I attended an event at this location on Monday, May 20, 2013. I was very disappointed in the food and service. We were served a chicken breast that tasted like a flash frozen chicken breast that had been in the freezer well past its suggested time. The meal was cold, tasteless and rubbery. As we sat down all salads were... More

We visited this location over Memorial Day weekend with some friends while hiking at Silver Falls State Park -- only a little over an hour away. My last experience at a Crown Plaza (Denver) wasn't very good so my expectations were fairly low. I was pleasantly surprised when we received our room keys and found a very clean and modern... More

I stayed here for a conference since it's a few blocks away from the convention center. The atmosphere and the furnishings have a pseudo-luxury feel. The bed was fairly comfy; I've had less comfortable stays at other hotels. They have a Keurig instant-brew machine, but the coffee options were disgusting. No blow-dryer available; given the price/night you'd think that would... More

We stayed at this property for five nights and overall, we really enjoyed our stay. This hotel is located on the east side of the river and a bit removed from the downtown area, but still exceptionally close without a lot of the hassles. Some major perks of this location were quick access to streetcars are the MAX lines, a... More

If you ever plan on holding an event in Portland, do not use Crown Plaza convention center. We held a dinner auction event on Monday, May 20th and were embarrassed by the dinner,warm wine and lousy house sound system. The frozen super dry chicken was served 30 minutes late. The white wine was served room temperature, and the sound system... More

Stayed just one night. Very nice hotel. We usually stay on the other side of the river, but were visiting friends in the NE section of Portland and decided to try the Crowne Plaza for a change. It was very convenient for us and would be to anyone in town for a convention or event at the Rose Garden -... More

We stayed only one night for an event at the Rose Garden (Veteran's Memorial). We were able to leave our car at the hotel and walk about 5 blocks to the venue. The hotel is very nicely appointed. Our room faced the freeway and even with earplugs was noisy. The 6:30 AM delivery truck backing into the hotel (on a... More

Just a few minutes walk to the train station, where you can easily get to the downtown area. The bus costs $2.50 one way. There is also a complimentary shuttle that the hotel provides to local areas and they will pick you up too. Shuttle to the airport too. Just 6 blocks from the Lloyd Center mall. Free Internet access... More

The room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. A couple of drawbacks were the lack of power outlets in the room for my laptop, cell phone and a fee for parking (a nominal amount).
