Great Location - right on the river with excellent views from every room. Restaurant has tasty meals - especially breakfast. Old Town Oregon City - the end of the pioneer trail - is a unique place to walk around. Good value for the rooms.
We were pleasantly surprised. Check in was very efficient and professional. Beautiful room very comfortable bed. Beautiful view of the river. The only negative with our stay was the parking was limited do to construction. Our breakfast in the on premeses resturant good.
Called to get a rate quote for an upcoming stay and front desk agent JORDAN was beyond rude!!! If this is the way that the staff at this hotel treats its potential guests, then I don['t want to have anything to do with this hotel!! I really don't understand how the staff is able to get away with talking to guests that way---I'll take my business elsewhere and tell everyone I come into contact with DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THIS HOTEL!!!
The rooms are nice, the water pressure in the bathrooms is fantastic. The bathrooms do need a fan that works though. It gets pretty steamy after a shower. The restaurants and bar are good. The food is good and the room service is ok (they told us 20 minutes and it took 45) and it's pricy for what you get. There are not enough towels in the bathroom for more than one and a half people. There are 2 tiny pillows on the bed. If you like more towels or pillows call or ask for them before you arrive. The rooms are clean, the cups are all wrapped in plastic, the heat and a/c work. The view is nice. When we were there the elevator broke and we had an injured person and 2 babies. They did give us a small credit. It was unfortunate. Still a decent place to stay.
I decided to stay here because it was closer to the meeting I was attending in West Linn. From the outside they are doing a exterior renovation so it's kind of looks like it is under construction. The hotel was easy to find off the highway. Check in was smooth. The room was clean and spacious. I at dinner and breakfast at the restaurant attached to the hotel, and a beverage at the bar. I used the fitness room and it was ok, but could have used a newer treadmill and someway to clean up behind you, even simple Clorox wipes. All in all I would never hesitate to stay here again. A much cheaper alternative to downtown Portland.
Lets cover the good first, then the bad and finish with the ugly! Good, included an easy check in, really nice people in the office. Parking a little tight because the remodel is still going on and they are storing materials in about 10 or 12 under cover parking places. When you check in, you receive a coupon for $7 for each person in the party to eat breakfast at the attached restaurant. There is also an appetizer coupon for the evening that we did not use. It is not the hotels restaurant but run separately by a private party. Rooms appear to have been redone since we stayed about 3 years ago. Nicely done and still looking pretty well preserved. There is a small balcony with a tiny table and a couple of wicker type chairs. Nice to sit out on during the warmer months. TV worked well, lots of programs and could not hear neighbors but then we don't know if we had any. If we did, the walls are good. Room was clean, except for a carpet problem. All the rooms look out onto the dead end surface street that passes by and you also have the lovely river view. Street is pretty quiet even though it has traffic. There are no rooms facing directly to the high way on the other side of the hotel, just the interior hallway faces that way. The freeway is to the left when looking out from your balcony and there is a little traffic noise but very minor. I would guess the freeway to be about a hundred yards away. If you would like to take a walk in that direction, there is a nice little park next to the river with restrooms and some interpretive signs about the area. Under the term bad, I would say to have a coat on during the winter when you are in the halls because the inside halls do not appear to have heater vents and it was a little nippy in the hall, my wife says it was downright cold. We actually took a bath towel and laid it along the bottom of the door inside the room to keep out the cold hall draft. There are new in wall heater/air units in the rooms. Not the quietest I have experienced so we turned it off during the night and flipped a coin to see who got up in the morning to turn it on. LOL. Another bad is the carpet in our room had large stains near the door. Three or four 6 to 8" size stains that really looked bad. Carpet should be replaced in the area because it makes you think what else is not clean in the room. Those spots were so out of place in the otherwise clean room. We think the halls had new carpeting. The desk chair was also dirty with stains and we sat on a towel when using it. Nice, adequate closet space. Sink is around the corner before entering the tub/shower area where the commode is, (that means toilet for you youngsters). We stayed 2 nights and the maid service was exceptional. We were short on towels though but we survived. Now for the, ugly! I have never heard a bathroom ceiling fan as loud as this one, until the neighbor turned theirs on! Why do you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to remodel a place and leave in a very loud fan? It also had a flood night in the socket with the fan. It was not a heat lamp, just a flood. There was a microwave that had scorch marks in it in the bedroom area. A refrigerator that kept going on and off with the most irritating wine sound you can imagine. After a couple of hours I got up and un-plugged it. Slept well the rest of the night! By the way, loved the comforters, they keep you warm, but not hot. Mattresses were perfect. lots of pillows but we bring our own. We didn't want to get up in the morning. We will stay here again. Prices are a little high but after seeing other places with lower prices that were down right ugly, we chose to stay here and are happy we did. Now a word about using your coupon for the restaurant. I would have to say it was okay, maybe a 3 out of 5. Lots of food but not the best in flavor. Give it a try, don't waste the coupons. Our second morning was only $1, so we tipped well but then the service was exceptional!
First off this is my first stay at this hotel but I am a Diamond member I have stayed at many BW hotels. This hotel is under repair and parking is tight for anything other than a small car. The front desk staff was polite but seemed unsure of processes. So as to not sound pretentious room upgrades, acknowledgement and often a water and treat are part of being a Diamond member. None of these happened. I did ask for an upgrade eventually and they moved me from a single queen to a double queen. I guess that is an upgrade. She handed me a coupon for a free appetizer if I bought an entree at the restaurant. I asked if there was breakfast. She said I hadn't purchased that option. I didn't know what she meant so she explained that since I had booked on Expedia and had not selected the breakfast option that I was not entitled to one. I advised her I had booked on the BW app. She then said I did get a breakfast and gave me a voucher for 7 dollars which only covered 2 out of the 20 breakfast options and that didn't include juice or coffee. I got to the elevator and boy is it small. 2 people with one bag each might fit with someone pushing from the outside. Also requires your key card to use it. Got to my room complete with a popcorn ceiling and light fixture from the 70s. The beds were comfy and the A/C and heater worked well. The Bathroom had mildew on the walls in a few places and the shower head was 7.5 feet up. I could barely reach it and the lowest it would spray was the back of the tub. They can take off the extension that was added and it would be just right. Also, the faucet on the tub will not hold position so the temp changes during your shower. All of the hooks for the shower curtain were open and the soap and shampoo are not what is depicted online. They were of poor quality. The WiFi worked well but the TV was very dim even with the lights off. I tried to get into the setting to adjust the brightness but there was no such option. I described my breakfast experience in another post. It was not a good one.
Generally the hotel is clean and I like that it accepts pets but every time I go there the staff is very argumentative and rude (the Hispanic daytime girl). She has no problem calling a guest a liar in so many words and is very condescending. Every time I have stayed there she has started with me about something and made me regret going there. To bad its the only hotel in Oregon City or I would probably never go there again until she was fired (which she needs to be).
Got a great rate here and since I travel for business and have a limited budget this was a great find. A few not so good items first- The hotel is currently being renovated but it did not seem to disturb any of the hotels daily business operations. Second- the traffic is horrendous at this exit. Did I say horrendous? Expect dead stop traffic any time around the morning or evening rush hours. That being said the staff was very friendly and there are great views of the river if you are on that side of the property. The restaurant and bar seemed to be patronized by locals and the food was good and fast and the staff was friendly. The property is older but well maintained with large rooms, comfortable beds, large fluffy towels and very clean. I didn't recall any smell that others reviewers had mentioned, smelled just fine to me. The rooms had new large screen TVs with a good channel selection and microwaves and refrigerators. Big bathroom and large desk with table and two chairs. Even had a porch with chairs to view the river. I definitely would stay here again. It was more than a bargain for the price I paid. Make sure you ask for a room facing the river.
I highly recommend this hotel. The staff is great and will go out of their way to make you feel at home. I'm on the road quite often on business so its nice when you get this type of service. On this last trip because of construction i got a room that didn't fit my needs but when I got it to their attention they immediately found a room the fit my needs.
The first thing people should know is about the single old elevator and how tiny it is. The luggage cart is literally exactly as long as the elevator is deep. And they don't turn. So when you push it in, you cannot turn it so you can get in. You have to get in first and then pull it in. Before you do that, send anyone with you up first so they can help you get the cart out of the elevator. The next thing is that the hotel cranks the heat up so high that they open the windows in the hall to make it bearable. Then third thing is the odor. Oh my goodness, the staff uses strong scents to cover up the age of the hotel and the use it's had. Also, the restaurant is SUPER EXPENSIVE for what you get. This is not how it used to be. Seriously. It used to be a 5 star experience. Oh how the mighty have fallen. We now stay elsewhere. And that is sad.
I have always enjoyed staying at this hotel. The views are amazing, the service and employees are attentive, the check-in/out process couldn't be any easier. I always recommend this hotel to people when asking where is a good, safe place to stay with excellent rates and clean rooms.
