Travel + Leisure "if you want to get any sleep at all, be sure to ask for a room overlooking the “quiet courtyard.”" Full review
DK Eyewitness "Whimsically decorated and furnished with antiques, classrooms-turned-guestrooms still have their chalkboards and clocks, but now they also have private bathrooms."
Rough Guide "Unique rooms in a refurbished 1915 schoolhouse with chalkboards and cloakrooms, plus modern appointments."
Fodor's "In a renovated elementary school in northeast Portland, this may well be one of the most unusual (and awesome) hotels you'll ever encounter." Full review
Gayot "The walls are adorned with amazing art, from historical photos to mosaics to Indonesian wood panels."

Star Service "Adjacent to the Lloyd Convention Center, on the other side of the river from lively downtown Portland, but with easy access via public transport (Portland's light rail, MAX, is just across the street), this middling operation's knight in shining armor has just arrived." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Completely renovated for a 2015 opening, the Eastlund is located in an upcoming neighborhood in Northeast Portland." Full review
Lonely Planet "From the lobby on up, it's all ultra-modern furniture, huge art, bright colors and open spaces." Full review

Gayot "This artsy boutique hotel is right at home in forward-thinking Portland."
Fodor's "The stylish rooms are outfitted California king beds; smart-technology refrigerators, phones, clocks, and other gadgets; airy bathrooms with smoked-glass walk-in showers." Full review

"The upper-middle-range Hotel Eastland holds the distinction of being one of the closest properties to the Oregon Convention Center and Moda Center—both are a short walk away." Full review
Afar Magazine "Rising from the ashes of the 60’s Red Lion Hotel is the east side’s new entry into the Portland hip hotel scene - the Eastlund." Full review
