"Portland's only downtown waterfront hotel. This alone would be enough to recommend the hotel, but its quiet boutique-hotel atmosphere would make it an excellent choice even if it weren't on the water." Full review
Insight Guides
"Downtown's only riverfront hotel is set next to the Tom McCall Waterfront Park. The plush modern rooms are decorated in sand tones, and make the most of the wonderful views."

Be sure to request a new room, as a few oldies are still in the mix.