Typical BW hotel room with comfy bed, fridge and microwave, coffee in room, pool, attached restaurant ( more on that later), a little dated but clean and comfy. They are renovating the exterior right now, nice to see updates coming. Almost every room has a balcony with nice views of the Willamette River. No ground floor rooms but there are elevators. Good parking (some covered) and easy access to I-205. Close to downtown Oregon City - easy walk or drive to several bars and restaurants, which you should check out because it's a neat town. Very close to Lake Oswego area too. There is a McDonalds next door and Shari's across the street. Excellent dog walking along the riverside park and bike path right by the hotel. Friendly homeless people do frequent the park - not really an issue but they are there. Instead of a cramped "breakfast room" like you find in so many BW's, there is an actual sit-down restaurant on site. You'll get coupons for a discount on check in ($8/person) so a very decent breakfast won't cost much - but wont be "free" either unless you order the least thing - which you shouldn't since they have a good selection of very tasty food. Good service too. There is also a full service bar/lounge for the evenings. Quirk 1: Rooms have a cramped angled entryway which makes it a bit difficult to maneuver with luggage - especially if someone is standing by the sink/mirror when you open the door which brings me to Quirk 2: Tiny counter space with little room for spreading out cosmetics/accessories/etc. (see photo). Summary: Good inexpensive place, we've stayed there at least three times and will go back.
The location of the hotel was conveniently located to the area we needed to be. It is very basic, clean and the staff was friendly. And it was nice to wake up to a river view. I would recommend this property for anyone who doesn't mind a basic place for a couple nights.
My family booked a three-four day stay for the wedding party of our niece who got married in Oregon City recently. We had over 40 people from all over the country staying in the hotel from Wednesday through Sunday. Our rooms were clean, and pretty large for an older hotel; the staff was very courteous and helpful; the amenties were nice and the beds were comfortable. The in-house restaurant had good food but they were not prepared for our visit. Many of us ate breakfast each day and used the $7 off coupons. They were understaffed and that created long waits before, during and after eating. Knowing that the rooms were booked more than a month in advance, I would have thought that the hotel would have prepared with more staff. Many of the young people went to the bar area after spending the day sightseeing or at wedding events. They were complimentary of the bar staff and the trivia contest and karioki that took place. all in all, it was a pleasant experience and we would stay in this hotel again if we return.
Easy access on and off I 205. Beautiful setting overlooking the river. Park nearby. The restaurant breakfast had a great variety was very good. Did hear the people above me walking around at 5 AM. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Noisy. Noisy air conditioner. Noisy fan. Noisy frig. Traffic noise. Bathroom fan noise. Great little bar. Close to where I needed to be. Clean. Convenient parking. So much potential. But WAY too noisy.
I'm glad to see the hotel exterior being updated. The new stucco and color scheme is a definite improvement long overdue. The next door restaurant is a pleasant surprise and we preferred it to the across the street offerings.
I may have wanted a dog friendly room, but definitely didn't appreciate a room that smelled of tons of dogs staying in the room! They don't have a breakfast buffet, but give you a voucher at the restaurant on premises. Voucher barely pays for a cup of coffee. Homeless people are all around. Hotel staff calls them "River Rats". Do your self a favor and stay somewhere else!
I stayed at the Best Western Plus Rivershore Hotel in Oregon City for two nights. This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and both times have been excellent experiences. The hotel is going under some construction right now but it was easy to move around the hotel/parking lot and they did not start any work until after 8:30 AM and stopped around 4:00 PM or so. Staff was excellent and gave a couple of recommendations for restaurants in the area. I will be staying at this hotel in the future.
Overall the trip was great. My two complaints were the lighting of the room. Dark... And the bouncy bed. It is hard on your back. Restaurant was good and the people were great....Pet areas are behind the hotel and a grassy knoll.
Comfortable, clean rooms over looking the Willamette River. Staff has always been most helpful. The rooms are clean and spacious, each with a deck on the river side. Rooms comfortable and beds a comfortable.
After working at a trade show for 8 hours, we really appreciated the kind, efficient staff. At every turn, the service was evident: ample close parking, easy check-in, ice machine near our room, and the best of all, an adjacent restaurant. Rooms are clean, efficiently arranged with ample space. As the name implies, the motel is on the River shore with a lovely walking path.
Noisy both inside and outside; does not include breakfast, just a discount at attached restaurant which is not enough to cover breakfast; poor parking situation; homeless people wandering around outside.
A good budget hotel. The front desk and shuttle service for weddings was great. Good location, lots of other services near by, room had slight musty smell, a little tired around the edges. Breakfast with $7 discount coupon over looking the river was great. One could tell that the staff tries hard to make up for some minor shortfalls.
Very nice hotel, we had a river view and it was very nice. Large room and all the amenities. Had breakfast at the hotel dining room and it was very good, with a view of the river. Convenient to the expressway system.
Even though there was construction during our stay, we did not hear it and our stay was not affected by it. Great view of the river and a nice park located nearby. The room was spacious and comfortable. There is a small pool and hot tub in the hotel.
In town for a family wedding. Location worked out well, hotel had a nice breakfast and the staff were very helpful. Some renovation is occurring but that did not cause any difficulty.Nice view of the river and good walking paths.
Please note that there is construction going on at this location (early September 2016). Construction started before 7am. You may wake to the rhythmic sounds of hammers hitting nails. I should have been tipped off by the earplugs in the drawer next to Gideons' Bible. Parking is limited, and spaces are smallish. Ice maker didn't work on the 4th floor.
Stayed here for a week to attend a local conference. The TV remote was DOA and later replaced by staff. Cheap plastic toilet seat was about to fall off. I tightened it by hand so I could use it. How could housekeeping not notice that when cleaning. As the afternoon sun moved to the sliding glass door leading to the small balcony I got a closer look at the entire room. There was dirty rain water on the screen and glass as well as the 2 chairs and table that overlooks a nice view of the river. We cleaned the deck furniture. It had not rained there in several weeks. Is there a cleaning schedule? Found that it was pet friendly as one couple on the floor had three dogs. I had no pets, but there were three large pet stains on the well worn carpet. There was enough dust on the chest of drawers/TV stand for me to write "dust me" with my finger. The recliner had deep dirt stains on the arms and headrest and showed excessive use. A large highway about 200 feet away provides 24/7 noise and jake brakes, and there was a very busy railroad track there that sounded horns almost with glee at all hours of the night. Parking lot was not big enough for the rooms available. They are apparently full always, so if you stay out past about 7:00 PM or so you get to park across the street. Several people in the conference had similar complaints about this Motel. It seemed to me that for $150. per day it could have been nicer. The sponsor of this event will take a closer look at available lodging in the future.
Very good with lovely view. Staff were professional and polite. Nice to have restaurant attached and voucher coupons for breakfast. Not enough parking in lot and very high car prowl area in alternate parking location across the street - a truck was broken into in front of my car overnight.
Beautiful river view. Excellent service from employees, going above and beyond. Would definitely recommend it for everybody. Oregon City is a very charming old town with lots of cute shops and neat places to eat.
I don't know what this is, seems like I have already answered all the questions, I am not sure what else I can put . The staff was very friendly, if there is anymore needed I will opt out of this survey.
We were here for our daughter's wedding at a nearby venue, Pros: Excellent hotel staff, We had a wedding cake that needed to be refrigerated for the night, they let us keep it in there cooler. views great, walking path right next to the river, shopping at strip mall was in walking distance. Cons: Parking not convenient, hallways not air conditioned, elevator very small.
The price was very reasonable for being this close to the VA hosp. All staff were friendly & the complex was very clean & well maintained. Everything was as advertised. The room was sparkling clean when we arrived & nicely decorated. We used the staircase for the exercise. It was spotless, very well lite, had double handrails and nice wide steps. Internet was a bit slow, but as we were not doing business it did not affect us. More channels on the tv would have been nice, including MSNBC and a commercial free movie channel.
Just outside of Portland OR, situated with views of the river just across the street. High end room accommodations that are quiet and well appointed. More like a Marriott. Restaurant was very good with a great menu choices.
This is our hotel of choice in the Portland area. We are never disappointed in the facilities and the staff. Each room has a river view with a balcony. Easy to get to and well worth the money. Upgrades to lobby and exterior are in progress, but did not disrupt our stay at all.
We were very pleased with our stay. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The view from our private balcony was gorgeous. If you travel with a dog, as do we, Rivershore has a lot to offer. Dog friendly with a potty area off the parking lot and a very nice river front walking trail just across the street. The restaurant is connected to the hotel. We enjoyed drinks and delicious items off the bar menu. There is some traffic noise from the bridge nearby but did not detier from our enjoyment. We look forward to a return stay.
