This place is incredible! Although tucked a little out of the way, it is worth the time to get there. Everything was great; rooms staff and the spa! With a jogging trail on the river and a great place to dine and sip wine next door. I know we'll be staying there again

NIce location, falls short on service

Great location, reasonably priced.
Room service menu is limited but our order was above average in quality.
Wi-Fi network is spotty at best, basically not a service they should advertise, unless they upgrade to something more reliable.
Pillows below the quality one would expect from this caliber of hotel.
The Avalon is a beautifully decorated, and quiet hotel. The rooms look like home and the bathrooms are magnificent with the large, glassed-in showers. The decor of the room we stayed in was tasteful and not at all like a hotel. Room size ran a little small but adequate, and had a nice balcony looking out on the Willamette River.

The gorgeous, peaceful view, and the fact that this was away from the hub-bub, yet still close in, were the main draws for my wife and I.

Nothing compares in Portland!

The decor and architecture are very clean and modern. The views of the river from our suite were amazing. The staff in every area of the hotel, spa and restaurant were polished, smart, efficient and super-friendly.
I used the fitness club, men's steam room and sauna while my wife got her hair cut and pedicure. Then we had a couples ...
The facility was comfortable and plush. A great destination by itself but inconvenient for touring the city. They don't provide transportation to or from the airport and their in-house provided car into the city can't be depended on for scheduled pick ups or drop offs. Waited over 1/2 hour beyond scheduled service on several occaisions for ...

Close to all but away from it all

Gorgeous views, beautiful modern architecture and decor. Close to everything POrtland has to offer yet quiet and removed from the feeling of rushing. overall - just perfect.
This place is a gem. The service is top notch, the bed was super comfortable and the bathrooms was pure luxury.
The location is excellent. It's not "downtown" but the hotel offers a free shuttle service anywhere in Portland. Regardless, you are ON the Willamette River and the beautiful walking path is super for morning or evening ...
