Oxford Suites Portland - Jantzen Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was great. Located close to i5. Lots of amenities. Very clean. Unfortunately hot tub was cold which we only found out when we tried to go into it. Even reception was ok - 1 free drink or 1 pop per person and soup with bread. Breakfast was ok - standard hotel breaky with hot and cold options. No longer have an omelette bar and no made to order omelettes. Great stay. Would recommend and would stay again!"

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at "La Casita" for 8 days and enjoyed each one. The home was all we hoped it would be. We loved the landscaping and the interior design. The home was very clean and had everything we would ever need for our stay. We very much appreciated the welcome basket which added to the charm of the home. We had the pleasure to meet Lupe. She is a very sweet person and it was great chatting with her. We enjoyed the front porch each morning and evening. We also became frequent customers of the bakery, Simply Sweets, located just across the street. Our stay in Vancouver was a wonderful time and the house was the cherry on top !!July 17th - 25th 2026"
