Visit Portland: Top 10 Reasons Why I Enjoyed Staying at the Red Lion Hotel on the River - Jantzen Beach

There's no doubt that I would stay at the Red Lion Hotel on the River - Jantzen Beach in Portland, Oregon again. Here are my top 10 reasons why I enjoyed staying at the Red Lion Hotel on the River - Jantzen Beach.

Plush Pillow Top Beds

1. Service:  Whether I was checking in, asking the front desk a question, or requesting something from housekeeping, everyone was friendly and helpful.
2. Plush pillow top beds: I still think about the beds and how I slept VERY well at the hotel.  I woke up refreshed every morning!
3. Refrigerator and microwave in every room: We almost always have leftovers when dining out, so being able to store leftovers in a refrigerator and heat them up for another meal is convenient and money-saving.
4. Location: The hotel is conveniently located near numerous stores and restaurants, and it is very close to the I5 as well.    
5. Ample free parking: We never had a problem finding parking, even when the hotel was hosting large conferences.
6. Hotel perks with reward club membership: All you have to do is sign up for Hello Rewards (formerly the Red Lion R&R Club) and you can receive free perks!  On this visit I received free bottled water upon check-in.  A very nice perk especially after flying for 5+ hours on a plane.
7. Jantzen Beach Bar & Grill: The food and service were both great at this on-site restaurant.   
8. Views: From the balcony, the pool, or the restaurant, a beautiful view of the Columbia River was always just steps away.
9. Abundance of Amenities: Complimentary Wi-FI and airport shuttle; whirlpool; swimming pool; fitness center; tennis courts - just a few of the amenities offered at the hotel.
10. Commitment to sustainability and the environment: Eco-friendly bath amenities and recycling stations in the hotel are just a few ways the hotel shows its commitment to sustainability and the environment.
