15 reviews for Portland Marriott City Center
Great location, price and quality. The staff was very friendly and accommodating in all aspects. The room was larger than expected and had a lovely city view - not facing the noisy street.
I felt very comfortable and welcomed here. I will definitely stay again for future visits.
Average for your downtown hotel. I can't really say much. Not sure if I would pay full price for this hotel. Just used up my Marriott Points. The breakfast buffet is about average (what you would get a Hampton Inn or a Courtyard Marriott), but they probably charge a lot because you're in the city. I would recommend going out and finding something else. Their concierge was very helpful though in pointing us towards their outdoor festival that they hold every Saturday. Lots of crafts, handmade art, and FOOD! Go check it out if you're ever in the city.
Don't bother going to the "business center." The computers are soooooo broke.
The location is good since it is right downtown in the middle of everything, and the valet service was really great because they held my bags both before I checked in and after I checked out while awaiting my flight. The room was a little small but it was pretty standard in terms of comfort. The thing that knocked off the stars were because I was expecting to check-in at 3pm like I was guaranteed on BrewFest weekend, and I did not get my room until around 5pm. Talk about bad timing, not cool making me wonder around downtown PDX after hitting up BrewFest.
We booked our room here knowing we wanted to stay somewhere downtown during our weekend there. This Marriott was all we needed!
We took the train from the airport and walked the two blocks to our place-- very convienient ! The front desk was really nice when they checked us in and we got a room on one of the higher floors like we requested since the reviews said they were the nicest and newly remodeled.
The room was spacious and clean- awesome TV and the bed was like heaven!
Another cool thing was you could print out your boarding passes for free right in the lobby. We loved it!
Great location, great value for its price. I was pretty happy about my stay at this Marriott. Couple points that I liked about this hotel are (1) Jacuzzi was pretty good - not those small 4 people tub but this one was pretty big. (2) courtesy PC and printer near the entrance to check-in and print out boarding pass.
One of the disappointment was their "business center". This room was 8x4 tops, 2 chairs and 2 PCs clammed together. My fiance described it as "it was so small that one person inhale and the other person need to exhale". And no free wireless connections, instead, you need to pay $10/day if you want to use Internet. Hmmm.... We went to a cafe across from the hotel for the free wireless connection :)
The best part about our stay at this Marriott was how incredibly friendly and helpful all of the staff were. From the chocolate chip cookies we snagged at check-in (even though we checked in at 1:30am!) to helping us find a great place for brunch (Mother's is just a few blocks away), the folks at the Marriott were awesome.
The rooms are clean and comfy too, but we wished the window opened. Props for the super-accomodating room service, even if the delivery guy thought we were weird for ordering bananas at 11pm (sometimes a girl just needs some potassium).
Conveniently near the lightrail and Powell's Books too.
For the price, this is a very comfortable hotel with plus bed, great city ciews(corner rooms!) and all the typical Marriott ammenities. Quiet indoors with a walkable neighborhood with shops, whole foods, restaurants. Safe area though valet is 30 per night.
This hotel surprised me in a very positive way. Service is of the highest quality at this Marriott. The entire staff takes customer service seriously and they were very attentive to our needs. Staff was friendly and courteous in a manner found in much more expensive hotels in the larger cities.
This is a downtown hotel and doesn't have the amenities of a resort. The lobby is small and they do not have a pool. However, they have a fine exercise room and whirlpool. Also, the complimentary breakfast and evening happy hour were satisfying.
Excellent staff and management set this hotel apart from the others.
Great location and service. But they gave us a double, which was uncomfortable for two people. So, we ended up sleeping in separate beds most of the trip. We were able to get a couple of cardio workouts in, and hopped in the whirlpool to wind down. It was pretty empty during the times we went. And they had a fruit basket with apples and pears, which we totally took advantage of. A pool would have been nice, but I can't be picky because we were walking distance to all the great shops.
Incredible location in my favorite quadrant of Portland. Large beds! The Portland Marriott City Center is a fine compromise between visiting friends at Portland State, twirling in the quad, and reading good books at Powells.
For a poor art student who's piggybacking on a free weekend trip with his businessman father's Marriott credits, this is as pleasant and lavish as Marriotts get. The amenities include a heated spa and workout room, both of which I didn't have time to use. We (the lover and I) were too busy taking advantage of the comfy room then exploring sketchy parts of Portland underneath sordid overpasses where heroin needles are.
While Marriott is hardly a definitive representation of the area the hotel is in, the area the hotel is in is an ideal representation of Portland. There are lots of small business, museums and parks in the area. I recommend checking out the view from the top floor inside the window-lined VIP lounge. Free breakfast and dinner if you sneak in, um, or if you stayed in at least one Marriott from every state. Oh, dad.
Location, location, location
Although the room we stayed in was pretty average for the money, I have to give big kudos to the staff and location. My mom was visiting and we decided to stay in a hotel for something fun and different. We could easily walk to restaurants and bars, which was a big plus since my mom can't get around quite as good as she used to. We never ended up taking a taxi because the location was that great. The staff was also extremely helpful when it came to suggestions on places to go nearby for what.
Tip: Have your out-of-town guests stay here. It's more affordable than most other hotels downtown, and they will be able to get around without you and a car for little errands.
This is standard Marriott quality, in a great location. I was less than impressed with the front desk staff, but we got a great rate that included parking and the breakfast buffet (which was by far one of the best quality quickie-hotel-breakfasts I've encountered).
Valet parking was very convenient, with drop offs right in front of the hotel's main entrance. When we were ready to go, the car was ready almost immediately, as well. The linens and decor were nice, nothing super extraordinary. The vending machine on my floor did not work - no big deal, but when you're trying to avoid a hangover and just want a quick soda, its a bummer. The toiletries were Bath and Body Works, which was very nice.
We also had dinner at Shula's, which is the in-hotel restaurant, which was a pleasant surprise, but which I'll review separately.
Unfortunately, I was less than impressed with the Marriott. I actually had to call them to clean our room when we returned at 4:00 p.m. and saw that it had not been cleaned.
Very nice, swanky and the staff were all incredible. The day we got there, we were greeted with a great room, great view and a free movie! I was sad to find out they just had the jacuzzi and gym and not an indoor pool but it was forgiven because the hotel was located in a great part of the city and because of their amazing restaurant which had terrific hamburgers. This was our first hotel during our first visit to Portland, OR and it couldn't have made the trip any sweeter. Please keep it up Marriott!
I had a great experience at this hotel. I would have to agree with Alan B, and say that the service was excellent. We arrived bright and early and pulled aside and were able to check in even though it was quite early. We had spotted a lot next to the marriott on the way there, and chose to park there. Do that! The lot is only 8 dollars for the entire day and night on a weekend, and 9.25 otherwise. Parking at the marriott is 24 dollars a day, so this was much better. Our room was really nice, the bed was nice and comfortable, and I was really impressed by the hotel shampoo. They had a multitude of maps that helped us to navigate our way through portland. The gym looked very nice for a hotel, although I did not use it, and the whirl pool, which I did use was very nice. The concierge helped us find 2 restaurants, one for each night, and both were excellent, he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Lastly, with a AAA discount this hotel was extremely affordable and worth way more than what we paid. The location was superb, just a couple of blocks from the main public transit that helped us travel everywhere in the city. We could also walk most places from here if we wanted, which came in handy late one of the nights. This place is great, and very much recommended. Great Location, great service, Great price, and Great time Guaranteed.
