This hotel is river place but not river *view*. Although this hotel is right next to the river, it's sandwiched between some other tall buildings and the multi-level I-5 river bridge. That pretty much prevents any room from having a nice view. The "city view" rooms on the back side look onto a lot that is staging construction supplies for the streetcar bridge being built on the other side of the hotel.

All that said, the hotel itself is quiet despite its proximity to the traffic. The staff is helpful and friendly, plus the breakfast is great. There are some great restaurants a few steps away on the riverfront trail, we thoroughly enjoyed. the Riverfront Cafe and Newport Grill. The hotel is pet friendly and you'll find plenty of canine company along the river front.
