Top Southwest Portland Hotel Reviews

Moxy Portland Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I jut stayed one night, but they cleaned my room which was very nice. The hallways were strangely dark. They were having some computer problems when I checked in, but they did the best they could. Parking was expensive , but that's the way it goes they did say when I left my car that if I was going to need it or give it a back after midnight , I'd have to make a range months , which was weird"

The Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel is gorgeous and a fantastic stay! The location was ideal. This is my second experience at a Royal Sonesta and they charge for everything! Know this in advance. The credit card hold placed at check in for incidentals is above industry standard. You will pay for parking, you will overpay for a buffet breakfast, you will pay for everything. There are no refrigerators or coffee makers in the room so you cannot even bring food in and keep it for your stay and you are at the mercy of the restaurant schedule. The restaurant/bar schedule was super inconvenient. Limited and not open for afternoon or after hours cocktails. Difficult to relax when you constantly have to leave the hotel."
