Hotels in Downtown, Portland

I noticed that the hotel was not very clean, which was disappointing. I ended up cleaning the bathroom myself so I would feel comfortable. Also, due to my flight being very early, an early checkout was refused to me, and I was told the reception desk would be locked in the morning until 7 am (which was when my flight was due to board). So I never did get to check out.

the mangers(I think) were rude. they charged 10 dollars a night for parking rrfused to let me park and unload unless I paid them 10 dollars. I will not ever stay here again. I believe I was over charged but didn't dispute it with them I was so glad to leave the place

The hotel was doing some construction but inspite of that it was a very pleasant experience.

The hotel location was in the center of Old Portland. It was great. I walked everywhere I wanted to go: the wharf, museums, shops, dining and even to Bug Light in South Portland. Even though the weather was cold and wet, the hotel provided an umbrella for my outings and a cozy, comfortable bed when I got back from my adventures.

Right around the corner from the stadium, tidy rooms, and friendly staff. The good news; no grody carpets. The bad news; no carpets makes for noisy upstairs neighbors.

One of the less expensive hotels in Portland, it's within walking distance of concerts, bars, and the Portland Grill. We were upgraded to a suite for no additional cost because they were filled up, so the value was even better. The next time I find myself in a hotel in Portland for any reason, I'll be staying here again.

My husband and I stayed at the Residence Inn Christmas Eve, the staff were very pleasant, the room was spotless . Our daugter brought chinese food to us, we had a lovely dinner with her in our suite. We would definately return to this hotel. We were able to walk into Old Port easily. Didn't feel we should have to pay extra for parking in a garage right next to hotel.

Beautiful hotel, clean, especially friendly staff. We stayed here for a girls shopping weekend. Its about 1/2 mile from Old Port shopping. You do have to pay to park 12$ night at the garage :( The rooms are excellent, full kitchens,plates cups,dishwashers,full size fridge. Very quiet,comfortable beds. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it was a full hour after the 3 pm check in before our room was ready and we had to sit in the lobby with all our bags. (they could have offered free parking or something for the inconvenience)

Amazing hotel, clean rooms, friendly staff, and great location. No complaints.

We had a great time at the Monaco Portland. Great, accomodating staff. Convienent location in downtown PDX. Awesome interior design job.

For us the location of the hotel is perfect. Within walking distance to visit family, museum, downtown Portland, restaurants and shops. Friendly staff, comfortable room.

The shuttle service was a definate bonus. Every staff member we had contact with were nice, friendly and accommodating. Only susggestion I have is there should be late night dining or at least a food vending machine.

This hotel met expectations. Was clean and quiet. My only gripe was the shower's plumbing was loud.

Enjoyed my stay at the Paramount. Clean comfortable room, nicely situated to a number of destinations which were easily accessible on foot or by public transportation. Minor quibble was it seemed rooms had thin walls, but that's truly a minor point. I would stay here again, especially at the price I paid.

The hotel is pretty well positioned in downtown Portland and staff members are for the most part pleasant and eager to help. However, the hotel is in need of major upgrades - mismatched furniture, very loud air conditioning units, circa 1970-style bathroom sinks are not very appealing.

Very accomodating at the front desk. Hotel did it's very best to meet my needs. Great location - walkable to every 'hot spot' in Portland.

It was really good. My only comment is that the modern sliding bathroom doors should latch instead of leave a small gap between the door and frame.

Modern, clean, great staff, comfortable and great location.

very good accomodations for the money. Walked to ballpark one night. Easy to get around.

The staff checking me in were EXCELLENT! Very helpful!

Great decor and great old school bar. Staff very helpfull.

My room was a good value, with partial views of the city and Mt. Hood. The lobby is its best asset being both gracious and intimate. Althought my room was large, it had leaky windows and lackluster decor.

this was a terrific hotel High class in every way, beautiful decor throughout , pleasant staff great inner courtyard and comfortable room would definatelly stay there again

This is one of the most comfortable rooms and beds I have experienced, and at an excellent cost. I can't say enough good things about this place. It is in the heart of a wonderful section of Old Portland.

The staff was helpful in arranging transportation and giving us some good ideas about what to do in Portland. The Portland Street Car begins its route only steps away from the hotel, and we used it for free and easy trips into the city. At night we had a wonderful meal at Thirst, a local wine bar and restaurant a short walk away along the river. The breakfast staff was friendly and eager to please. Our room was large and comfortable with a full kitchen, comfy king sized bed , and nice sitting area. The pool and whirlpool were very nice, as was the gym.

