We're at The Bidwell Marriott Portland with family. The room is wonderful, extra large with two super comfortable Queen beds! Our first time to Portland. There are four absolutely wonderful employees here that made and is making our 2 days totally enjoyable. Colton, Levi, Zion and Carolina. Great food recommendations and conversations. Ideal location too!

The Bidwell is still our choice, but only barely

This has been our hotel choice in Portland starting well before it was rebranded as The Bidwell, but recent changes have us considering other nearby places to stay. We have been visiting Portland twice a year, and the Bidwell has kept our business for now, but barely. The Bidwell is an older but well maintained hotel, comfortable, I would say. It’s location is good, just two short blocks from the Red Line light rail to and from the airport. But the Bidwell’s “destination fee” of $30 per day is difficult to justify, since downtown Portland, with its persistent and unfortunate problem with homelessness, can hardly be considered a “destination” area these days. And the fee now has us considering alternatives. We stuck with the Bidwell on this trip, but I just don’t know if it will remain our top choice. Yes, I know “destination” or “amenity” fees are becoming standard, but Portland is a competitive market and several comparable hotels use their lack of such fees to advertise their advantages. As Marriott Platinum members, we enjoy the 2nd floor M Lounge with its friendly and helpful staff, and free breakfasts. And, to be fair, the hotel now offers some offsets to the destination fee, including a $30 daily credit at the High Horse, the bar/restaurant adjacent to the M Lounge on the 2nd floor. Another benefit is a free daily cocktail for two, but if you’re not into these mixed drinks, this does’t do you any good. And while the food is pretty good at the High Horse, we found the wine pours frankly skimpy for the price. Smallish glasses combined with small pours. And one small glass with dinner for each of us wiped out the daily credit, so didn’t represent any break on rather standard hotel pricing for meals. The rooms are a reasonable size. The rooms come with a safe at no charge. Both on the plus side. Some rooms on high floors have nice views of Mount St. Helens or Mount Hood. When we look at our next Portland visit, we’re going to have to figure out the value of the lounge and its excellent free breakfast fare, and at what point it no longer represents a good value in this hotel market. I’m sorry to be kind of downbeat, as we have enjoyed our previous stays at the Bidwell.

Warm Greeting and a feeling of Family.

Was there on a Family medical stay, the view from my room was awesome. From the very first moment at the front desk, I felt the warmness of the staff. We were met by "Zion" asking if we needed assistance with a vehicle and luggage. He took care of everything asked us on a daily basis if we needed anything. My very first contact was with "Betty and her co-worker" at the Front desk, they made me feel like I was at home. They checked on my daily needs and saw to my every desire, welcoming back. The staff throughout the hotel was nice and very helpful. They happily greeted you and saw to your every need. I had breakfast daily and the staff (Pedro and Cory) served us breakfast in the lounge. Betty and of the staff had a very warm (remembering our names from the first meeting) and joyful greeting when we came in from a day at the hospital (days of surgery and waiting room for my daughter). The staff provided great service. This a family orientated big hotel because, all the staff made me feel like family. This hotel is my favorite in Portland, because of the Staff, accommodations and food are great. I highly recommend this hotel for your next stay in Portland, Oregon.

Highly Recommend

Highly recommend the Bidwell for the value, location and most importantly the staff. Tyler at the front desk was super helpful and a joy to interact with. So was the morning / breakfast staff in the M Lounge & restaurant: Travis, Corey and Jared (I think). Overall, the staff made our trip even more enjoyable. Thanks all!
