The Marriott City Center will offer the gov’t rate. It’s a bit further (still walkable), but the streetcar will drop you off kitty-corner from the building and should be close to any of the city center hotels. You can get a pack of 5 1-day passes for $25 here: http://store.trimet.org/view_cart.asp?catid=8

FYI, the group rate of 179$ is way above the DOE max lodging costs (137$). I'd expect most DOE folks to not be able to use this.