This was our 2nd time staying at this BW property. Very satisfied with the experience and would definitely stay here again. Loved the view of the river! Very calming. Convenient to lots of shopping and restaurants. Great place for a "home base" as you explore surroundings. Clackamas Town Center mall is very close and awesome place for shopping.
We just needed a one night stay between visiting friends and family and Oregon City was perfectly in the middle. We called ahead for the reservation on our drive and checked in at around 11pm. We could see that there was construction going on and both quietly hoped that we wouldn't notice in the morning -- so so wrong. At 7:30am we woke with a start from a very loud knock on our door. They wanted to know our last name. Strange, but okay. After getting back in bed, I felt suspicious so I called the front desk. They indeed needed to confirm which room we were in - apparently whoever checked us in, didn't mark our room properly. Super unfortunate, but whatever. A half hour later, at 8am, very loud banging commenced down the hall - construction started. So much for sleeping until check out...
Hotel is in a great location with an attached restaurant with a view of the river and a shopping center right across the street. The hotel was clean and comfortable with comfortable bedding and pillows. It was also nice and quiet. Desk clerks were friendly.
Husband and I have been coming to this hotel once a year for the past four years. Always wonderful. Very well run. Great staff. Restaurant (independently owned) is also great. Nice location, patios, rooms overlook river.
The room was very comfortable and it was conveniently located not far from both freeways (5 and 205). I kept waiting and waiting for the hotel to ask for me to fill out the review on the internet for our BW membership. Nothing ever came. Maybe that is because there was a problem with checking in and also paying the bill. Upon check in, even though I am the one who is always making the reservations, they insisted upon having my husband get out of the car to tell them he was with me and I could check in. His name is on the BW card, but if she would have checked the computer, my name is also on the account. It was just a little inconvenience that I've never run into before at a Best Western hotel. The other thing was that the front desk clerk tried to charge me extra over the agreed-upon amount due. She said that the tax rate had changed since I had made my reservation only two weeks before, so she wanted me to okay the bill for $1.89 more than my contract said. Of course I refused to pay more than our contract said, and finally she agreed to what my paper work said. It was just a little inconvenience, but I had no way at that moment to check to see if the tax rate had changed since making my reservation. A contract is a contract. That is why I ALWAYS print out my contract and have it with me. Would I stay there again? Maybe yes, maybe no. I'd have to give it some thought.
I was in town for my son's wedding and had an amazing stay. The restaurant has very good food. Try there burgers they are amazing. Check out was a breeze and Eva and Jodi were very helpful and friendly. I was greeted every time I came in and out of the lobby with a welcoming smile and friendly Good Morning. If I'm in the area again I will stay here again!
we plan on studying there again soon. Great location loved the view from the room. Enjoyed looking out at the river. The staff was great and did everything they could to help us in anyway. I will be back and refer my friends.
This hotel is extremely overpriced! The room had a terrible smell, and the bathtub did not drain properly. I would stay at another location for sure. Way too expensive! The only good part of staying here was the view from the room overlooking the river.
great place. I would suggest for everyone to stay there. i wish i could move in. The view of the river is awesome. sometime i think about peeing in the water while i am in my room. I look at that water and think to myself how great it would be if i could just pee in that water right now.
Very nice hotel. Stayed on 4th floor with very good view of river. Very quiet. Restaurant very good. Pricey but very nice. Will stay there again. Close to I-205 so on and off easy. Starbucks across the street as well as Shari's. Nice walking path through adjacent park.
This hotel is extremely well maintained by an excellent, well trained, friendly, professional staff. We've stayed here many times and will continue to stay in the future. We would reccomend this hotel to anyone. We can't imagine anyone not being satisfied with their stay.
For $135 per night in July, we received a two queen bed room with a balcony and river view, firm mattresses, lots of fluffy pillows, in room fridge, microwave, iron, full size ironing board, blow drier, organic soap and $7 breakfast voucher for the restaurant attached to the hotel. The sounds of neighbours opening and closing doors was fairly loud inside our room. Something interesting was that whenever we entered our room, it smelled of cologne. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
This hotel runs very full in the peak summer vacation time period. It is a Best Western plus so the rates are much higher than expected and offers very few discounts during the summer season. The hotel itself is a gem and I always enjoy my stays. The manager is not very friendly or customer related and seems to care less if you are a returning customer and seems not to represent the Best Western brand very well.
Really enjoy coming to this hotel. Love the location and all the activity on the river. It's close to everything and the local scene is alright. Rooms are really nice and always enjoy my stay here. I'll be back
Stayed here in early June. Rooms all have view of Willamette River. Close to the 215, so you will hear the traffic. Close to downtown Portland. Good value for the price, although the rooms are a bit small. Will stay there again.
Hi. Had a lovely stay in June. Ask for the River view. Room as nice and clean and I thought a decent value. Staff was cheerful and super helpful. Very easy to get to this hotel from the interstate - always a plus for me...Thanks!!!
My Mom and I stayed for a couple nights while we were on the Portland area leg of our roadtrip. The rooms were nice and clean and we had a nice view of the river. The restaurant was very good, we had breakfast and dinner there during out stay. I would stay here again on our next trip to the area.
Wonderful hotel with caring, attentive staff. Very clean rooms, with super comfortable beds. Restaurant and bar attached to the hotel also provide great food and drink in very comfortable setting. The restaurant patio overlooks the Willamette River! The hotel is a short walk from downtown Oregon City, where there are many wonderful restaurants and shops. I originally meant to stay in downtown Portland, but chose this hotel for its proximity to a wedding venue. I'm very glad that I made that choice. This was a very relaxing, clean, efficient hotel!
Everything at this location was as advertised--nice. The view of the river, the room and the helpful and friendly staff. Location is right across the street from the river walk and close to freeway access. Even parking was more than adequate.
When we made the reservation on-line I booked a river view room but did not get it. Got discount breakfast coupons instead. Not too happy. Rooms are ok but nothing spectacular. Have a decent restaurant for breakfast but ate elsewhere for dinners.
This was an above average BW hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It's right off I--205. The rooms are pleasant and have a balcony. You get a good view of the river. Restaurant on site and you get a $7 voucher for breakfast, which by the way is good. The hotel is close to local attractions and we would stay there again. On the minus side our room wasn't ready at check in time.
Very nice hotel located on the river with a very nice view. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Room well appointed and clean. Restaurant attached to hotel made eating easier. Easy access to highway. Nice walking path along the river right outside your door.
Nice views and walkways along river. Good location. Room pretty much the same as most hotel rooms. Plenty of parking. I liked being able to walk along the river, right across the street, walking trails.
I would recommend staying at this hotel. It is located on the river so you can walk around. It is easy to access from the highway. The room was clean and comfortable. Discount coupon for breakfast at the restaurant.
We stayed here three nights on a road trip to Oregon. Rooms are pretty standard, but showing their age. Check-in was a little confusing (new staff person). We ended up paying more than our original reservation, but we had a pet with us. We did not try the adjacent restaurant. Pros: Nice location. All rooms have river view. Pet friendly. Cons: No rollaways! Lock on sliding door to balcony was difficult to use. Rooms are somewhat dated. They do not have a free breakfast, unlike most similar hotels.
Definitely ask for a balcony, and try the food from the lounge. Everyone is friendly and will give great suggestions. There is a kayak rental just up the street, so if it's not super windy, you should definitely give it a shot!
i found the room to be a good value. it was a nice room with a pleasant area surrounding. I wish I would have invited clients to dinner there instead of driving 20 minutes to meet them. if I return I will be staying here.
We really enjoyed this hotel. Our room over looked the river and had a nice balcony. The food in the restuarnt was very good and the service was great. The hotel staff was very nice and very accommodating.
The rooms are reasonably priced, clean and comfortable. Love sitting on the balcony looking at the activity on the river. Walking in the park along the river is fun too. The restaurant next door is good.
The evening was warm and it was nice to open up the slider on the balcony to let the river smell come in. The front desk was very friendly and the room clean. The hotel could use a little updating, but the proximity of the river and large park make up for it. I ate at the restaurant which is leased by a private party and had a nice dinner. The restaurant had a great view and seemed to be frequented by locals. I was on a business trip and thought it was set up well for that and the location is convenient to the 205.
VERY nice staff, but that's about all I can say positively about the place. One of the noisiest hotels I have ever stayed in -- it was almost comical that in the bedside drawer, right next to the Gideon Bible, there were two sealed packages of ear plugs. No clue whether they were supplied by the hotel or left by a previous guest. The place is in need of a MAJOR overhaul. Everything seems dated and old. My room was on the second floor at the end of one of the halls where the "wings" of the hotel separate. The door leading to the next wing over was unbelievably loud every time it was opened and closed. The people one floor above me (for two of my three nights) sounded like they were stomping around in clogs, and at all hours - early morning and late night. I was one floor above street level facing the river, and felt like I had much more of a street view than a river view - very deceptive in terms of the pictures, which make it appear that the hotel sits directly on the river - probably not so bad on the higher floors, but traffic noise was definitely an issue as the road was maybe eight feet from my room. The TV was nice, but there seemed to be few (if any!) HD channels. If someone like Hilton or Marriott comes into Oregon City and builds a new hotel, this place will be in big trouble. Again, super nice staff - but beyond that, a huge disappointment.
