Orenco Station Manor Suites

Orenco Station Manor Suites is a big fan of, well, Earth! We feel that protecting our resources is of upmost importance and take every possible step we can to preserve our surroundings.

Some of the efforts we make to keep things green are, of course, recycing absolutely each and every possible thing we can! We also have implemented using low energy, high efficiency washers and dryers in all laundry facilities and use low-impact organic laundry detergents.

We look to our guests to help us conserve water by urging them to reuse towels as often as possible and are eager to hear any suggestions our past and future guests may have for our “Green Team”.

Orenco Station as a community was built on the premise of conservation. Read this article from the National Resources Defense Council to find out more: http://www.nrdc.org/cities/smartGrowth/solve/orenco.asp

“Innovative development blends light rail access, small lots with ‘community heartbeat’”
The Oregonian, January 4, 1998

Automobiles are relegated to garages in back of the new homes at Orenco Station, and that’s more than just a design consideration. In this pedestrian-friendly community north of Hillsboro, cars are not essential for most residents. The new Orenco light rail station is just a couple of blocks away along tree-lined streets. Once the project is completed, most all of the amenities residents need will be within walking distance, including coffee shops, sidewalk cafes and a major grocery store….

The 190-acre project is just the sort of project Metro envisioned for land along the new Westside light rail line, said Mike Burton, Metro’s executive director. Despite high densities (about 18 units per acre), the homes are well-designed and offer a sense of privacy lacking in many homes on much larger lots, he said. The mix of apartments, townhomes and single-family homes, amenities such as parks and a swimming pool, the town center commercial area and an adjacent larger commercial development contribute to a sense of community, rather than being “just a bunch of houses,” said Burton.

“It’s a great project,” said Burton. “I think they’ve achieved a heck of a goal….”

Gas prices are soaring out of control and vacation seems like a thing of the past. Here’s a thought for those that are dying to get away: be a Staycationer! A Staycation is defined as a unique type of getaway where the staycationer travels nearby to a local hotel perhaps, or to a part of their local area they’ve never been to. In one way, they are staying home and in another they are going on vacation!

If a staycation sounds like something you’re up for this summer, Orenco Station Manor Suites offers the most getaway for your money. Go easy on the travel time, lighten up on the costs and take advantage of each and every amenity you’d find elsewhere.

Take a trip back in time to a place where neighborhood matters, where people are welcoming and friends are made on a daily basis. Enjoy a walk along Main Street, also known as Orenco Station Parkway, and bump into the locals who enjoy conversations with passersby while sipping an area vino on the front porch of their brownstones. Stooping, as it is called, is welcome and wanted in this neck of the woods!

Take a moment to pop into the local merchants, which include three excellent restaurants from around the world: The Merchant of Venice serves up excellent Italian fare, Orenco Station Grill allows you to feel right at home with American cuisine and Swagath sends you to India featuring authentic Indian choices. Do not miss a wine tasting at Renaissance wines and enjoy a friendly discount simply for being a Manor Suites guest. O-town, as the locals call it, comes equipped with its very own Starbucks as well as a salon, healthy pet food store and more.

Stay right here in 2008, if you prefer: Orenco Station Manor Suites is as technologically advanced as they come. Not only is the entire property equipped with free secure wireless internet, but two business centers boast of a workstation, copy machine, color printer and complimentary fax. Each suite comes equipped with flat screen televisions (most of them plasma), dvd players and dvd libraries. The iPod docking station is a plus.

Top your staycation off with a body treatment, facial, foot massage or skin treatment at the Opulence Women’s Spa, located right on the premises. More information can be found at www.relaxatopulence.com.

If you feel the need to spread out a bit, hop on the MAX, Portland’s jewel of a transportation system, which stops just 2 blocks away from the Orenco Station Manor Suites.

Once you plan your getaway in this neighborhood, you’ll find yourself needing a Staycation here again and again.
