We'll also be having our 4 year old with us and would want to eat a decent brekkie in the hotel itself and that means the RI.
Is the RI Riverplace close to the airport train stop? How about parking? Any public parking close by?
Also, we plan to hit some of the wineries in Willamette Valley. Is there going to be a problem with a 4 year old in the tasting room?
Thanks for any suggestions!
The RI Riverplace is isolated from the hear of downtown and is right on the water. There is a public garage that serves all the restaurants/shops next to the hotel but not sure how convenient it is to the hotel.
No 100% sure on the Max (light rail) for this property but think it is a block or so away but you need to switch from the light rail to the streetcar to get to the RI.
Here is a link to a trip planner on the Tri met website (I would pass):

Seen many babies and children in the tasting rooms on prior trips.