Great hotel. staff, service, and location. We have stayed three times and call it our home in Portland, Oregon. The spa, fitness centre and pool are terrific. The restaurant and lounge are comfortable and well-priced.
The family and I stayed here for a few days at the end of our vacation. A few points: -The location is perfect. It is located on the Willamette River and every room has a balcony with a great view. -The rooms are very nice, clean and tidy. Housekeeping is very good at their jobs. For example, we have three kids and one slept on a cot. While we were out, the housekeeper would come in and clean as normal, but she would also make up the cot! I think that shows exceptional dedication and care. -The prices are very good. Use your AAA card though. -The only gripe I have is that I wish they had a continental breakfast. They give out coupons for the attached restaurant, but that's not the same. Travelers tend to rely on the coffee and waffles and muffins and such, and not so much on overpriced omelets. Overall, we love this hotel. We have stayed here in the past and will again in the future.
First, there simply are not good hotel options in this area. The BW is conveniently located and on the river with great views. Second, our room had a Queen-size bed which came as a big surprise to me. It did not specify on our reservation nor did I have any knowledge of booking a Queen room. I called the front desk after arriving in our room and was told they no longer had available King rooms. Wish I had the option when I booked. The mattress needs to be replaced -- it was lumpy and sunken in the middle. The entire room was worn. I wouldn't call this BEST. It is BASIC. And there's not much option.
My advice is, if you are going to book several rooms, not only assign the rooms to the parties you booked, if it makes any difference, but if you do, make sure that you also tell the hotel which rooms you have assigned people to... It will save a lot time and bother of having to shuffle people around. I also advise you to book your room on the top (4th) floor in order to not be kept awake with your overhead neighbors who tromp around until the wee hours of the morning. It is an older hotel, built out of wood. The doors to the room let in the hall light and sounds of people who feel that it is not necessary to their voices in the middle of the night... The elevator is quite small. You need to use your card key to summon it. The king bed was comfortable for me, a bit firm for my husband. The bed had four, standard size pillows, and were rather firm. There is a refrigerator box in the window. The room comes with an iron, a coffee maker, a small refrigerator and microwave and a large table which could easily sit six. Other furniture includes an office chair, a comfortable high backed chair, a small square coffee table, a large bureau on which the television sits, and has three large, deep drawers. There are two bedside tables with drawers. The lanai has a 2 chairs and small round table as well. The room was very clean. The bathroom is big, with a very large metal tub. There is a $10.00 cleaning charge if you bring your dog. The view is of the Willamette River. You are just downstream from the falls. It is a popular fishing spot for salmon, and the river was filled with anchored fishing boats. From our window, we saw crows, bald eagles, and geese. The hotel is sandwiched between McLaughlin Blvd. to the east, the river to the west, and the noisy 205 overpass to the south. The park to the south is expansive, with a paved path along the river and around the park. In the park, we found a swing set near the covered picnic area, a horseshoe pitch, and a skate board park. If you book though the hotel itself, you will get a $7.00 coupon toward breakfast every day of your stay. The free coffee offered in the lobby was delicious I am told. I didn't not use the restaurant, but the fare seemed to offer the usual greasy potato, bacon, egg fare. Like the hotel, the bar and restaurant are old and in need of renovation. Parking spots were at a minimum, especially Friday night because of Karaoke night. Across McLaughlin Blvd. is a Rite Aide and other convince stores. In conclusion, the hotel worked for us as our venue was just .7 of a mile away. The senior AA rate was $135.00 per night.
This hotel has a beautiful location and a very convenient one! The beds are comfortable. The front desk staff was very friendly. Those are the good things I can say. For the price we were paying, we expected a better accommodation; the hallways are ragged, tired, and unairconditioned, with a musty smell. ( The a/c is the room was fine!). The restaurant should offer better fare, especially since it overlooks a scenic river view. We ordered extra dry martini cocktails with a gin the server could not explain, just that it was local. It turned out to be flavored gin of some sort, which tasted terrible in a martini - - the bartender should have known not to make those ( since we did not know the gin was flavored!) . All around, it felt like a dated, ragged place which was trying to be a 3-star hotel and was not making it. But, as I said, the location and view are wonderful and convenient, and the beds were great.
We love this motel--location is perfect, restaurant is one of the best as is the bar atmosphere. Rooms are clean, bed is comfortable, Internet works fine, staff are accommodating. We enjoy watching boats on the Willamette--most fishing--some just recreating. There is much history surrounding Oregon City so if you are a tourist and enjoy learning about Oregon history, it is a good place to start as that is where many of the early pioneers visited first. It is our favorite Best Western thus far and we stay in Best Westerns frequently if they are available in our travels.
Wonderful place to dine and watch the activities on the Willamette River. Either inside, or on the outside patio, a lovely place to dine with friends. Great wine and cocktail selection, a large selection of seafood, steaks, and other from their good size menu, and the food is prepared by a local chief. Wonderful time was had by all!! Try it, you'll enjoy!!
Came down for a single night with my dogs to this BW. Rate was very reasonable for location (easy to get to) and I think each room offers a view and balcony. Came in late Saturday night and left Sunday, but they let us have an extra hour to enjoy the spa. Wife liked the spa and pool area. Room was of good size, bathroom as well. Note: Some of the best water pressure in a shower I've ever come across in a hotel. Bed was comfortable and my dogs enjoyed watching the world from the second floor balcony. If I come back to the area, I would definitely stay again. Service was good. They provide a breakfast voucher for the restaurant attached to the hotel. Nice breakfast. Cost a couple dollars more than the voucher, but worth it.
Friendly staff and clean room. A wonderful balconied room with view of the river below. Great restaurant discount for guests and the food was surprisingly wonderful. Would definitely recommend this moderately priced hotel for what it delivers.
We came back to the Portland area to visit friends. This hotel is across from the river, beautiful view. Watching the fishermen catch salmon. They gave us a $7 voucher for breakfast every morning. Food was great. Dinners were tasty. Bar was fun. Rooms very comfortable. There is no doubt that we would stay there again. If you're headed that way, I suggest this warm friendly hotel.
Our stay at this hotel was very good. Clean room with a small balcony overlooking the Willamette River. Very peaceful. The only downside of this hotel was that the restaurant in the hotel was independently operated. We were given $7 breakfast vouchers. The hotel policy was that each room was given a max of 2 vouchers/room no matter how many people were in the room. I think they should have a voucher for each guest.
Room is never a disappointment. Great river view from the terrace. Great comfy bed. Room is always clean and tidy. The breakfast coupon is a nice incentive for the morning. Check in and check out is always courteous and quick. Some of the employees really go out of their way to ensure a great stay. Highly recommend this hotel.
Stayed for 4 nights - perfect location, easy to get into city and outer tourist areas. Plenty of food choices and beautiful views of river. Great to come back after a full day and relax on balcony watching the fishermen or taking a walk on the trails. Great staff, from housekeeping to office. Close to shopping for any forgotten items. We were going to stay in Portland to be close to everything - my son told us about this hotel and we are very happy he did. When back in Portland we will most definitely stay here again.
After flying all day, we were very happy we had made a reservation for the night. Easy access off of I-205(exit 9) & views of the river. At first was worried when we pulled up, outside of motel could use a brighter color but front desk was very friendly & we were checked in quickly. It has the smallest elevator I have ever seen but got the cart in it with all our luggage. We had a king room with a view & it was very nicely decorated & clean. The bed & linens were very comfortable-we had a great night sleep. Since we arrived late, the restaurant was closed but we ate at the lounge & was very pleased with the bar food(halibut fish & chips) & the bartender was very nice esp when I was asking lots of questions about the area & Oregon. No breakfast buffet but they give you a coupon for $7.00 off(each) at the restaurant which we did not use because we wanted to get on the road. There is a McDonald's across the street if you do not want a sit down meal. I had checked out a lot of exits & motels coming from the airport & I'm glad I chose this one.
I stay here quite a lot. I enjoy the river view and room comfort. There is a good degree of covered parking. The staff is well trained and most recognize me soon after working there. It's convenient to have the restaurant/lounge connected
I stay at this Best Western on a regular basis for business purposes. I have an issue every time I stay here. No maid service, no wake up call, trying to move me to another room 30 minutes after I arrive, no fresh towels. I have contacted the front office after every issue. They are friendly and apologetic but the problems happen again on my next stay.
I have stayed at many hotels in my lifetime. This is my first hotel stay that I have no complaints. Staff was pleasant and friendly. Hotel and room was clean and tidy. Security was nice (you need your room key to enter the hotel, pool/hot tub, etc. Restaurant food appeared sub par to my family and I but we are not from Oregon so maybe its a cultural thing. This will be the only hotel I stay at in this area from now on.
