Where I booked. Hotwire. For the price that I paid, the hotel was exceptional. The Hotel The staff were courteous and helpful. Even though the hotel is quite some distance away from downtown Portland, the complimentary English style shuttle makes up for it. If your interested in a bit of a hike you can always follow the river to the... more

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for over 3 weeks. I was there on business and they were very accommodating and pleasant.. They tend to know after that amount of time your timetable and yet keep a distance. The spa is definately worth a visit, prob hence why it is a spa hotel, but business comes first. The... more

This hotel is further from the streetcar into the city than it appears on the hotels website. The desk staff were also unhelpful in providing directioins to the streetcar. They told me it was "just up the hill". Well, I went "just up the hill" and there was no streetcar. I did find another guest who was also lost. We... more

We were driving through Portland and had planned to stay for one night. We wanted to be relatively close to town so we could go in for dinner. The Avalon has a lot of positives, nice large establishment, on the river, quiet location. The rooms are nice, similar to a Hyatt. We enjoyed the spa amenities--saunas and jacuzzi, and you... more

My husband and I were really pleased with our recent stay at the Avalon. It is a very posh looking hotel, well appointed and for the most part staffed by very friendly, knowledgable employees. We had a junior suite with a partial river view and it was a really comfortable, spacious room. Our only complaints were that the towels and... more

My husband and I stayed in a riverside room for 2 nights. We checked in memorial day and left 2 days later. I heard they were extremely busy over the holiday weekend but we got there after the rush. Which was excellent because every time I went to the spa it was just myself and a lot of relaxing privacy?... more

First, let me start with the $18.00 taxi ride to this Hotwire "downtown" hotel. It's over 2 miles from downtown. If a downtown location is important to you, stay elsewhere. There is a limited shuttle to and from the hotel (with very wonderful drivers), but the hotel location is isolated and taxi fare adds up quickly. If you want to... more

I wanted a downtown hotel and so I booked with Hotwire and ended up being booked by them at the Avalon Hotel & Spa, which is NOT downtown and instead is over a mile from downtown. So my main gripe with Avalon is that they let Hotwire include them in the downtown section of Portland. Avalon has a free shuttle... more

I wasn't expecting much, just wanted a decent place to stay near the new OHSU Medical Office Building that wasn't too expensive and I happened to find the Avalon on Orbitz. The room was quite large, great bed, and a beautiful view of the Willamette. What differentiated this hotel to me from any other hotel I've ever stayed at in... more

I stayed here for three nights, and was very impressed by the quality of this hotel for the price. My room was very nicely appointed, with a lovely view of the river. Both the fitness facility and the spa are first-rate and available to guests free of charge. The free breakfast was conveniently set up on each floor. The adjoining... more
