Nice hotel, unpleasant surprise
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/4/11
The hotel is in a nice location. Some rooms have a view of the Willamette River and Mount Hood, if the weather cooperates. They accommodated my son and his family with a crib and portable refrigerator, no charge. The riverfront park across the street is a great place to enjoy the outdoors in the middle of the city. However, I had an unpleasant surprise. The hotel does not have free internet (a given in most other places I have stayed) and my Verizon i-Phone had 4 bars for phone and text messaging but no 3G data service. In order to get 3G I had to cross Naito street into the park. It appears the hotel blocks the 3G signal so you have to buy their internet.
