Great Location!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Feb 2020
We always enjoy staying at the Kimpton Riverplace! This last December we made a trip to Portland to check out Zoo Lights. It was a great time to visit because we were also able to view the Christmas ships from the comfort of our hotel room which our son loved! The location of the Kimpton Riverplace was perfect for getting to and from the zoo without having to navigate through much traffic. The hotel seems pretty central to everything we like to do in Portland which is just another bonus on top of the friendly staff, great food, and clean rooms!

So wonderful to hear! This Winter has been a chilly (and wet) one so watching the Christmas Ships from a room is definitely the way to go! Thanks for being our guest and for sharing your positive experience. It's guests like you that help us get the word out about how special RiverPlace is. Thank you!

Reviewed 15 December 2019

We booked two suites and upon check-in they had zero view. The view was other hotel rooms 20 feet away. Given it was the Amex FHR program I am really surprised they would allocate such terrible rooms. As it turns out, very few rooms actually have a view of the river because of how the hotel is designed so I have no idea why they call it RiverPlace. The room safe was not working and it took multiple days and multiple requests to have it repaired. There was a buzzing/resonating sound on and off in the room. The second room had issues as well. Housekeeping failed to clean the room on one of days. During breakfast they were doing renovations and were making a huge amount of noise that you could not talk over. It does not make for a very good experience. Why not do renovations between meal services or after hours? Overall, we were exceedingly disappointed with our stay given how the hotel was pitched and the price.

All aspects of our visit exceeded expectations - starting with arrival assistance for our family from the front desk and concierge, room service, and the beautiful location on the river. The restaurant for breakfast was very good and a good value for the price.

Room tip: No refrigerators in the regular rooms (except the honor bar), just the apartments.

stayed here for the authentic portland, craftsman vibes. felt like laid back luxury. booked the condo/suite it had a full kitchen which is great for families no pool but we were there for thanksgiving so we didn’t miss it. great location with cute restraints and coffee shops next door and a beautiful view. the staff are all super friendly and extremely helpful. only bad thing was that the heater doesn’t go very high unless you call the front desk and request what they call “vip heater access” that’s silly especially in oregon i the fall and winter. still it was a great stay :)

Thanks for being our guest! I truly appreciate you taking time to share your experience not just with the hotel but with the surrounding areas. So many great little nooks and crannies to explore in the South Waterfront area.

Thanks as well for the feedback on the thermostat. We'll definitely take that under advisement.

We hope you'll be back again soon. Try us in the Summer, it's a whole different experience!

We’ve been coming to Portland for 5 years now. We’ve stayed at various hotels but this one is now our new favorite. Friendly staff, great view of river, nice place to walk. Clean, beautifully designed. Loved it!!

I was blown away by the customer service and thoughtful details that the team put into our stay. When I arrived just before midnight with my kids in tow, the hotel concierge and bell hop were waiting. Dinner was in our room and a fire was lit. And, a very sweet (former nanny) set up a tent and play area for my kids. The food was great, the rooms and kitchen in the Marina view suite was incredible, the location and stunning views of the marina were out of this world, the cocktail hour was a pleasant surprise, but the Customer Service and the staff will stay with me forever. We’ll be back!
