Portland Municipal Pilot Reviews:

Got in around 4:55 pm, basically just in time to grab the courtesy car. Despite what earlier reviews say, it is NOT a 24/7 deal and access is limited to 8-5. They did let us hold onto it overnight since we had a very early departure the following morning. Staff was really friendly, the facility is modern and nice, and self-serve fuel was simple. There is a new tie-down area, but make sure you have your own ropes. Motel6 would likely be walkable if the car was unavailable; it is older, though clean and very reasonably priced.

FBO is open 24/7, has a nice pilot lounge with a couch to sleep on, and the courtesy car is available 24/7 too. John's pancake house was real good and very cheep, just across the street. There's also a Walmart super center right across the street.
