Perfectly Pleasant Stay

We were here for 2 nights and had a pleasant stay. It was probably more of a 3.5-star stay but the service from the front desk was so great that it made the experience next level. Every staff member was incredibly friendly and a special shout-out goes to Grace, who was an absolute gem. Check-in was smooth and took less than 5 minutes. They provided 2 bottles of water and there is a water dispenser in the lobby as well. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but we were not a fan of the pillows (too soft). The bathroom was relatively new and brightly lit. We liked the scents of the products from This Works. The cafe/bar downstairs had good coffee and breakfast bites. We did not get a chance to use the balcony, but we did appreciate the nice city view. The wi-fi process was a bit confusing. You will need to sign up for Bonvoy to avoid wi-fi charges. Thankfully, I had some status with Marriott but we saw a list of charges when connecting. The front desk cleared that right up and clarified we were good for up to 6 devices and to ignore the pricing. Other minor nuisances - the toilet paper roll is behind usual reach and not very accessible, and the shower had very low water pressure even after adjusting the settings. At checkout, they asked about our stay and reviewed the bill with us. They would also say hello and ask about our trip, and provided recommendations for a rainy day when we asked for an umbrella. The staff is delightful, warm, and welcoming. For that alone, I would recommend this hotel!

Great river view

Nice hotel with great river views. Adjacent to a nice park and within walking distance of many venues. While certainly not the worst of Portland, our room also had a view of a homeless camp and the ever present graffiti. We were catching a cruise ship here or i would not have been caught dead in Portland.

All Good # just a few flaws

Mister Aseen was of great assistance, and assisted as good as he could to make my stay as pleasant as possible. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Marriott Portland, and everyone, was extremely supportive. Especially the Gentlemen in the Blue Shirt at the M Club Lounge was tip-top, and did the very best he can. What was quite surprising, that in the Marriotts BonVoy App, it specifically says that overnight parking is US$ 17 / night, and that the destination fee is US$ 25, and when I reached the hotel, I was told that there is no self parking and that Valet costs US$ 54 / night. Truth to be told, outside overnight parking is free and it just US$ 14 for early bird parking at the Crown Plaza parking. What is quite odd is, that it rains quite a lot and the connecting bridge on the 3rd floor is underwater most of the time, it looks like this is the only swimming pool they got left at the Marriott. (Refer to photos). That I hung out my Don't Disturb Sign and housekeeping still knocked on my door, this is kinda rude, but no hard feelings here, it was approximately 335 and my checkout was at 0400pm. Breakfast contained, at least, some fruits, which was awesome. Room was excellent, nice view over the river, and especially Ms. Grace did her best to accommodate my destination fee packages at her very best. There have been a great variety of options available, which included tickets for an art museum, Whiskey tasting, f&b credit (I got 5 x Gatorade and a Red Bull), a welcome gift (which is usually popcorn, but they were running out of it, and i went for a chocolate bar instead), and a bike voucher for 60 minutes, however, it was Sunday, and closed, therefore to be used next day, however, it was raining cats and dogs, the next day. Liked their gym, it was absolutely fine, all good.

Nice hotel, but it is Portland....

We had a nice overnight stay here. Rooms a comfortable, cleans and spacious.. The check in process was very slow (15-20 minutes) even though we had checked in online. Staff we unconcerned about that. The hotel is right across from the river park which is nice for walking. We also walked in the downtown area a bit for lunch and dinner. Be aware this IS Portland = lots of open drug use in public areas, large tent encampments, the usual characters that come with that. Because of that i would likely not stay in Portland again. It seems like a great city but it is just too much out of control there.

Expensive for what you get! Old noisy A/C will keep you up all night,fees everywhere
