To make a long story short, my wife and I stayed at this hotel last year and had some unpleasant experiences, but the hotel manager reached out to us and asked us to come back. We did, spending a night this weekend, and found they had worked hard to address our previous concerns. It was a pleasant stay, the staff... More

We stayed 4 nights at the Residence Inn. Waterfront may be a stretch although you can walk a block and see the commercial waterfront area. That being said there are plenty of nice places to eat close by and if it's not an easy walk the courtesy shuttle is a great way to travel. Monday - Wednesday they have evening... More

We are frequent flyers at Marriott and veterans of many a Residence Inn although we've never stayed at one in an "urban" environment. This Residence Inn is *really* nice. It looks nothing like the other Residence Inn properties we've been in - the lobby is modern and clean in design, the hallways are all inside, and the rooms look very... More

Our experience at the Residence Inn, Portland was a very good one. To start I jokingly asked for an upgrade to a water view room, and the lady at the front desk surprisingly said "no problem." Our room was large and very clean. The view of the boats coming in and out was great. The pool and hot tub are... More

I stayed here with friends for a mini reunion. The room was lovely and very clean. The "off site" garage is right next door and we were in and out each day. I didn't find that to be a problem. There was a shuttle service that was amazing. When we went out to dinner the van was right there at... More

Enjoyed my 2 night stay. Plus - tastefully decorated room, minimally obstructed water views, friendly staff, special shout out to the sexy bartender. Cons - offsite parking (public garage across the street). Minimal food service on site - must eat at $$$ area restaurants,, depending on which way you turn you can quickt end up in a dodgy neighborhood. All... More

I stayed here for 2 weeks while on business. If you travel a lot for business, it's a nice refresher to have a hotel room with a kitchen, especially if you prefer to stay in once in awhile. There's also a Whole Foods nearby, so you can stock up on snacks. Aside from that, it's in a very nice location... More

Very friendly hotel with nice rooms and a good location on the waterfront downtown. We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite with a full kitchen and living-dining room. For a family of four this was a great setup for both function and privacy and it was more economical than 2 basic rooms. Nice breakfast and also a afternoon... More

The rooms are clean and spacious, with nice views of the (rather industrial) waterfront. The hotel is a little off the main part of downtown but is easily walkable (15 minutes gets you to the far end). I gave an extra star for the staff who were very helpful and friendly (check-in and out were fast and a forgotten toothbrush... More
