Hotels near Marshalls, Portland

We were there for the PDX marathon. We were told there would be a runners' breakfast. We went downstairs to locked doors because they ran out of food! Several runners were livid. I was willing to take coffee and a hard-boiled egg at that point. No one would answer the door. We went upstairs to ask the front desk what was going on. The only attendant working said, ”no one told me they were closing”. I asked for a coffee. She said the machine isn't working and no one told me how to clean it. Ok, we will go get something from the snack room. Bought a yogurt and cheese and crackers tray. She said we will charge your room $5.00. I was mad because breakfast was supposed to be free. I got my bill yesterday, the front desk charge me $9.00. My room was over $400.00 for one night and we were treated with such indifference. I don't think I will be back! Also, we were promised a two-bed room. We received a King bed and a sleeper-sofa. The sleeper-sofa was thin, slanted and really uncomfortable. When I asked the front desk to exchange--he told me, in an arrogantly, rude way, that I was wrong in how I ordered and I should have expected a sleeper sofa in the suite. I don't know what it takes to be the official Portland Marathon hotel, but another hotel could definately have done better.

I spend 100 nights per year in just Hilton brands alone. I'm middle aged and not high maintenance. Additionally due to my industry/company I've been required to travel during the entire COVID nightmare. I totally understand the challenges and changes the pandemic brought to hotels and have a great deal of respect for the hospitality industry as a whole. This is my 4th time being a guest at this property and honestly there are no major issues. In general property, guest rooms, staff and location are all great! This is more a full-service hotel and a considerable step above your typical Hampton Inn format/experience. A few minor irritates: No shampoo in my room or at front desk. Was told they ran out? No loaner guest umbrellas. Was told they ran out? Limited breakfast hours and no to-go bagged breakfasts on the weekends? Regards to homeless/transient problem that plagues Portland. It's considerably better/cleaner around the hotel and Pearl district than just a year ago. I have no issues walking around by myself or concern about parking my car on the surrounding streets (except some park blocks are still dicey).

The hotel itself, front desk staff, restaurant, and rooms are fabulous. The price was great for all that. Really impressed with the size of the room, the bathroom, the décor, the amenities, quality, look/feel, service, etc. That was the highlight for my trip, and if this hotel were located somewhere else, I'd come here every time. That said, the location of the hotel being in the worst of downtown Portland, coupled with ridiculous (literally, jaw dropping stunning) parking challenges, makes this a no-go for a recommendation. It's hard to believe they have no parking structure, and must only use valet or (unsafe) street parking. Even getting to the hotel is difficult because so many streets nearby are closed. I called and asked how/where I was supposed to park, and was told it was just valet, and to find any spot in front and double park (which I did). I actually had to park in a bus stop, left my blinkers on, and gave my key to the valet. 45 minutes later, I could still see my vehicle on the street from my 10th floor room, so I went down to the valet and expressed my concern that I was going to either get a ticket or get towed. He said he was very overworked, had started his shift at 2pm (it was 11pm at this time), hadn't had lunch or a break, that the parking was almost at capacity, and he ”hoped” he would get to it later. While I was talking to him, two other guests interrupted (presumably with the same concern) and decided to park on the street and risk it. 20 minutes later, my vehicle did finally get parked. In the morning, one of my antennas was snapped off and sitting on my front seat. Par for the course... I wish I had known how bad the parking situation was beforehand, because I would never have chosen this place. It's a shame too, since the hotel and room were awesome. If you're taking a taxi or ride share to the hotel, and don't intend to go out, then this is a winner. If you have a vehicle of any kind, don't even bother. It's an exercise in frustration and annoyance.

In the city center, dining and shopping are very convenient! The room size is moderate and the breakfast is not bad! The bathroom is quite big! This is very good! It is convenient to go out for a taxi! !

The location is very good, centrally located, the best shopping in Portland is within one kilometer, very convenient

This hotel is in the perfect location. Very close to good restaurants (Indian & Italian), walking distance. Close to Target and CVS too. The Hotel in general is well maintained, modern and clean. In addition, the bedding is extremely comfortable and a well thought out room layout. I appreciated the mini fridge, ironing board and state of the art iron. These small details made my experience very pleasant. Also, the gym was very clean too. Highly recommended this hotel!

I can only speak to my experience but, in no way did it resemble the one star reviews. I found the property welcoming in nature. The staff were great and really seemed to like their positions. While I didn’t eat or drink in the hotel, the bar area was quite inviting as was the lobby area in general. I went and looked at the pool and hot tub and it was inviting. The problem I had to work late and the pool was most likely closed. It would be nice if the pool and hot tub were open late w/o children after 9PM. I will be back and I’ll bring the kids too
