Oxford Suites Portland

For this price, you can’t do better. Friendly service, clean nice rooms, and free breakfast!!! Our go to every time we go to PDX.

We had originally planned to stay at another location for our Portland trip, but after reading super scary reviews on Unilocal,I decided to find another place closer to downtown even though it was going to cost us an arm & a leg. I found Oxford after thoroughly searching all the online deals and this place offered the best deal and was still within a good distance from downtown.
The hotel itself is pretty nice — not the newest but has all that you need and look for when traveling. They provide Happy Hour every evening (coupons provided at check-​in: you get 2 free drinks/​person/​night — you can only choose from the pre-​set menu of the standard wine/​beer/​soda though) and have complimentary breakfast (coupons provided at check-​in) with a menu that changes everyday so you don’t get sick of their food!
The room is well equipped & service was good — we did experience a leaky pipe under the sink that took a couple of days to fix since no one showed the first day that we called. Parking was not an issue for the most part and it’s conveniently located next to freeway so you have easy access south to downtown and north into Washington state (one exit away)!
They also have a gym with equipments & towels, a laundry room with 2 washers/​dryers, and a swimming pool/​jacuzzi — we didn’t end up using the pool/​jacuzzi though since it was always very crowded and at one point someone brought their dog inside (!)…
All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely keep this place in mind if we ever end up going to Portland again!

Went for a meeting in the lounge and common area. Was very impressed with the staff and atmosphere. Plenty of food choices when one needs a quick bite. I just hated the traffic coming and going to get there.

Great price and deal for the family! We received 2 drink coupons and snacks in the evening, cookies in the lobby, breakfast in the morning.
The rooms were clean and in good working order. The hotel was easy to find and right off of I-​5.
Love getting the best deal for my money!

This was an excellent hotel for any budget conscious travel in north Portland. The staff was excellent, courteous and worked hard. They have 4 shuttles to take you around free from and to airport as well as nearby attractions. They provide free breakfast with made to order eggs, cereal fruits and all the fixings such as potatoes and biscuits and gravy. They also have an evening reception with soda, coffee, tea and beer and wine (you get two tickets) and a complimentary soup and salad bar. We made that dinner for me and my two daughters. They also have an indoor pool and spa with dry and wet saunas. Really an excellent hotel value with great amenities and helpful staff.

Executive King Suite — Oxford Suites Portland — Jantzen Beach has treated us to an okay at best hotel room, but nothing to write home about. Now, to be totally fair, we left a brand new, super modern hotel up in Seattle, and drove down to Portland to this hotel. Brand new to old doesn’t always bode well, and that may be mostly because we got used to the really nice new hotel.
My husband and I arrived about two pm when we came to check in. They did not allow us to early check in, which is fine, but just in case anyone else wanted to do an early check in, just take note that they likely won’t be ready for you until actual check in time. That itself doesn’t have any barring on my rating, that’s fine that they aren’t ready until check in time. Now, where i have a little bit of an issue with is that when we came back at about 3:15 or so, they still were not ready for us. A man at the front desk, who I can only presume was a manager the way he was dressed, got the issue taken care of immediately, but it still took another ten to fifteen minutes to get up us in the room.
Once we got up to our suite, we were welcomed by a clean room, but everything was incredibly underwhelming once we got inside. The furniture is old and outdated, the overall layout of the room was stale as well. The bathroom looks like that out of a Motel 6. It’s all clean, but again, just seems very old and outdated. The towels are your typical terrycloth towels that are scratchy and not very pleasant. A good thing to note is they have actual bottles of their own brand of shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in the shower. The smell is a little odd, but I actually quite like the shampoo and conditioner, and it was really handy that they had actual bottles instead of your normal, tiny travel sized bottles.
The TV’s are flat screen, but they resemble old flat screen televisions that do not have the best picture quality or sound. The bed had clean sheets, though not comfortable in the slightest. The bed is very firm and not very comfortable at all, I’ve had a sore, stiff neck and back for the past three days, and it has to be from this bed. The cooling/​heat system in the room I have not seen in a hotel since the early 2000s. It is incredibly outdated.
Speaking of severely outdated, our fridge and microwave in this room need some crazy updating. The microwave is so old, it’s one of the dial types. I didn’t even realize any place still used those. My husband tried to make popcorn and the microwave didn’t even heat up enough to pop the bag halfway. The fridge is a mini fridge that can hold about five items at best, and doesn’t keep them entirely all that cold.
They do give you some free items with this hotel which is nice. The parking is free, as is the wi-​fi and breakfast. The wifi has been a little shady, not the best of connections I have ever seen, but once it establishes a good connection, I’ve had little to no trouble. The breakfast has been pretty good, nothing amazing, but I have had far worse. They also gave us tickets to get up to two free drinks per night, as well as free soup and salad. We have enjoyed the free drink tickets (you can get basic wine, beer, and soft drinks), but we have not dared to try the salad or soup because it does not look very good at all. Theres a small computer down in the main lobby that you can use if you need it, but it like everything else in this hotel, seems old and highly outdated.
This hotel is nicely located to the freeway. We went over into Vancouver, WA (about 10 mins away to any given major point it seemed) quite a bit for food and shopping. There were a lot of major retailers nearby, but we never ventured to any of them. If we ever came back late at night, parking was kind of a pain, so we tried to stay close.
All in all, I can’t complain too much. The hotel was clean, but far from what I would say is nice. The staff was decently friendly, but the other half seemed sketchy and weird. There are no safes in the room, so we kept the «Do Not Disturb» signs up. The price was nice, especially since this was a last minute trip and it seems like mostly everything in Portland was booked up solid. I wouldn’t really recommend this hotel to anyone. If you aren’t going to be in it and just need a nice place to sleep, and to grab a bite to eat in the morning, it’s probably great. If you’re going to be around any amount of time at all like we were, I would skip this place and find something better. If they do some renovations and bring this hotel into the more modern era, it would be a much nicer place to stay, but until they do that, it’s got some much needed work to be done!

