Top Willamette River Hotel Reviews

Oxford Suites Portland - Jantzen Beach

8/10 Good

"I love the breakfast buffet and the area is peaceful. We stayed there for 4 days & 3 nights, and I’ve been eating exactly the same foods. Good thing, there were bacon served instead of the sausages. It would be nice if you serve different foods alternately or add more variety of selections. Thank you!"

The Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown

8/10 Good

"Perfect room, atmosphere, staff, everything like that. The prices for things like drinks and snacks were pretty ridiculous, and the TV was cable and on demand only with 25 dollars needed to purchase a movie no matter what movie it was."

Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center
