Top Downtown Portland Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and good breakfast"

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed one night (2 kids - 2 queens). Very comfy bed, generous checkout time at midday and flexible valet as we collected our car at 2:30pm after exploring Portland and heading onto our next pit stop. Very clean and had everything we needed. Had we stayed longer we’d have checked out the pool."

The Weldon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"There is no front desk, the send you a message with the front door and room code. I could not open the message and had to call Expedia to have them send me the message via email. Once in the room, it was great!! More like a furnished apartment than a hotel. Very convenient location. Very clean. Dishwasher, laundry, internet TV. I would stay there again."

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the Harborview! My husband and I took a mini-getaway to Portland so stayed only one night. I wish we had been there longer. It was a nice, clean room with a comfortable bed, and the view was GREAT. Every staff person we encountered was lovely and helpful. I have to say, the elevators were blazing fast. Maybe that's a weird thing to notice, but it was kind of great! No waiting! We ordered room service after plans unexpectedly changed, and it was delicious. Also, the breakfast at the cafe on site was also delicious. My only complaint is that the showers are the rainfall kind, which I hate. But that's not enough for me to get bent out of shape about. Our whole stay was just great and I can't wait to go back! Oh, also, rooftop bar is great! Just closes a bit early. Still, overall the whole place gets an A+ from me."