Our room was on the 3rd floor looking over the river. We had a sliding glass door we could open to air the room out as it was stale. People were slamming doors as they were in and out to smoke I guess. The bed was a little softer than we like. The location was not to far from a large mall and was walking distance to drug store and fast food places
We reserved a river view room online. Upon checking in the clerk did not give us a river view. After informing them of ur reservation they then "upgraded" us to a river view. The heater and fridge were extremely noisy in the room.
Highly recommend - great relaxing view from the balcony and attached resaurant not only convenient but very good food. We would recommend staying an additional night if your schedule allows the time..
Clean rooms, grounds are well kept, great view of the river, friendly staff and the Rivershore restaurant serves fresh, homemade food with very reasonable prices! I highly recommend the humus plate and the crab cakes from the appetizer menu! With the breakfast coupons from the hotel, breakfast was only $3.50!! Can't beat that!!
Excellent hotel with very good restaurant on the river in Oregon City. Every aspect of customer service from front desk to housekeeping exceeded our expectations. Restaurant takes pride in their menu. our dinner and breakfast were both very good.
A very nice Motel as usual, sitting beside the Willamette River. All rooms face the river. An excellent restaurant is attached to the motel. There is an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness center within the motel. A very friendly and helpful staff. This motel is away from the rush of business and traffic and it is nice to be able to peacefully walk along a part of the river.
Nice river view, good restaurant and comfortable rooms with a deck the location is convenient and the area has plenty of food and shopping as well as scenery. The staff went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied.
A very comfortable and attractive hotel. I enjoyed the river view and the peace and quiet., even including the barking of the sea lions, who are very unpopular with local fishermen. Also the convenient location for freeway access. Restaurant on site although my schedule did not coincide with mealtimes. Convenient parking
From the moment I stepped into the Best Western Plus Rivershore Hotel Lobby until my departure, I was made to feel welcome and valued as a guest. Guest associates were accommodating and helpful. All hotel staff greeted me and seemed genuinely interested in my comfort.
I stay here alot. The main reason I stay here is the staff. They treat all of the guests like family. They will do anything they can to make your stay enjoyable, all you gotta do is ask. I recommend this hotel to my co-workers when they are in this area too.
we gather to celebrate the life of a family member. the hotel was central to a our location.The location on the river brought back fond memories for my husband of fish trips with his father. His parents did not live to far away from this hotel, so this was a trip down memory lane.
We used this hotel for out-of-town guests for our daughter's wedding. We received a group rate which made it very affordable for all of the guests. Our rooms were quiet and we all enjoyed a view, from our balconies, of the Willamette river . I did all of the pre-planning for our stay and found the hotel staff (especially Holly) extremely helpful and very accommodating. The hotel is conveniently located near the wedding venue, Clackamas Town Mall, grocery shopping and only about 25 minutes from the airport. The hotel offers a $7 breakfast voucher for the on-site restaurant where we enjoyed delicious meals each morning for a couple dollars after the voucher. The hotel offers free WiFi, a hot tub which was very clean, a pool and workout facility. I would highly recommend this hotel to Portland travelers.
Have requested handicap room and they never have one available. Also, sometimes you get a code for wifi and other times none. The checkin staff are like robots. Smile and make appropriate comment and say "Have a good stay!" After 3 years no more at this hotel,
The Best Western Oregon City is in a great location right on the Willamette River. All of the rooms have balconies with stunning views of the the beautiful river and surrounding forests. The hotel well maintained, with a very friendly staff. This Best Western features a decent restaurant and nice bar for some great after dinner fun. If you are headed to Oregon City for a fishing trip on the Willamette River, you can;t ask for a better location. The boat dock is right across the street.
This is the best place to stay in Portland. For us we need room service occasionally, a view, comfortable seating, good parking, helpful staff, and on-site restaurant. This even has a pool. With excellent prices.
Don't let the exterior appearance worry you. Although this is obviously an old style hotel, the decor, maintenance, and service were up to Best Western standards. The hotel is just off a major highway but we never heard the road noise. Most , if not all, of the rooms faced the river and provided a lovely view. Security is a high priority, your room key is required for access to all non-public parts of the hotel. We would stay there again.
I enjoyed my time staying at this beautiful location right on the river. The restaurant and lounge was also nice. Noemi went out of her way to make sure that I had a comfortable experience. I wish more hotels around the country took care of their clients like this, having a sincere interest in the clients needs.
Perfect for our fishing/business trip to Portland. View of the Willamette River and it's eagles, otters and boats is great. Restaurant is first rate, as is the bar. Comfortable, reasonably priced and no need to drive.
All the rooms face the river. Its's right off the freeway but not noisy. I've stayed there several times. If you want to do a little shopping there's a shopping center across the street. The staff is always nice. There is a park to walk in also. I 'm just not thrilled with their breakfast.
My second time to stay at the BW Rivershore in Oregon City. The first trip was 7 years ago and I enjoyed it then and I enjoyed it this trip. That says something for hotel when 7 years separated you see the facility kept in such Top Notch Condition that you can't tell the difference. Till the next trip to Portland area. Thanks Gary
We love staying at the Rivershore Hotel. It is relaxing as it is on the Willamette River where you can watch the river and the activities the river provides: birds, boating & fishing. There are verandas to enhance this experience. The restaurant is excellent. As we normally visit family in the area, we didn't take time to check out pool or fitness. The beds are very comfortable and it is a quiet location. Probably the only complaint would be that when the motel is full, the elevator seems very slow.
The office staff sent me a Christmas card and said they hoped I came back so I did, and they were very nice to me. I got my old room for close to my old price, and noticed they had made some good changes in the property, finally finishing the eternal lobby remodel being the most notable. The room was very clean, the bed was great, and the view of the river was as great as always. I did miss the complementary ear plugs that used to always be by the bedside, because it still is a bit loud from the freeway bridge nearby, as well as the heater/air conditioner, but I still slept well enough. The "free" breakfast doesn't include coffee and is pretty minimal as well as hit or miss on quality, but they can't help that because I think it's a separately owned concession. I will go back again.
Excellent when traveling for business. With a restaurant and lounge you don't have to go out after a long day. Conveniently located by the freeway makes it easy to get where you are going in either direction. The staff at both the hotel and the restaurant are fantastic and make you feel right at home. they always go out of their way to accommodate and requests and needs you may have.
For folks traveling on business to the greater Portland area this hotel offers reasonably priced rooms w/ good accommodations in close proximity to PDX and the city of Portland, OR. Rooms are standard hotel faire, and hotel has an attached restaurant for quality meal options. Internet comes standard w/ room, no additional charges.
Nice hotel, on the river, typical Best Western quality. Good restaurant, friendly staff, helpful and considerate. Visiting family in Oregon City. Right next to downtown with a nice park on the river. Next time we'll bring our pooch.
Used Expedia to reserve our $100 room and were advised on arrival (we were Platinum members of the Best Western Reward Program), ONLY guests who reserve through the BW online website receive BW Rewards credit for the stay and reserve a room greater than $80 receive breakfast privileges, which violates our sense of fair marketing. My later complaints to Franchise HQ confirmed this INTERNAL policy, so ANY online marketing firm you use may result in your being denied common privileges found within the majority of America's modern motel/hotels. In the future MANY Best Western competitors will welcome us and appreciate our business. We thought other travelers should be made aware of this internal policy and not go away the next morning (after discussing the situation with the onsite manager), as mad and hungry as we were. .
This hotel has a great location overlooking the river with nice views and decks off the rooms and restaurants. The rooms are just average however, and very much in need of a makeover. The bath fan was extremely noisy but necessary. The food was fine in the restaurant, but again in need of remodeling. It's very close to the Abernathy Center (walking distance) where we were attending a wedding.
Downstairs restaurant has great food... felt back at home. Staff was very helpful ,polite and actually had some humor..!!! Clean and updated rooms. View of Willamette River off private balcony including nice wicker chairs !
Enjoyed our stay. The only problem is when I was settled in I went to the vending machine for a diet soda and none were offered. Not that they were out..they were not offered in none of the vending machines. Staff seemed not to care.
Rooms were clean and comfortable, view of river was really nice. Definitely an older hotel with one elevator that rattles all the way up and front desk staff was not the friendliest ever. Good place to stay if in the area, nothing to go out of your way for though.
Clean, nice and updated rooms. Priced well and a decent amount of parking. Good bar for a hotel and restaurant is better than average. Right on the river and close to shopping and other restaurants.Have had family stay there as well.
