, enjoy the beauty of the high desert landscapes or the Pacific coast beaches from your motel. OR sports much to see and do, so visit for business and stay for entertainment.

I recommend: Village Green Resort by Moonstone Hotel Properties offers standard, deluxe or suite rooms for your pleasure. Go fishing, boating, biking or golfing or relax in the whirlpool. Running Y Ranch by Jeld Wen provides almost every leisure activity you can think of from golf, swimming and tennis to horseback riding and cross-country skiing. Work on having fun after you do the real work.
