Best Hotels near Water Tower Museum, Portland

We have been staying with 6 to 8 friends at this motel every year we come to the annual Show & Shine car show, it never disappoints with its clean well equipped rooms with all necessary items supplied. The well equipped out door lounge kitchen area, equipped with TV, fridge, barbecue and plenty of seating is a welcome facility for all visitors. The very friendly owner operators, are very knowledgeable about all the local attractions. If you are looking for a quality budget motel in Portland, we can fully recommend the Retro you won’t be disappointed.

Nicely designed & furnished. A lot of desk space in main room & a good amount of table top around the vanity sink in bathroom. Clean room & quiet from road noise (room 11). Also great value, for both standard & deluxe rooms. Owner is friendly & welcoming. Only thing I noticed was there were no accessible power sockets directly next to the bed, so phones couldn’t be charged over night whilst used as an alarm on bedside table. & the powerboard on the main bench was mounted too low, so my power plugs couldn’t be used there. The only spot to plug in was on the floor nearest to front window which Is less than ideal as devices could be seen from outside by those snooping in. Overall, I’d recommend this motel & will be staying there whenever I’ll be in town.

My wife and I recently spent four enchanting days and nights at Portland's Hotel Bentinck. I was initially nervous about booking into an 1856 building. After 15 seconds or so upon arrival I realized my fears were needless; what a wonderful place we found! This 170 year old bluestone masterpiece of Victorian architecture has been beautifully restored with everything that matters well up to 2021 standards. This is arguably the largest hotel room in which I have ever stayed, but gorgeously appointed with period furniture and boasting high ceilings with Victorian crown molding all around. The bathroom was intricately tiled throughout and ingeniously intertwined with segments of original bluestone. While definitely Victorian in affect, I rather suspect that this tiling is new -- Lord only knows what that would have cost. The five star touches we really appreciated included His&Her sinks, full size mirror, new shower with strong water flow, and of course a spa tub. The food was amazing--this place really knows how to cook a steak! And we loved our breakfasts each morning. As well, we often remarked as to how reasonably priced all of this wonderful food was. In fact, we probably didn't do Portland a lot of justice as we only ate here. As for the pub, well it might be the most friendly and authentic Aussie pub experience in Portland (although I'll need some more research for that one). Owner Rob and his entire team made us feel at home every minute we were there. What a wonderful staff. We plan to return to Portland this winter to see some whales and we already know that our entire stay will be at the Hotel Bentinck; I'm only sorry that we have to wait that long.

Service is very good, very satisfied

What a fabulous motel with fabulous service! I stayed only one night & checked in late. The owner (Janeece) recommended a hotel for dinner, heated my room, ensured there was fresh (in a bottle!) milk in my fridge for a cuppa & then stored my car for a week whilst I went hiking. This is not a flash hotel but you’re not paying for that. It is s very clean operation that offers fabulous service. Highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere, late to lunch but was not a problem. waitress was very helpful excellent food served with a smile by the chef. Good spot on the wardrobe. clean and well presented and an excellent way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. recommended for anyone who wants good value in a nice restaurant.

We stayed here for one night as we travelling through. While not a 'scenic' location, the grounds were well-maintained. Clean and quiet, family-run accommodation. Linens were fresh and wifi coverage was good. We really couldn't ask for more for the price. Highly recommended if you're driving through.

The room is excellent, with a 1.8-meter large bed and a small bed, suitable for our family of three. The environment in Australia is better. The bathroom window is not closed and a lot of things fly in. Just close it. Overall a hotel I like very much