We've stayed here a number of times and have always been pleased with the accommodations and courteous staff. While not particularly fancy, it's clean, dog-friendly, and every room has a balcony with chairs and a view of the Willamette. Love watching the boats, and the waterfront park is terrific for walking with the pooch. The restaurant has typical American fare, friendly staff, a decent bar and a great patio. Minutes from shopping and fun things to do, Lake Oswego, Clackamas Towne Center, Bob's Red Mill and Dave's Killer Bread. Low key, affordable place to get away for a couple of days.
I have stayed here multiple times and have always had a personal professional friendly welcome! The staff has gone out of their way to make my stay always worth coming back for! If available they have upgraded my room and provided info on local activities that may have been of interest to me.
Close enough to Portland to be convenient, far enough to miss most of the traffic and to cost less than downtown. Room seemed recently remodeled, everything was clean and nice. Very convenient to Lewis and Clark College. Breakfast restaurant was good.
Just an overnight stay coming back to L.A. from a lengthy driving vacation, we wanted an easy on/off from the Portland outerbelt (that took pets) and found this hotel. The entrance was under construction which made it a little difficult to check in but we managed. The hotel is divided into two buildings, and raised off the ground, with rooms starting on the second floor with parking underneath. A major drawback is the only way to access the rooms (three floors worth) is by one small elevator that barely holds a tiny luggage cart and required your room key to access. LONG waits for the elevator to show up and it was always full. The best part was the location, right by a beautiful river with parks and walking paths for at least a mile, which made it great for anyone traveling with a pet. Our room overlooked the river, had a nice view and a small balcony with chairs to enjoy the sunset. A coupon for the attached restaurant was included with enough value for a standard breakfast, but if you wanted to go for the eggs benedict you could for a little extra. The difficult and slow access to the room is why I downgraded to a 3. Otherwise, the room was large and clean.
Even with the lack of premium channels the stay was great! Bar and restaurant staff went out of their way to be pleasant and friendly. The view from the restaurant and my room was of the river facing west for the sunset and was very relaxing. The location was great for access to down town Oregon City and I-205. There were other amenities close by.
Nice hotel in a great location. Reasonably close to restaurants, city centre and attractions. The staff are professional and helpful and, although the decor is a bit dated, the rooms are comfortable and adequate for most travellers needs. The onsite restaurant is an added bonus and the hotel offers a $ 7.00 voucher per person toward breakfast. Overall, good value for your travelling dollar.
We visited family..familiar with the area, chose this hotel over the box brands because of the attached restaurant and bar (NFL Sunday..Go Hawks). Hotel is old school, but has been remodeled. We really could find nothing wrong with the rooms except a small regular sized bowl toilet.....Tile and granite in shower room, California vanity, easy chair, desk, nice bed. Riverside rooms are nice, small balcony with chairs. At check in was quoted a price, showed the front desk staff an online rate $40 less on my phone, they honored the rate. Got the room for a great price, but got home and had been charged for 3 nights instead of two. After a series of phone calls, we were refunded one night plus tax. We recommended this to family for their out of town business clients, they live in Oregon City.
Overall it was a nice stay, great view of the river, but not worth the hefty price in my opinion. No binder left in my room which apparently had the restaurant menu which would have come in handy! Also the place has all these hallways that meet with these heavy doors that slam pretty loudly and pretty constantly. Could hear the upstairs people walk around too. Noisy place...
took 40 minutes check in, while the clerk was on the phone with another person who was "shopping" for rooms, for future dates. The person before me also had problems getting checked in and took about 15 minutes. Also the walls are paper thin.
Would stay here again that says it all. Staff was awesome. The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Dinning room and lounge had very friendly service and were well priced. Thanks for the great service.
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bedding was soft and the pillows were fluffy. The closet had extra bedding which was nice. The parking was limited and tight for our truck. But for thanksgivings night we found a convenient spot. The restaurant breakfast was very good. The wait staff was nice and friendly. The only thing that was inconvenient was the elevator was not working from the ground floor. So for three flights, we had to drag our bags up and down the stairs. This hotel was very easy to get to. It's right off the freeway. And they have a drive thru Starbucks across the street.
Originally planned on staying at a Hampton Inn, but it was booked. No issues getting a room at the Best Western, and amenities were comparable. Was only there for a short stay, but friendly staff and clean room awaited me. I would definitely stay there again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. The room was very clean and nicely appointed. The staff were outstanding. We particularly appreciated the "pet friendly" environment. We would definitely stay again.
Not a bad hotel,, but the room was very small for two people. Barely had room for bags. Price vs value is poor. Location was nice with beautiful view. Upon arrival I was made aware that my points would not apply for room... very disappointed. Nice restaurant with good food.
View is magnificent in any season. Service is cordial. Near some shopping and other restaurants including fast food. Close entrance to the expressway as well. You can choose to walk along the Williamette or take a tour/walk of historic Oregon City to learn about the Oregon Trail.
Just a short stop over in Oregon city before we hooked up with family in Portland. Room is clean and acceptable. The river was flowing beautifully; so nice to see. Heads up, if you want the breakfast coupon book through the hotel directly. We went to trip in visor and they were totally inflexible. Supposedly the restaurant servers good breakfast and good dining. We did not check it out. Probably would stay here again.
This is my families 5th stay at the Best Western Rivershore Hotel in Oregon City in the last 3 years and is definitely my favorite and preferred hotel when staying in Oregon City, Or. when visiting my son and wife who live in the area. The hotel is located along the river and the view from the room is great. The beds are very comfortable Sealy Posturepedics. The area has lots of hiking/running trails along the rivers.. The hotel staff is always friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. Room internet access is great and for boarding passes the lobby has 3 desk top computers with a printer that works. Coffee and tea are served in the lobby 24/7. The hotel has an indoor spa, outdoor swimming pool, and exercise room equipped with water and TV. The Rivershore Bar and Grill restaurant has great food and drinks. When staying at the hotel you are provided discount tickets which really help with the family food bill. 205 Freeway access is a block away if sight seeing. All-in-all, a great place to stay and highly recommended.
Room was sparsely furnished. Be looked suspiciously slept in. Comfortable bed though. Restaurant has a very good breakfast. floors seem a little thin. Either that or a Sumo wrestler was staying in the room upstairs.
Very nice hotel/motel. Overlooking Willamette River. Bike/walking path near. Pet friendly. If needed in area, we will be back. Nice restaurant on site. Shopping center across the street. They should charge for children and not for pets, as my pet does less damage/wear than children!
Very nice hotel with a terrific view - and a balcony on which to watch it! Convenient to highways. This hotel was recommended by my son, who travels extensively for his work. Other family members have stayed there on their visits and were equally pleased. I would be pleased to recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Room was clean, carpet had odor (believe it was because I have a dog and was in a designated pet room). Staff is courteous. Breakfast at the restaurant was ok (not part of the hotel) and it was different to have breakfast there instead of the hotel lobby (nice to sit down and be served).
The room was clean and looked very inviting and cozy when we first arrived. The shower was amazing! But it was so powerful that the shower curtain would blow open and water would get on the floor no matter how often we tried to close it. Had a terrible time with the thermostat. It was either too cold or too hot all night. They don't have a breakfast buffet, but give a $7 coupon per person for the onsite restaurant. I wouldn't go out of my way to stay there again, but if I need a place to stay with my dog in that location, I would go back. They say they offer "River View" rooms. Our room was on the river side of the hotel, but it was not impressive. We just left the curtains closed.
Great service and a great location with a river view. great service and food at the restaurant. We were in the area looking for a place to live and this hotel fit the bill perfect. The staff was so very helpful and friendly. I would stay here again and recommend to my family and friends as well. Joe
This is a beautiful Best Western hotel. Every room has a view of the river, the rooms have a better than usual decor, the staff was very nice and friendly. The pool is outside and was closed for the winter, but the hot tub is indoors and open year round, the fitness center was average. The river has a nice walking/jogging trail. This is also a pet-friendly hotel and lots of people were walking their dogs along the river. The big difference with other Best Westerns is this one has a restaurant attached so instead of the usual breakfast buffet they give you a $7 voucher to use at the restaurant for breakfast. We found this a very enjoyable change of pace from the regular Best Western breakfasts. We also ate dinner at the restaurant and the food was great and every seat also has a view of the river. The hotel is right off the freeway, I highly recommend it any time you are driving by Portland.
You cant beat this hotel for the price. Friendly staff, good beds and clean rooms. Great Bar/lounge area. Had a great view of the river. Had a noisy toilet but that's all I can say was bad. I will be returning for business and will stay again.
It's a sprawling property but parking was easy. I prefer climbing stairs but the elevators are far more convenient at this property. The sound insulation could have been better. The location has no outside noise problems but I could hear my neighbors more than I liked. They have a very good restaurant next door. There is no onsite free breakfast but they gve you a $7 coupon for the restaurant. I ended up paying a few extra bucks for breakfast but I liked this arrangement much better than the typical free onsite breakfast.
