History , beauty, and transportation COLLIDE! Other than the homeless population hassling some visitors I would give Union Station a 5!! I have picked up clients here often as they come into Portland from Seattle and all over the country. Travel from here to Seattle or Montana sometime . It's awesome and everyone should Go By Train at least once !!
Why deal with horrendous I-5 traffic? Take the train + arrive relaxed instead.
Plus, you get to experience historic Union Station with its marble walls + vintage neon signs - built when craftsmanship still mattered.
10 Train Rides in America to Take in Your Lifetime.
1. The Empire Builder could easily be nicknamed the Great American Train Ride, as it covers a big portion of the country across a number of states, landmarks and cities. The route extends from Chicago to Seattle and travels through the plains of North Dakota, the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and the natural landscapes of Glacier National Park. The trip takes 46 hours in total and retraces many of the routes first explored by early American pioneers.
Beautiful station with a retro feel to it. It has a convenience store and decent bathrooms, along with the obvious ticketing counters and train station. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is that the area around the station is pretty sketchy.
No real complaints. The ticket lady was not friendly but neither was she unfriendly. Restrooms were fairly clean and there was security about to control the rifraf.
Decent on days that are not busy. There is never enough seating, many have to stand and wait for the train. But that is preferable than sitting on those wooden church pews. Bathrooms are quite small for so much traffic that comes daily and the “cafe”... Don’t bother and just grab snacks before you get to the station! It will save you money on train food and will give you way more selection!
Positive Highlights: They sell wine on the trains! Delightful! The station is clean and people are mostly well behaved. Outdoor smoking area with lots of benches and ash trays! Getting an upgrade is silly very cheap if the train is pretty empty. Got a sleeping room for $8!
This place is busy! Arrive early to check in. The outside is gorgeous! I like how there is no smoking on the grounds.
Perfect atmosphere for a train station! Some reviews criticize the neighborhood, the homeless, but that's exactly what makes it fantastic. A bustling urban transit center full of life, energy and character, which made stopping here while awaiting a transfer to San Francisco such a treat. As an author, being in an environment that is alive and thriving inspires great words, and many were written during my time spent here. The station is sprawling, the decor is awesome, and Portland is an amazing city. Wish I could have stayed longer.
