Top John Ross Tower Hotel Reviews

The Duniway Portland A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Not sure why there were as many negative reviews as there are because this place was nice. It is downtown Portland so take that for what it’s worth. Although I do agree the floors next to the pool do smell of chlorine. Luckily I paid extra for a room on a higher level. Our flight came in at 930, we got there at 1030am and we were able to check in early for a small fee. So much nicer than having to wander around until we could check in."

The Paramount Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for three nights and overall it was good. It’s in a good location to catch the MAX, nice selection of restaurants, and other things to check out. What I did not like was that the fan & shower plug in the bathroom of our room was broken. It makes me wonder how well their rooms are checked because it was not hard to miss the plug being crooked off the side of the drain. I also didn’t like that when I asked the valet if we had to use them or if there was somewhere else to park they pointed towards the garage north of them but then said “but I wouldn’t, it’s not great reviews.” So being out of town we trusted that, well when we went to pick up our car we noticed the next valet coming out of that garage. The garage we were told we shouldn’t use because of the bad reviews… we could have parked there ourselves and paid 1/2 the price. I wish we would have looked into parking around the area before arriving. It just kind of rubbed me the wrong way that they basically said we shouldn’t park there and then they valet park our vehicles there anyways. Kind of sketch. In all though, good experience. Would stay here again, just probably find parking that’s not $60 a night."

Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at this hotel before, very nice. Liked the bar for drinks and snacks. Last summer, the area didn’t seem as dirty, and there were less homeless, and more businesses open. Sad, but has nothing to do with the hotel. Would stay again."

The Hotel Zags Portland

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute cozy room, nice and clean. Staff were wonderful and the bar downstairs has an awesome bartender who made delicious cocktails. It was a wonderful stay!"

Eastside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Clean room and comfortable bed. Good shower. Helpful staff. Unfortunately the elevator was broken and the room was on the third floor. Parking was easy. Well lighted area that felt safe at night and had a couple late night spots to eat at. Looks like a cool area to explore in the daytime."

"We had the BEST experience!!! 5 stars ⭐️"

University Place Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good

AC Hotel by Marriott Portland Downtown, OR

8/10 Good

"Perfectly located, close to the city center, with really good restaurants around. The staff isn't on top of everything and doesn't seem to care: I had to request coffee pods and cups several times, before they forgot to refill my room. But the room was clean and comfortable."

The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Portland

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. Great location. Great food and friendly staff."
