Top South Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Portland/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This was my favorite stay in Portland thus far! I LOVE the location! It’s right by the water, cute patio restaurants, customer service was great, rooms were super quiet, beds were super comfy, views were awesome, breakfast was top notch all you can eat buffet! Location is super convenient! The only con is parking. They only have valet parking and it’s $55 a night…so I found a overnight underground parking lot that’s managed by a condo company and they only charge $24 MAX for parking as long as you don’t leave. I don’t think you should have to pay so much extra to park at the hotel you already paid for. So because of that 9/10 :)"

Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center

10/10 Excellent
