i would not have even written review if we had not had to hear the light rail noise all night. Do not stay on the side facing train. It sounds like loud motorcycles. However bed very comfy bed and super friendly staff. Pay $12 to park which adds to room rate also. More

While the rooms were nice and clean, the stand out about this hotel is the service. The staff was very polite and helpful all along. But, near the end of our trip my friend broke her ankle and we spent much of the day in the hospital. The hotel was so accommodating of a more than late check out with... More

This Red lion hotel offers a convenient location, reasonable rate, free wi fi and friendly service. The room was clean but a little tired and a bit stale smelling. There's a 12 dollar a night fee for parking which is reasonable for an in city hotel. The convention center is super close as is a light rail stop and downtown... More

My wife and I stayed here for a business event at the Convention Center, which is right across the street. Yes, as other reviews said, the hotel is old and there is lots of street noise. The heating/air conditioning system is also marginal. However, for the price and the location. . . it is a fine deal, clean, comfortable, and... More

Very clean and reasonably priced hotel. Very friendly and acccomodating front desk staff. Short (and free) train ride to downtown, but very walkable. Would stay here again on a trip back to Portland. More

We have been staying here for a few years every month or two to visit family in the area. The staff is very friendly and helpful...same faces over the years so they must be happy employees. Cafe breakfasts are good and the wait staff attentive. A comfy bed is my priority and the ones here pass the test, rooms are... More

Spent 2 nights here recently and had a good stay. Yes, there was no free parking but that might be how they manage to keep the cost down. More

I just stayed at Red Lion Inn Portland. Its small, clean, had just what I needed, just across the street from Convention Center which is a great convenience in a rainy city, and the MAX train which I took from the airport stops across the street too. Cant beat that! More

The Red Lion at the Convention Centre in North East Portland is a convenient hotel for those who wish to stay at the city centre . It has wonderful connections to the airport - since the MAX, what the local train is called stop just outside the hotel. The rooms are fairly well apointed, clean queen sized beds, we had... More

What we liked: the bed linens, the comfy beds, the overall cleanliness. What we didn't like: the noise, thin walls, expensive parking, lack of individual AC and heat units in each room, although they tried to help this situation by providing a fan and space heater. The bathroom was in need of regrouting/refinishing. More of a 2-1/2 star hotel, at... More
