  • Beautiful view of the river, excellent bed.
  • Unkept grounds, needs renovation.

“Beautiful location. Good hotel staff, very comfortable pillow top mattress. Flat screen TV. Large comfortable rooms. Small balconies with perfect view of the river. Landscaping not kept up, though. It almost looks abandoned, and the exterior has seen better days.”

  • Wireless internet connection in the room and decor of room.
  • Back enter door not very stable or secure, carpet in hallways buckling and was taped down.

“The view from the room was great, a nice looking outdoor pool and hot tub but did not use due to weather. Room decor was up to date and comfortable, wireless internet was free and easy to use.”

  • The pool area is beautiful-we had a wonderful picnic dinner outside.
  • Carpeting is pretty worn and shabby in many places.

“It is 2 minutes to the Jantzen Beach shopping area, has easy freeway access, Safeway with a Starbucks is 2 minutes away. We have eaten at the hotel restaurant- Shenanigans and it is very nice with a beautiful view. Once when we stayed here we brought our boat and tied it up at the hotel dock! The outdoor pool/hot tub area is nice-last time we were here the hot tub was a long ways from hot, but this time was great! We had to use the business center to print off some documents; that was nice and convenient. We've always found the staff helpful and friendly.”

  • The beds are comfortable. The hotel is quiet and close to the airport.
  • The bathtub had mold on the caulk,
    there is
    really no excuse for that.

“Overall, the hotel was pretty nice. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. The bathroom was large, the shower head was functional (not spraying water on the ceiling, etc.), the towels were fluffy and plentiful. I appreciated the free WI-FI access, and the flat screen TV with plenty of cable / satellite channels to choose from. The hotel bar had a nice view of the river. I would be happy to stay here again.”

  • Big and comfy, very nice rooms.

  • Great location, top notch amenities, balcony overlooking river, swimming pool, free parking, convenient to downtown and airport.
  • Carpet was very stained and the balcony could have used a table.

“Large convention type upscale hotel with all the amenities. Did not go to fitness center or either of the two restaurants, so can't comment on quality of either, but swimming pool area was very attractive. Very satisfied with staff, service and room.”

  • Large room.
  • Horrible access. It's on an island. One way on and off in the most congested area of the state.

“Room was huge and easy chair was so far from the TV that I had to sit on bed. Not comfortable. Nice balcony.”

  • Swimming pool, bathroom, balcony.
  • TV, elevator broke, reading light never worked and they did not fix.

“I would not recommend this hotel for leisure travelers like ourselves; TV only came in on a few channels; one of the lights was burned out and they never came and changed it; we like to play board games so it would've been nice; gift shop very poorly product staffed for such a huge hotel; staff was very friendly; they were not crowded and yet we got the parking lot view instead of river; elevator burned out which for a holiday is ok but inconvenient on 4th floor; we dined elsewhere at Stanford's and London Grill (Benson Hotel) because we did not want anything else going wrong. I have been there myself for conventions but never stayed overnight.”

  • Staff was accommodating and friendly.
  • In bad need of a remodel everything was worn and tired. Major water drip from upper floor that filled a 1/2 small garbage can.

“In bad need of remodel, carpet full of stains, water leak from floor above, cracks in the sink overall very tired and sad rooms.”

  • The shuttle service was awesome.
  • Loud - they were remodeling - it got loud too early.

“The best part of the hotel was the shuttle service. They picked us up and returned us to the airport, took us to and from the light rail train station the next day, and took us to and from dinner. The driver was very courteous and the service made our trip so easy. Our room was a river view corner room - absolutely awesome. Two whole walls were windows. The hotel itself was pretty corporate in its appeal, we were just lucky to have such a nice room. Also, they were remodeling and got started a little too early (7 am) in the room next to us - it was pretty loud for so early. Overall, it was a great experience. The view from our room was awesome and the shuttle service took a lot of the stress out of getting around in a new city.”

  • Large room with good amenities; lots of TV channels.
  • Not well cleaned prior to my arrival.

“This is not a location that is good if you need to be in downtown Portland for meetings in the mid morning. You have to leave by 6 AM to beat the rush traffic. However, it was much quieter than many downtown Lloyd Ctr area hotels. If they would vacuum more thoroughly and clean all sinks, it would have been an excellent stay.”

  • View of river and mount hood.
  • Located long distance from downtown core on tacky island.

“Not a business hotel. Freeway traffic into and out of the city to the island the hotel is located on was horrendous, better to stay in the city. The hotel more interested in large groups for reunion and weddings than individual business travelers since all the best rooms were held for these groups. My hallway was cluttered and dirty the entire two days I was there with chairs, cleaning supplies, dirty laundry containers, vacuums. A large group of party revelers congregated at end of hallway at night with incredible noise. The check in staff was not accommodating and could have cared less about my request for a room with at least some view.”

  • Good location, spacious room and pet friendly.
  • Bad and old mattresses, old pillows and unclean bathroom.

“It was easy to find the hotel from the interstate. The room was spacious, pet friendly and good price. But mattresses and pillows were old and bathroom wasn't clean. The hotel smelled like smoke.”