It was a nice family place, clean, quiet and roomy.

I always enjoy my stay at the downtown Mariott in Portland. Staff is good and hotel in at the center of the area.

Everything was wonderful, as usual and very comfortable. The only issue we had was being asked to pay $10.00/day for internet service. This is something that should be included in the reservation, as we all know, WiFi is not an expensive accommodation and one that, this day in age, should be a given. It inhibited the ability to work from the room. I did not purchase it out of principle, therefore had to go to local coffee shops off-site and it was an inconvenience. Other than that everything was very nice.

Stayed here for a leisure weekend. The location is great, rooms quite nice, and staff are very attentive -- except that they are really missing the skills of a concierge. Several times I had questions about services or amenities in the local neighborhood, and got incorrect or incomplete information or even "I never heard of that" in response to a request I thought of as common tourist info. They don't seem to have a separate concierge, these questions are just handled by the desk clerks, so my advice to management is, get a trained concierge; or, if you have one, they need to work more hours.

We stayed 1 night for a quick road trip up from Eugene. The "oversized double" bed was so small and my husband and I could barely fit. No fridge in the room. Other than that it was pretty nice and the staff were friendly.

* The room was perfectly clean and comfortable * I had the king room, which was great for 2 people and our dog...the fact that they allow small pets was a huge plus * Front desk staff were knowledgeable and friendly * Parking was close and convenient * The hotel was easy to get to I just needed a place for the night that was not too expensive. For less than $100, including everything, this place was perfect . The bed was comfortable and I really had no complaints. The steps are steep inside, and the halls are narrow, so I might not recommend anything off the 1st floor if either of these things would be an issue. Otherwise. Go for it.

The Inn was about a 10-15 minute walk from Downtown and all restaurants and bars. Room was clean and cozy with a cable TV. 5 minute cab ride from airport. Overall, it was a good stay and I would recommend it to anyone that is staying a night or two in Portland.

Walking distance from Powell's books, dance clubs, shopping, parks. Good tapas style food in restaurant. The rooms were were clean and the bed was comfortable, although they were of average size. I would definitely stay there again.

Tastefully decorated and very inviting lobby area. My room was also nicely done. Hotel is centrally located and within three blocks of the MAX red line train that serves the airport. My only criticism is that the bathroom sink was too small. The rooms are compact, but still very comfortable.

Located near everything in downtown, yet very quiet and peaceful. The reception desk is very slow, but service at the bar is attentive. The bar has embedded iPads to play with, that was amusing and a nice touch. Very polite and helpful valet and doormen.

Great service. Everyone was very kind and helpful. Nice room. Heavenly bed was heavenly. Didn't stay long enough to use the gym. Great coffee house just around the corner.

Very Classy Place! We found Parking was Difficult in down town Portland! We were able to park next door and walk through a tunnel to the Benson! They also Valet Park! We arrived a few Hours early....But They let us check in early so we were able to start exploring the area! All the staff was friendly and Helpful. The feeling of History was all over the Place. The room was average size and bathroom was small but worked fine! There were some noises from the street at night but still was fine. The Beds were super comfortable!

Located right in the Pearl district near all the "must-sees," and close to lots of transit options to visit other parts of the city. No real complaints!

Enjoyed the night I stayed there. Nice, helpful staff. Close to good resturants too

Our stay was great! Very comfortable, friendly and cozy. We loved the 5-6:00 pm cocktail hour!!!!

