Top South Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Airport - Portland by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was undergoing renovations, but this did not affect our stay at all. Our room was obviously newly renovated. It was beautiful and the beds were incredibly uncomfortable. Also, the shuttle from the airport and then back to the airport to pick up our car rental, went without a hitch. The staff was very polite and helpful. We just stayed the night, but it was very enjoyable."

Hyatt House Portland/Downtown

8/10 Good

"This hotel had a great location a block from a very nice riverfront paved walkway that went on for at least 3 miles. The room was large but in need of an update. The shower was large with great water pressure. The free breakfast was very nice and covered all the food groups. This hotel has NO onsite parking. We parked across the street for $24.00 overnight. I would stay at this hotel again."

Hotel Eastlund, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This location is perfect for us. We didn’t eat at the restaurant upstairs this time because Portland does have a lot of great choices, however, it is good food, and I love the possibility of that. The room was clean as could be the bed was comfortable – I like everything about this hotel except perhaps valet parking."

Red Lion Hotel Portland Airport

6/10 Okay

"Hotel was a relatively clean place to sleep and cleaning staff were pleasant. Physical condition of hotel needs work. Our key cards needed to be reset 4-5 different times because they randomly got demagnetized. Door to our room was physically difficult to open. Outdoor access door was supposed to be a card key entry, but they did not actually lock. Anyone could open the door from the outside. Front door staff were not attentive, carried on side conversations while checking us in and did not effectively address our key card concerns. "
