Top hotels in Columbia Way
The Paramount Hotel
We stayed for a night to catch a show Friday night. The accommodations were perfect. Room was clean and roomy. Check in was super easy and quick. Only small complaint was the low water pressure in the shower. We were in the 15th floor and didnt know if that had anything to do with it.

Park Lane Suites and Inn
The person that checked us in last Sunday afternoon was so helpful and allowed us to check in a little earlier. The tickets to the Japanese Gardens were a plus too.

The Duniway Portland A Hilton Hotel
Area was nice, hotel overall was ok. The refrigerator didn’t work, the “safe” in the room didn’t work, the hair conditioner didn’t pump. Water in room (1 cheap bottle water) was $4. Some mornings no coffee. Was ehhh ok.
