Top Downtown Portland Hotel Reviews

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, good restaurant with a mostly friendly and helpful staff. The room and hotel in general were clean and nice. Neighborhood has quite a few sketchy characters but they seem pretty to themselves. Would definitely return."

Hyatt Place Portland Downtown - Old Port Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, courteous staff. Under renovations when we stayed however it didn't affect us at all. The double queen suite was great and spacious. The breakfast space was a little lackluster but didn't impact our stay at all. Would recommend"

Aloft by Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront ME

8/10 Good

"Mark the driver and Crystal went above and beyond to help us during our 4 day stay. Chris, the weekday bartender, was engaging without being too chatty and gave us a personally recommended guide to Portland sites and restaurants that was spot on every time. The scent in the lobby was overpowering. My husband liked it. I found it offensive."

Residence Inn Portland Downtown/Waterfront

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable. Our only complaint was that the sheets and bed comforter seemed to be too short for the bed. We expect the bedding to reach our neck when we are sleeping but the bedding did not reach our and armpits. Breakfast was good. The staff kept everything stocked. When we needed ice, they happily provided."