I use to stay here quite often. NO MORE! Billed for a week stay when we only stayed one night. On the third day right now trying to get charges reversed. Everyone seems to pass the buck and I am coming up on bank fees. Customer service is a zero. Food is a zero compared to all the other best westerns we stay at. Beds hard as rocks and squeak, doors squeak, elevator is small,parking is hit or miss. Most BW'S have great breakfast and evening treats Not this one. Be prepared for poor service as they smile at you.
Not sure why this is a BW Plus. It was just okay. Pricey for what you get. Yes, there is a river view, but it's not exactly a beautiful view. No extras like cookies or popcorn. Breakfast was the shocker. We got a coupon for a choice of a few breakfast items or $4 off the breakfast menu. For $4 your couldn't even get coffee and toast. The coupon did not include a beverage and the eggs did not include toast. Our bill was $8 for 2 coffees and toast. They did take the toast off when we complained. BW should just forget the breakfast and not offer anything.
Not certain how Best Western get to charge so much for this hotel. The labyrinthine design does not lend itself to being customer friendly. The rooms are OK ... the staff are OK ... but having stayed in 10 hotels in the 10 previous nights - this was just OK BUT only just!! OK it's by the river but the view is nothing special. The hotel is connected to a restaurant. I believe that it is a separate enterprise but nontheless it is where customers will go. Our evening meal was just about passable - we returned in the morning with breakfast vouchers we had been issued with. Big mistake! The breakfast was without doubt one of the worst meals I have eaten in the 15 years I have visited the US. It was inedible! would I stay again? No way!!
OK, I will start with a quick check in/check out which friendly enough staff and was happy to get a room on the 4th floor with a great view, but the good stops there. When I arrived in my room no crib was there, which was requested. Crib was then sent up but not put up. We struggled with it, but it looks in bad shape. Two people came and we were told we got the "broken" crib. Great! Maybe throw it away. A newer crib was delivered and set up with a sheet and a somewhat stained blanket we chose not to use. Then my husband pulled out the chair near the desk and sat down. When he got up his pants were wet. The chair had a big wet spot on it. Then when I got down on the floor to play with my daughter my pants got wet. We asked and were told that the housekeeping staff probably sprayed "something" on some stains. Great, my kid had been crawling around on who knows what chemicals without me knowing. When we got up the next morning the floor was still wet in places. The towels in the bathroom were pretty warn out. Probably need to be replaced. The bathroom just didn't appear completely clean. The door to the bathroom needed W-D 40 because it squeaked every time you touched the door, which was annoying. The shower was difficult to adjust. The hot water knob seemed like it was barely hanging on and it took awhile for me to get the temperature warm enough. The beds were also quite noisy. Every time you moved, the bed squeaked which was awful when you have a baby you are trying to get to sleep or stay asleep. They also were uncomfortable. My husband and I both had sore backs in the morning. When we were finally ready to go to bed our neighbors arrived home and turned on their TV which was loud in our room. The elevators are slow and tiny. Basically 1 family at a time with their luggage, but then housekeeping needs the same elevators and they fill it up with their carts. We arrived early enough to get parking but every time we went out to our car to get something someone was waiting for parking spot but we weren't leaving. It seemed like there weren't enough spots. As wonderful as our view was, I probably wouldn't stay here again even though it was pretty affordable.
Hotel was right on the river and close to shopping and freeways. Hotel is being upgraded and construction noise was a little loud but not a lot they could do about it. Has nice bar and restaurant on site. Beds were very comfortable.

Three men were injured Thursday night when they were struck by a vehicle while walking in the 800 block of Henderson Avenue in Canton Township, state police said.
The men were walking on the side of the road about 10:50 p.m. when they were sideswiped by a van driven by Allen K. Garbart, 55, of Washington. Daniel Phillips, 19, was flown by medical helicopter to a Pittsburgh hospital, police said, while Matthew R. Phillips, 21, and William C. Rush, 22, were taken to Washington Hospital. No addresses were given for the three.
State police did not indicate if Garbart would face charges, but said the investigation is continuing.

by LOLtron » Fri Apr 26, 2013 4:42 pm The Outhouse brings you LIMITED ACCESS to DC's ALL ACCESS panel. Find out what to expect from DC this year! The Panelists include: Bob Wayne (moderator), Bob Harras, Brian Azzerello, Kyle Higgins, Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, Art Baltazar, Len Wein, Charles Soule, Franco Aureliani, Freddie Williams III. - Trinity War talk with three ties-ins. Info we already know. No new info. - Superman: Unchained. Info we already know. No new info. - Batman: Zero Year. No new info. Sensing a trend here... - Nightwing #22 cover is shown with Kyle Higgens talking about Dick Grayson moving to Chicago. Tony Zucco is still alive and living under an alias in Chicago. There will be mythology building on previous heroes from the city along with a Prankster reinvention - Batwing #22, All Star Western #22, Swamp Thing #22 covers shown. Charles Soule talks about the latter book, a little bit terrified with co-creator Lein Wein right beside him. He then talks about a Constantine guest-appearance arc in #21-22. The Whiskey Tree Arc is good for the kids, Soule jokes. - Green Team cover is shown while Art and Franco talk about it. Art talks of the characters on the cover for #2. Slade aka Deathstroke appears in the book, with #3 having an appearance of the Bat-Mobile. Bob Wayne will appear in #5 and Franco will appear somewhere down the line. - Talk flips to the Movement by Gail Simone. Big pop for Gail, who is not there. She was uninvited via email. Freddie Williams III, the artist for the book, says it is both fun and dark. These will all be brand new characters who will be fully fleshed out and feel like they've had a long history. Freddie says he just finished #3 and he hopes you all enjoy it. - Len Wein talks about the Before Watchmen projects. His face becomes more grotesque as it is corrupted by the dark side of the force with every word. - Batman '66 cover shown. Jim Chad talks about how fun the comic will be. The first arc will involve the Riddler and Catwoman. This is the first comic DC has done based on the classic 60s TV series. Future stories will have King Tut and Killer Croc. Expect Killer Croc to look like a dude with a really cheesy mask. - Art says he wants to pitch a new story: Batman Beyonce. Bob Wayne stresses how this will be the first and last time you'll hear about this pitch. Baltazar is hauled off for a flogging. - Brian Azzerello talks about the 100 Bullets sequel, "Brother Lono". He talks about how the sequel was created in a casual chat between him and the artist. It is not what you expect. - American Vampire will be returning with "The Long Road to Hell" and "The Wake". - Injustice: Gods Amongst Us comic will be pretty much a bunch of characters beating the tar out of each another, similar to a DC editorial summit. - DC Essential Graphic Novels will release a reading order book for characters so fans can argue with creators about what history was kept and what was not. Oh and they are FREE. This will replace the usual method of figuring this out, which is to start a thread on a comic book message board that quickly devolves into violent bickering. - DC Collectibles exclusives are shown that will only be sold at C2E2. Question/Answer First person(both to ask a question and to admit this) admits how much he loves the New 52. With the New 52, there was an effort to bring the Wildstorm characters into the DCU proper. Will we see the Milestone characters in the DCU? Icon? Hardware? Rocket? - Bob asks how many would love to see those characters come back. Fans applaud so Bob Wayne says they'll look into it. His fingers are crossed behind his back. Question for Azzerello on Wonder Woman and whether he'll do more with Greek mythology. - He can't comment since that wouldn't be fair. Brain will spoil this, though: in two issues, Wonder Woman will BE IN NEW GENESIS. Why is there no DC Booth? Are you bringing Damian Wayne back via the Talon serum? - Brian says to expect that in Wonder Woman #25 jokingly. Bob Wayne says he won't spoil anything. This isn't the Rose Bud panel, so, um, no, no, and no. Question for Kyle Higgins: what's up with Northwestern blue line nod recently? - Kyle says it was a great vantage point for Sears Tower for the double page spread. Question on the timeline issues involving Damian's conception given he was over six years old and Batman only operated in Gotham for five years? - Brian says it'll be addressed in Wonder Woman #25, again, jokingly. Fan talks about some of the subpar books DC has put out. - Bob Wayne has him taken outside and shot. Art and Franco Green Team question: will Most Excellent Superbat be in the book? - Art is writing that now unless Brian beats them in Wonder Woman #25. Another Brian Azzerello question. Did he think he get a lot of hatred for giving Wonder Woman a father? - Will we get some blowback? Yeah. Would we get blowback with War teaching her? Yeah. He mentions they worked close to the deadline so no editors could say no to what they did. Audience laughs at that. Wayne has Azzarello taken outside and shot. Green Arrow question: why wasn't there a Black Canary teaser for a next issue blurb? - Yeah there was a story shift. They say MAYBE after Brian again says Wonder Woman #25. Any more promotion via DC Nation? - There will be more new promotion via DC Nation. A fan of Young Justice asks if the show can be renewed? Or any news to give some hope. - No news, but they'll pass the info of how much a pop the show got when mentioned at the panel, which will bring great joy to Warner cartoon executives, who feed on the totured souls of DC cartoon fans to sustain their evil alien life forces. Will we see Osris or Iris? - They cannot say, but there will be some stuff coming up. Will we see more Swamp Thing outside of comics? - Charles says if the Whiskey Tree story works out, we'll see. Are there any plans to expand the DCU in TV ala the Flash TV Series and currently Arrow? - YES. Will the Green Team and Movement be related or will there be events from the book relate to the other? - Art says if Gail wants to throw down, YES, they're ready.

