Top hotels in Johns Landing
River's Edge Hotel Portland, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
The hotel is in a great location, its interior is very nice and clean. My critiques are that there wasn’t a useable desk space, they charged $35 for parking, and you have to sign up for their rewards program to use the WiFi. Otherwise a great stay!

Cambria Hotel Portland - Pearl District
This hotel was central to everything we wanted to see in Portland. It was clean, staff were all so kind, and the lobby space/restaurant/bar was a great place to pass time and work. I would recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Portland.