The RiverPlace is quite a nice hotel with some unique features, but does lack a few things from making it perfect. I was told it was just recently purchased by Kimpton who are spending some more money to bring more things to it though. Hotel - a charming smaller hotel right on the river with a fantastic view and nice atmosphere. It has some space on the outside with bike and walking paths which do not make it feel as clustered as the other hotels downtown. The rooms and the inside are very clean and are nice and are not dated like you find at some hotels that have been open awhile. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Location - the location is downtown which is nice, but on the far southeast side of downtown. Portland has a ton of mass transit system that can get you anywhere downtown with the exception of this hotel so you have to do some walking if you are here compared to the other hotels that are closer to the entertainment, museum, and transit areas. The upside is it is a bit quieter and peaceful Amenities - the hotel has a nice bar and spa area for the guests which is quite comforting. The food at the hotel though is quite disappointing. Portland is a great town for food, but the food we had at the hotel was sub-par for a hotel this nice and for the city as a whole, but there are numerous great restaurants throughout the city and I understand Kimpton is pumping more resources into the restaurant and food at hotel. If you are looking to stay in and not do anything at the hotel at night, they do not have in-room movie ordering like most hotels, but they do have a selection of complimentary DVDs downstairs. Price - right now they have a ton of specials going on. You can stay at this hotel for as little as $142 a night which is quite a good deal. Normally the price is over $300 I think. Overall, a nice hotel with some unique qualities to it. These qualities some might like and some might not as much compared with the other hotels in Portland in the same class. The only real flaw that irked me was the food.

Have stayed at a lot of hotels in PDX and liked many of them. Am a big Kimpton fan so pre-disposed to like their hotels. The rooms aren't as fun/funky as others (although the bathrobes are) but big, clean and comfortable with usual Kimpton friendliness. Would stay again.

The Heathman in Portland was a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay in downtown Portland. I thought the costs could have been a bit lower, but given the level of amentities it wasn't too over priced.

I was in town for business. The room was small, but nicely appointed. Parking was not great. Valet struggled to find my car stating they thought I was just checking in for dinner in spite of the fact that they helped with the luggage. Overall a very nice place very historical feel.

Have never stayed in a PDX hotel downtown - I usually stay in the suburbs - but I wanted to treat the girlfriend and wanted to be close to things downtown. This hotel worked well. We got lucky and our room was upgraded from a deluxe to a suite. Parking is a pain - valet is $27 a day and otherwise you have to self-park in the separate lot across the street. Housekeeping arrived early one day - they said they would come back but never did. Without the upgrade it seems a bit overpriced, but you're probably paying for location.

The hotel was in a great location. Walking distance to Powell's Bookstore, the food trucks, you name it. The staff was very courteous and quick to respond to any need. It was so quiet! Starbucks right beside the lobby. We'd stay again.

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel. Clyde Commons, the restaurant adjacent to the lobby provides their room service-- which was fantastic. The rooms are small, but interesting-- not your average hotel room! Not all rooms have a bathroom en suite-- some are down the hall. We found the walls/ceiling to be a bit thin-- so sound traveled from upstairs down and through the walls-- until quite late...

I've stayed at the Ace in its previous incarnation - the Clyde Hotel - twice before. What I liked/disliked about the original are the things that still make this new incarnation charming/annoying. I liked that the old Clyde was one of the few respectable permanent/transient hotels around, with a bath down the hall and all of the historical amenities of 1920. The water temperature and pressure was a little unreliable then and it still is now, but surprisingly the bath down the hall was incorporated into my room by way of a sliding barn door so I don't know how the other rooms fare with respect to private baths. They've done up the new Ace with a very practical utilitarian style, but the details of the linens and other extras belie the socialist affect. The Ace moose custom wool blanket is very sweet and the linens and futon itself are very comfortable. The LCD tv is a little small but the programming was good. And the mezzanine lounge is very cool, not to mention the excellent coffee at Stumptown Coffee next door and the Clyde Commons restaurant to the other side. In fact Clyde Commons is my favorite restaurant in Portland. So go stay if you're up for the young hip, tattooed crowd.

The hotel is nice but the room was small and a bit crowded. They had a nice bar area but we did not eat at the restaurant. We were put in a room that faced the parking lot and was closer to the light rail that made noise early in the morning. I think you should ask for a room that is not so packed, faces the river and is not on the end with the light rail and this place would be perfect! I suppose that room would cost more than we paid.

The location is the best with much to see and do. The rooms are small (two people max.) and the parking is outrageously expensive ($22 vs.$27 valet) for an on premise hotel owned lot. Rooms on two sides of the building have the parking lot view, but the other two have wonderful views; choose wisely. Beds, linens and baths are great, but expect dry coffee creamer and McDonald's (SBC) coffee, and very little of it, in the rooms. This hotel needs some extra attention to detail to justify the expense. The TV service is LodgeNet which is deplorable, the comp newspaper didn't show, and the 25 cent stick pen left in the room says Office Depot. No souvenir from here!
