If convenience and comfort are a priority, its hard to find a better spot to lay your head than the Red Lion Portland Convention Center. Only blocks away from downtown accessible via car, foot, or Portland's free rail system, MAX. Catch the sunset falling over Porland's downtown skyline from the hotel's Windows Sky room and terrace. Grab a quick breakfast or light dinner at the hotel's own Cafe 10-2-1, and feel free to blow off some steam in the fully equipped fitness center.This hotel is 100% smoke free.

the hotel was clean. there was construction going on but this did not affect us in any way. the beds were comfortable, and the room was large enough for 3 teenagers(one slept on the floor in a bed roll) and they all were very comfortable. Breakfast was available on-site for purchase and was freshly made(pancakes/fresh fruit/omelets) and was delicious. this place was no frills but was fine: clean,secure. On-site parking was * overnight. Downtown Portland is easily reached by driving over one if several bridges.
Didn't spend much time in the room, since they don't provide heat unless the outside temperature is below 55F. Dingy carpet color that doesn't match walls makes it seem dirty when it might not be. Cramped, but adequate amenities. Best feature is location: across from the Convention Center and the free light rail into downtown or Lloyd Center.
This hotel is in a great location for many Portland activities, and the staff are great at helping one find discounts when one is a business traveller. But...disabled parking for guests is in a dark basement area in which one has to use a card key or buzz the front desk (up one level) to get in...it can be quite unnerving after dark if one uses a wheelchair. The front desk staff are great, and I can't say enough about the accessibility of my room in comparison to several I'd stayed in during recent days (I was on a rigorous tour). There were more bars in the bathroom than most prisons - and actually well-placed, which I find a rare delicacy. Sink was roll-under and knobs were quad-friendly. There was an actual bathtub (YES!! I HATE when they force us to shower w/ those roll-in abominations...I want a CHOICE!) w/ a sturdy tub seat with a back - AND they'd recognized our need for extra towels w/o my asking! The closet was wheelchair height. I do have to agree that it was difficult to regulate the temperature in my room, and (as mine was right above the lobby entrance -231) I could hear everything anyone said from outside my windows, which had no insulation, but did have darkness blinds. I would stay here again, mostly because of the great business rate I got and the helpfulness of the staff (they have a security guard on duty in the basement parking after dark, which was very reassuring) and the really good omelet I got from room service!
While the hotel was in a good location, you'd expect more from a Red Lion. The room was crackerbox size. The building is at a set temperature and there is no control over the heat or air conditioning. The hotel offers a heater or a fan. It was cold in Portland and we literally froze, we took the bedding from the other bed. The hotel changed our room to another floor they believed to be warmer, but it was also cold. Noises from the hallway and other rooms were audible throughout the night. We would not stay there again.
A good value for a Portland hotel. Right on the MAX line so it is very convenient to get around town. It is in "Fareless Square" so there is no cost to ride the MAX line across the river into downtown Portland. The hotel itself is showing its age. It is a little run down, especially the carpets in the hallways, and bathrooms. It is otherwise clean and he beds are comfortable. The wireless internet is slow, with low connectivity even on the second floor.
The hotel was a breeze to get to, right on the Max line. It was a convenient location to get to downtown, the zoo, children's museum etc... The only drawback to location was that there was only a Dennys and Red Robin within walking distance to eat at. The room was nice. It was clean and they had Bath and Body Works products in the bathroom. The bed was a pillow top, but VERY soft. Also, the pillows weren't all that great, so if you are particular about that, you may want to bring your own. The temperature of the room is controlled by the hotel, but there was a floor fan in the room for added comfort. Another plus was the mini fridge and microwave in the room. Great for us traveling with small children! We would stay here again! One thing that could make the hotel even better would be a pool. Front desk staff was very helpful with directions and suggestions.