Solid hotel, clean rooms (though mostly just «updated» and not «new»), very friendly workers, giant parking lot that surrounds the building.
The area is a bit meh, so don’t expect to be able to walk out and enjoy any local nightlife. For that, you’ll want to be a bit further south, closer to downtown. But Oxford Suites is a fraction of the price, and makes the parking situation much easier to handle.
A lot of people seem to hate the continental breakfast, but I loved it! A few hot food choices (there were even giant trays of sausage and ham!), menu that changes every morning, tons of the usuals (cereals, breads, jams, etc), etc. Not sure how much more one could expect from a complimentary breakfast (which is honor system, by the way, nobody actually checks your tickets). We even took some muffins/​bagels/​breads/​fruits to go every morning for our hikes. The only thing I can find to complain about is that the juice cups were hilariously tiny.

This hotel is bomb dot com! 1 night for $ 146.
Pros:
— Best free breakfast I’ve had at any hotel. You can order certain foods to be made fresh by the cook. I ordered a fried egg for example. I think the menu changes everyday (?). I wanted to make a waffle and one of the workers said there were waffles yesterday, but not today :(.
— Target, ross, best buy, ulta, and many other stores are within walking distance
— Extremely close to the freeway. Both to downtown Portland and to Seattle
— Clean rooms. Extremely comfortable. Great amenities
— Lots of parking
Cons:
— 7 miles from downtown Portland
Highly recommended. Would definitely love to stay here again if I drop by Portland.

We reserved online a deluxe double queen suite for 2 nights for $ 121 a night (it was a Sunday and Monday night).
The room was considered «deluxe» because it was a corner room and had a larger seating area. It was a great sized room. Had a microwave, mini fridge (but not the tiny tiny ones, actually had room to put things in) and a small coffee maker on the bar.
The room was nice and clean when when we walked in but little things were noticed while we stayed. The lamps were all broken, while they turned on it was hit or miss whether or not the while switch/​lightbulb combo was going to snap off. The carpets were absolutely disgusting! Feet were black after walking around for a little over an hour.
The bathroom had a deep, jetted tub which was a nice surprise. However, there was a lot of staining in the tub and the tile/​grout was stained. Made it look pretty grimey. They provide large bottles of hand soap, shampoo and conditioner.
The breakfast was good! Made fresh to order eggs and veggie sausage, a Buffett of scrambled eggs, potatoes, ham, yogurt, cereal, juice (Apple, orange and cranberry), milk (2% and non fat), fruit, donuts… my only complaint is that their drink cups were a little larger than shot glasses. For those who prefer to not have coffee with breakfast, it was a little frustrating to have to go back and refill your glass after 2 sips!
Overall not a bad hotel. With some minor cleaning changes, would have had 4 stars!

