Close, but not too close, River’s Edge Hotel & Spa’s South Waterfront District location is convenient and enjoys a vibrant – dare we say it – almost trendy ambiance and feel. A design blend of nature and sustainability. And it’s near to loads of essentials and non-essentials parents and students practically want and emotionally need while visiting or living in The City of Roses.
From a family’s very first visit to Portland to check out any one of Portland’s campuses, through new student orientation, to move-in day(s); through family weekend(s), to homecoming(s) and ultimately to commencement, River’s Edge Hotel & Spa is a comfortable ‘home’ base to reside and from which parents may navigate. And it’s affordable too!