by IvCNuB4 » Fri Apr 26, 2013 6:02 pm In the DC Comics 101 panel a fan asked if we would see the Crime Syndicate of America. Brian Cunningham replied "You asked that question about a month or two before you should have."Speculation abounds as to the possibility that this September may be DC's "Villains Month" since the Sept solicits should be released in a month or so. Also consider that previously it was leaked that the villains would be taking over all New52 titles in September. DC has not officially verified this yet, though. |

I don't like the facial design as he should have the metallic skull look to make him look sinister. |
by Grayson » Fri Apr 26, 2013 6:19 pm It might just be me but this panel seems more uninformative than usual... |
by Zechs » Fri Apr 26, 2013 11:16 pm
There was no real new information at the panel other than Art talking about Green Team and Charles talking about Swamp Thing. I mean Brain Azzerello was the highlight. The man is truly amazing and DC's true secret weapon. |

I'm surprised there was no Cyborg Superman talk or any talk for that matter of the "new" character sketches revealed this past week. |

Sheesh! I thought this was already explained by the fact Damian was born outside Talia's womb and artificially aged. If not, there you do. Problem solved. |

Very good point. I would hate to see how they fuck up the Eradicator if they ever bring him back in the New 52. I mean look at the hatchet job they did on Steel and Superboy already. |

Imprisoned U.S. Drug Offenders Skyrockets from 41,000 to 507,000 in 30 Years
According to statistics compiled by The Sentencing Project, a nonprofit dedicated to prison reform, the total number of people in jails and prisons for violating drug laws soared from 41,000 in 1980 to 507,000 by 2010.
During this same 30-year period, the overall prison and jail population more than quadrupled, from 502,886 to 2,266,832 inmates. The United States leads the world in per capita incarceration at 743 per 100,000, ahead of Rwanda (c595) and Russia (568).
By 2010, just over half (51%) of all inmates in federal prisons were convicted of drug-related crimes. For state prisons the percentage is much smaller, 17.8% (violent offenders make up the largest share in these prisons, 53.2%).

Some data you can't even migrate. Backupify's new Migrator tool changes that by automating the entire process. With Migrator, you just sign into multiple Google Apps accounts and specify which one's the source and which one's the destination. If you have multiple migrations, you can run them all at once. Migrator works on a credit system, with one migration costing you one credit. By signing up, you get a single credit for free. Additional credits cost quite a bit—costing $149 for 10—but that's pretty much irrelevant if you only have a single migration in order. (You can also get migration for free with a yearly Backupify subscription, which is only $36 per user.) The other downside is that you can't migrate a standard Google accounts. Currently, only Google Apps accounts are supported. Migrator is a very new tool, however, so if people are interested in adding standard Google account support it's likely that Backupify's team will add it in.

I've really liked the concept of From Dust, but everything from the insufferable camera to the sometimes-nonexistent AI is just making this game a chore for me. It seems relatively easy to get locked into situations you can't undo, and just about every time the game attempts to give you any directions, they're so poorly communicated that it's almost worth ignoring altogether.
What's everyone else's take on the game? Any folks really enjoying it? Have any tips to overcome some of this game's shortcomings?
EDIT: Probably worthwhile to disclaim that I'm running the Xbox version of the game.

Washington, DC (April 30, 2008) — NCB, a leading provider of financial services nationwide, originated over $30 million in financing during the first quarter of 2008 for 11 commercial real estate properties across the country. Casey Fannon, Senior Vice President of NCB's CMBS/Capital Markets, made the announcement. "Even in light of the current credit market, NCB continues to arrange financing for commercial real estate properties across the country," said Mr. Fannon. "Fortunately for these property owners, there are banks like NCB with a portfolio lending program, offering readily available funds to assist in the acquisition of properties, refinancing existing debt and covering the cost of building upgrades." In the first quarter, NCB closed the following loans:
The success of NCB's commercial real estate lending efforts is partly due to its increasingly popular portfolio lending product, a great option for many commercial borrowers in today's tougher financial marketplace. In the second half of 2007, NCB shifted its focus from loans destined for the CMBS market to an "on-book" portfolio lending program. This flexibility has allowed the Bank to stay highly-competitive in the commercial real estate market. NCB offers fixed-rate and variable loans from three, five- and seven-year terms with amortization periods up to 30 years, for all commercial property types.
Portfolio lending at NCB has great latitude in many respects including loan documentation, servicing, insurance requirements, and loan terms. There are no rigid requirements that are securitization driven, and one of the most attractive features is the flexible prepayment options and partial recourse. In addition, NCB is rated primary, master and special servicer, and service all of its loans, providing a stable relationship over time.
NCB Financial Group (NCB) consists of National Consumer Cooperative Bank, a wholesale funding company; NCB, FSB, a federally-charted savings bank; and, NCB Capital Impact, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Loans and other financial services are provided by NCB, FSB and NCB Capital Impact. Deposit products and services are provided by NCB, FSB, which is a member FDIC. Each is a separate corporation within the NCB Financial Group.
NCB is dedicated to strengthening communities nationwide through the delivery of banking and financial services, complemented by a special focus on cooperative expansion and economic development. Headquartered in Washington, DC, NCB also has offices in Alaska, California, New York and Virginia. In addition, NCB has a growing community banking network in southwestern Ohio.

The Sussex Mummers' Christmas Carol is one such arrangement, originally made for violin or cello and piano but personally sanctioned in this version by Grainger. And how well it sits in the violist's hands! Grainger's extraordinary ear for perfect sonorities, his seemingly unerring sense of the rightness of the placing of notes in a chord, serves him particularly well in this carol. Two of his great musical heros were Frederick Delius and Edvard Grieg. On this occasion it is Grieg who receives the posthumous dedication: 'Lovingly and reverently dedicated to the memory of Edvard Grieg'. Grainger was meticulous in recording on his scores all the details of composition, so we learn that this setting was begun in 1905 and completed ten years later. The tune was taken down by Miss Lucy Broadwood at Lyne, near Horsham, Sussex, in 1880 and '81 from the singing of Christmas mummers called 'tipteers' or 'tipteerers' during their play of 'St George, the Turk, and the Seven Champions of Christendom'. The first verse goes as follows:
O mortal man, remember well
When Christ our Lord was born;
He was crucified betwixt two thieves
And crowned with the thorn.
Other verses are on the 'God bless the master of this house' theme. Grainger's dark, Bourneville-chocolate harmonies are perfectly matched with the colour of the viola in this lovely setting.

Transaction tax, imminent domain and water rights were just a few of the topics touched on by state senators and members of Independent Cattlemen of Nebraska Saturday at the ICON convention in Broken Bow.
Transaction (sales) tax
More and more senators are seeing the need to reconsider the revenue stream, Dubas said. A transaction tax seems the best route but we have to consider how counties will generate revenue if the state makes the change to that type of system.
Dubas said the governor has put ideas forth and now its time for the Unicameral to get serious; put everything on the table. A study of all tax laws is the next step in considering all the pros and cons.
Maybe at the end of the day, we might be happy; maybe not, said Dubas. But the door needs to be opened for change. Remember though, a change here will affect something over there. Something someone will not be happy about will pop up.
If a transaction tax is considered, the process would eliminate all sales tax exemptions statewide. That would be a huge hurdle to overcome, Louden said.
Louden also indicated there is talk about another look at the school aid formula but he will not be part of the process because he is termed out.
Pipeline domain
Imminent domain is an issue that came to the forefront because of the XL pipeline debate and perimeters will need to be set for future projects, Dubas said.
Government entities can claim imminent domain and buy land for projects like roads and infrastructure. Dubas said more research is needed about specific language about who can use imminent domaain and where it is applicable.
Water rights boil down to politics and money, Christensen said.
Due to the drought, there is no subsoil moisture left anywhere in the state and irrigation allocations will possibly be adjusted this year. He has been researching a state statute that says a landowner has the right to the beneficial use of the water under his land.
Moratoriums and water allocations may infringe on a landowners right to his water, and that has to be studied. He is surprised a lawsuit hasnt come forward with just that principle in mind.
How each individual looks at these landowner rights is the difficult issue, Christensen said.
ICON attendees also listened to a drought and grass management presentation from Scott Cotton, UNL Extension Educator in Dawes County, before concluding the day with a business meeting and banquet.