We booked one night here for $ 150. I was happy that there was an evening reception and that they had dinner.
Their evening reception had salads, chips, and fruit. A pleasant surprise.
I ordered the pan seared salmon for dinner for $ 14. It came with a lemon slice, mashed potatoes, and sautéed vegetables on the same plate as the salmon.
The salmon was juicy, not overdone, and full of flavor. The sautéed vegetables were perfect.
The potatoes were mediocre and tasted like ordinary ones.
The hotel was clean, and larger than expected. However, there was lots of empty space.
The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was fine.
However, the wifi was extremely unreliable and slow, which was annoying.
If I could give it a 4.5, I would. But they don’t deserve a 5.

THE best hotel I’ve ever been to! I can’t say enough good things … To start they are pet friendly and a luxury hotel. They give you a dog bowl and treats even for your pet when you check in! The staff is great very helpful. I remember one of the girls had a great sense of humor and everyone is so nice. The made to order breakfast is absolutely delicious (they even had vegan sausage go figure) and everything is made right in front of you. They also gave everyone in our party two free drink tickets PER NIGHT to get a wine or beer along with the free breakfast tickets. So basically it was like eating at a restaurant for free. I ended up staying an extra night it was so great!

If you like ants in your bed all the way up on the 4^th floor, then by all means stay here! Our room was infested with ants during our weekend stay. Yuck!!! Also, the room was very dusty and we had repeated issues with getting the bathtub to drain. We would not stay here again.

We liked our stay here, having been long time fans of the Checking was easy and they recomended a restaurant down on the marina. The room was clean and we liked the counc over by the window. However, not having a fan in the bathroom makes it super hot for showers. I’d suggest installing a fan, as it helps with the humidity and water dripping down the walls.
The linen was nice, rooms re painted and attended to by some updated modern furniture. While built with cinder blocks the red future wall is a nice touch.
We had been placed on the floor with many softball teams, who were moving from room to room, bouncing balls on the walls and being very loud. If one of our party was not already asleep, we would have asked for a room change. However, a neighbour must have called front desk as we heard security come up. In fact I heard them come up a few times.
We may try this location another time. As we are back this fall.

Drove from Bellingham to Portland and make a reservation online.
Cons:
* The lady at the front was a little up tight and just cut us off every time we had something to say and kept assuming we smoked. When I told her three times we didn’t. After a long speech about everything we got into our rooms.
* I called for extra pillows and the same lady answered the phone and asked «did we short you «I’m like idk what your definition of shorting me is but I would like few more.
* then the heather/​cooler wasn’t working will at all. I was sweating in my room and called for a fan and they said they didn’t have any but would change our room. So 15 min later we got moved to a room that’s fans worked will.
After a long drive and being tried it wasn’t fun dealing with Any types of issues. I was hoping we could have asked them for some advice for this to do around here but the lady just didn’t seem interested.
Pro:
* 2ed room was wayyyyyyy better than the first.

Appreciate your reply to my previous response and for contacting us personally as well. Mahalo for taking personal time to address a challenge to your property. Great business practice in heading off a negative response directly with feedback from someone from your management team.

4÷30÷2015 We are truly sorry that a misunderstanding occurred regarding the hours of operation of our shuttle service. Thank you for taking the time to post your concerns and to speak to our Assistant General Manager regarding the problem. For the benefit of others who may read this review, we do not offer a 24 hour shuttle service to the airport. Our shuttle service runs from 7:00am to 10:00pm and fees may apply. It is on a «first come, first serve» basis and we may not have space on the shuttle the «day of». To ensure your seat on the shuttle, you must call the hotel well in advance of your stay and reserve your space. Again, we offer our most sincerest apologies that a problem arose. Thanks for staying with us.

The good…
I will say the staff is vey friendly, and the maids do a great job as well as the restaurant and bar staff.
The breakfast is very well done as is the evening soup and salad bar.
The bad…
4:49pm in the pool area is filthy dirty dishes with mounds of remnants from breakfast. (Breakfast closes at 9:00am, so this has been sitting there all day.)
The kids probably love the «clothing optional» sauna since there is a swim-​suit left behind on the floor. I may just be assuming that the person that owns the swim-​suit wasn’t wearing anything under it.
3^rd floor is where you can almost always smell pot. The back few rooms is where the party is. That’s what kept me awake all night. The pot smoke was even getting into my room.

