Where to start? We tried to keep open our south facing small window because of the "two pipe" heating/cooling system and there was no air conditioning. However, the staff dutifully closed the window each day. They lent us a fan, which helped a bit. It also helped to drown out the noise from the max rail. The rooms are small.... more

Excellent service from all the sales staff - follow up was key for coordinating our huge group. The convention lasted forever but the easy access to downtown and the convention center made it easy to relax, work and have a little fun. Group rates were a major selling point. more

Nothing special, nothing bad. Just an older hotel with a great location that's very convenient for going to the Rose Garden (walking distance.) more

Stayed here for a conference in mid-September. As the property is directly across from the Portland Convention Center, it is extremely convenient. The building is old but the public areas and rooms have been updated. There is a cafe off the lobby and a lounge, with a great view, on the top floor. Check in was quick and the staff... more

Looking for a hotel near PDX airport, and won a priceline "name your own price" bid on this hotel. I've stayed at many 4-star hotels, but sometimes (often when not traveling for business) simply seek a decent place (2 or 3-star) to stay. The latter best describes this property - Decent. Thumbs up: -Free (and working) in-room WiFi -Complimentary Peet's... more

If I had read the reviews posted here before I booked, I would have stayed elsewhere. What other guests said about the hotel's temperature system and policy is spot on. It's bad. I booked a room here to escape the heat wave when the temperature was 106 one day and 104 the next. That was a mistake. The temp in... more

The hotel staff was very professional, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable of the city areas to visit. The restaurant was also professional - great food, fast service, very attentive and friendly service. The hotel location was perfect for the free fare train downtown or east to shopping and across the street from the convention center. The room was clean and comfortable. more

The staff was the best thing about this place. Single pane glass lots of noise from the Max line, parking lot and street. When I booked with Red Lion, they did not bother to tell me the Lounge was closed for renovation, we were looking forward to an evening on overlooking the city and enjoying a glass or two of... more

This hotel STRANGELY has a rule about what date they start their air conditioning and each April it warms up prior to their HARD AND FAST RULE about turn in on in May. I have had such uncomfortable nights, sweating and wishing I were elsewhere. I PAY almost THE FULL PRICE,convention rate and after this last time, I probably will... more
