Finding the hotel was a little tricky since it sits off the highway. Check in went smooth. We were pleasantly surprised to find we had a room with queen size "Select Comfort" beds which allow you to adjust the firmness of the beds. Very nice! Also, the hotel restaurant called the Lakeside Cafe, which had below average ambiance, had VERY good food from salads, Ahi tuna (kind of a sushi), calamari, sandwiches and fries. We did not have breakfast there. Note: we were not able to find other good restaurants in the immediate area unless we drove several miles toward portland downtown area. Also, one of the staff told us they were only 60% full so we probabley could have got the room for even cheaper than our the $60/night we paid but I feel we still got an excellent deal.

I thought this hotel was going to be so luxurious but it really wasn't. I booked the Charles Lindbergh level room, which is supposed to be top of the line and so fantastic. The room was average, nothing special, the sleep number beds were not that great, the restuarant in the hotel was a lot smaller than I expected and the staff was complaining loudly about their jobs! The pool was right off the lobby and had huge windows in between so the people in the lobby watched you swim. You can here the plane from the airport in the hotel and it woke me up several times. The regular staff was friendly and helpful. If you're staying near the airport it may be a good choice, but don't go out of your way because you think it's luxury. It's not.

Got the Radisson on Hotwire for $51 a night, Thursday and Friday in July. Nice room, helpful staff, everything worked, clean and quiet. No traffic, train or plane noise. Although only an average three star property, the price made it a fantastic bargain. I was given a handicap room, which has happened on Hotwire before, but I consider the extra room and less wear and tear to be a positive.

Drawback is the somewhat hidden location in an office-industrial park so print out a map on mapquest. As a base of operations to explore Portland, it is neither central nor easy to get in and out of. You will want a car if this is not just a night at the airport before flying out. No transit in the area that I could see, not near the light rail station, stores or ameneties. Lots of loud, active, uncontrolled children and their rude and clueless parents on Friday evening in the public areas and hallways, not the hotel's fault of course. The pool may make this property attractive to traveling families.

My ordeal started when after I booked my room online, I called the hotel to ask a question. I was told they had no record of my reservation. I planned on leaving the next day so I was hesitant to go there not sure of whether I had a reservation or not. The staff member I talked to was very helpful and offered to make a second reservation just in case the first one didn't come through. He assured me that one of them could be cancelled easily. When I checked in, my original reservation had indeed come through so they were supposed to have cancelled the "back up" reservation. I showed them my confirmation receipt t hat showed my credit card had been ran when I made the first reservation but they insisted that that wasn't possible and ran my card again.
They assured me that I was only being billed once. The next morning when my bank opened I called them to see if I a had been billed twice, and sure enough I had, for two totally different
amounts,95.63 (the correct amount) and an addidtional 125.65.
I tried to sort it out with the desk clerk and he just would not, or could not see the problem. When I returned home I saw on my online banking that the correct charge had cleared my account but the Hotel still had a "hold" on t he other, incorrect ,amount. The amount is still being held and I am told that I won't know until t he end of this week, whether or not the hotel released it.

As for everything else, the room was Okay for the price. We stayed on the executive floor which has the continental breakfast and the managers reception. Just know that the managers reception is only on Monday-Thursday and the continental breakfast is a carb lovers paradise, but a diabetic or protein lovers nightmare. You can however use your ticket for 3.00 off per person at the hotel cafe. The pool was closed and unavailable for the whole time we were there (where is the travelling knome when you need him!).
I loved t he sleep number bed and it is definitely quieter than some of the other airport hotels. I might have considered staying here again if they had been more open about fixing their mistake.