We decided to come down to Portland for our anniversary weekend. We didn’t want to spend a lot of money since we spend most of our time out and about, but we do expect a clean place.
This place is very clean. King size bed, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker. Loveseat sofa, desk, everything you’d expect from a hotel of this size. 24 hour fitness room, swimming pool, sauna. Free breakfast, free afternoon/​evening appetizers, free beer, wine or soda.
Breakfast was better than most hotels with free breakfasts. eggs were real eggs not stuff from a powder. Yesterday they served kielbasa sausage. Today was a sausage patty. Breakfast potatoes, crispy waffles, fruit, cereals, juice, milk, coffee, tea. There was also a large selection of breads, bagels, etc.
Free appetizers were build your own salad. Ok, it was just lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, carrots, croutons and your choice of salad dressing. Friday offered soup, chips and crackers with the salad. We got there late last night so don’t know if they offered more than just the salad. Both nights it was enough that we didn’t need to go out for dinner.
Only drawback was that we came on a weekend when lots of families with kids were staying there too. It was only in the restaurant that it was an issue. Babies crying, moms yelling, and dads ignoring.
We will definitely come back.

I’m pretty torn between a 3 star or a 4 star so I’ll give it a 4 star with an explanation.
Reasons for 3 stars:
–Very old, outdated feel. Hence the pic of the hallway with drab looking carpet. When you come to a hotel, you want to feel comfort and relaxation and not wonder which decade they laid down the carpet. That also includes the carpet in the rooms.
–The bed has definitely been around the block and then some. It was pretty flat and used. Not awful but not great either. Fortunately, I did sleep well on it.
–The view. Not much of one. Ok, I got spoiled at the Silverdale Oxford. Just check out my pic of their balcony view and you’ll understand.
Reasons for 4 stars:
–Very good prices considering you’re only 10 mins or so from downtown Portland. I checked the prices for hotels in the downtown area and it’s pretty outrageous. $ 450.00/night. No thanks. We paid around $ 150.00 for a King bed.
–Their breakfast is pretty good. All Oxford ’ s include a full breakfast buffet but this is the first one we’ve seen that offers special made to order eggs: poached, egg whites, or over easy. Awesome idea for people who have dietary needs and can’t eat yolk. They always come scrambled.
–The service is prompt and friendly. We’re pretty easy in that we don’t use maid service and rarely ever call the front desk but their check — in and check — out were quick and professional. Just like we like it.
So, overall, it looks like a 3 star hotel but everything else bumps it up to a 4 star. No doubt we’ll stay here again when we’re visiting Portland.

There is NOT ONE BAD THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!
If I could give it 100 stars… I would!
We were in Portland for 4 days. We stayed in Shilo Inn in Beaverton and hated it!
I went online to find a better hotel and found this one.
From the second I walked in and was greeted by a most friendly woman at the counter who checked me in quick, we chatted a bit about Portland etc and I went on my way.
Entered the room, it was spotless! Had a nice little sitting area with a couch, nice flat screen tv, big bathroom, nice vanity area. The beds. The beds were GLORIOUS! I hated to wake up! They were just the perfect amount of firm/​not so firm… if that makes sense. Trust me, you will sleep soundly… like a baby! :)
The staff all over the hotel is so friendly! Just a very pleasant stay there! I highly recommend it!
Its literally a 5 minute walk over to the river banks so you can go and photograph Vancouver from the Portland side…(thats what I did lol) I shot some night photos there and it was just lovely and walked 5 minutes back to the hotel.
There is a gas station across the street and a burger king, but just a little further down the road (probably a car ride or bike) there are all kinds of shops and restaurants. Theres a Target! :)
You will enjoy your stay there if you and I think you should go.
I paid $ 124 for a double queen room. It was Perfect. Im a student and that $ 124 was a little much for me, but I did it as a gift for the person I was with… especially after our bad experience at Shilo Inn…
So, go here! its comfortable, clean, and friendly and close to the water! :)

Great deal and located relatively close to University of Portland.
They offer breakfast every morning, and it’s not just cereal and pastries. (Sidenote: there’s nothing I despise more than true «continental breakfast»…who can eat a jelly danish for breakfast and go on to have a great day?!) That being said, this one has REAL breakfast garb, like potatoes, pancakes, sausages, and eggs! They can special order if you want benedict, poached or fried eggs, or egg whites. And if you happen to be back at the hotel from about 5:30 pm-​8pm you can redeem your tickets for a free wine or beer, and partake in the soup and salad bar. All for free!
The rooms were pretty spacious. My only gripe was the super lumpy, uncomfortable pillows. Oh and the sink is right by the door when you walk in. Not with the toilet and shower. That’s in a separate small closed off room by itself.
We were hardly at the hotel, mostly just to sleep, so we didn’t get a chance to check out any of the other amenities… but there’s also a small fitness center, computer room, laundry facility, and indoor pool and jacuzzi.
I’d highly recommend this place if going to Portland!
