“Best Hotel In Portland, OR”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

The Avalon Hotel & Spa is the very best place we have stayed at in Portland now. I travel for business and pleasure and now have stayed at the Lucia, The NInes and the Avalon. The Avalon is the cleanest with the best atmosphere. It is not downtown, but that's ok because you have everything you need. Comp. breakfast, coffee, paper. View of the river in some rooms. Riverside Rest. next door. State of the art fitness and spa. Also, the king beds, large rooms and fantastic bathrooms made me sleep like a baby!

I will be back!

“Single mother's getaway! :)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

I loved my whole stay from the fresh fruit flavored water, to the beautiful river view, and the hotel's restraunt was so good and great service! I got to get a massage from their spa, and it was wonderful and I highly reccomend it. I loved how hospitable the whole hotel was, looking forward to another "staycation" soon!!

“Beautiful hotel on river with excellent staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

My husband and I stay at this hotel every time we visit Portland. Our daughter goes to Reed College, and it offers collegiate family discounts. The rooms are comfortable and luxurious, and the restaurant is outstanding. The staff is always friendly and go out of their way to help. The location is convenient to downtown and several colleges, and it is located on the Willamette River. We won't stay anywhere else.

“Luxury on the riverside”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is very comfortable, with views of the Willamette valley and modern facilities. Getting there by streetcar following the website's directions was not quite as straightforward as it could have been. We decided to leave the car at home since parking there is valet-only and quite expensive. Portland is a good city for getting around on foot. The food at the restaurant is excellent, though it was some time before we were seated.

“Lovely waterfront retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We had a lovely and very relaxing "staycation" the room was very comfortable, excellent bed and exquisite view - and so very very quiet which i love. We had an excellent meal at Acquariva topped by a fantastic wine recommendation from the sommelier for an affordable and outstanding petite verdot.
It was lovely to wake to a view of Mt Hood and stroll along the waterfront in the morning. Far exceeded my expectations
