Hyatt House Portland/Downtown
Everything was great— big clean rooms, friendly staff, good location. But breakfast is terrible. Like so bad. We couldn’t believe how great everything could be but breakfast was inedible…

Red Lion Hotel Portland Airport
Very clean with a friendly staff. Coffee was good, airport shuttle was on time, plenty of parking and super easy property to navigate with pets. It’s an older building and not well insulated - still a terrific value and super convenient.
