“Great Hotel for families”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Hands down this hotel is the best we have stayed at in the portland area.
We visit Portland probably 5 times a year (from canada) as we love the mall and use it as a gateway to fly from (way cheaper than canada).

We decided to bring our family (wife and 2 children under 4) to go shopping on MLK weekend. The staff is friendly and handled every request politely and quickly.

We were very impressed with the breakfast and the kids loved picking out their own food.

My fav thing about this hotel without a doubt is the comfort of the beds. I do not usually sleep well in hotels and often find the pillows to be way to soft. Something I was seriously impressed with is that they have a firm and soft pillow on the bed (labelled). This combined with the bed made it one of the best sleep experiences I have ever had in a hotel.

I dont like to give out 5 star reviews unless a place is truly worthy and I was racking my brain to see if I could remember anything negative. I couldn't.

Before this we always stayed at the marriott Fairfield in. This is hands down a thousand times nicer and more comfy than the marriott. Will be staying here from now on. Thanks guys!

“This will now be our go to hotel for weekend trips to Portland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

We went on a weekend shopping trip and this hotel more than accommodated our needs to be close to the mall, have a pool, and complementary breakfast. The first night we asked for a portable crib and had it within 5 minutes, and then we called for sheets for the pullout sofa and got those just as quickly. Also the light burned out in the bathroom while we were in the room and it was changed within 10 minutes. The staff have been very pleasant and are very willing to help.

Room Tip: Ask to be on the opposite side as the highway if you are sensitive to noise, although that being sai...

“Better than most Holiday Inns”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

I stayed for a few nights, while the hotel had only a few bookings, on the fourth floor.

Pros - The room was clean, had quality newish furnishings, with a refrig and microwave, and was fairly large. My room was in good condition with recent updating and was better than most Holiday Inns. The bath tub was large, which is nice.

Cons - Only one internet computer! The pool was in poor condition. Water pressure was poor in my room.

The breakfast area was fine, but might be crowded if the hotel is filled to capacity. The "gym" had a number of treadmills and cycles and a universal machine. No weights.

“Best customer service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011

We have stayed at this hotel several times - rooms are very clean and roomy. Staff is exceptional in customer service. They had us reserved with two double beds and I asked for a king when we arrived - was told 'No problem, let me just adjust this..." And...all with a smile and a friendly attitude. They have a breakfast included, though we just went for coffee and had breakfast at Becky's Diner instead. There is plenty of parking and it's close to the mall and some of the other popular shopping areas (like the Christmas Tree Shops). I'm sure it would be fine for families as well - though I've always only been with my spouse when there.

Room Tip: I've always stayed on the 4th floor and have been comfortable in all areas

“Better than expected...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

Great place. Rooms are more like suites - very roomy. They have mini kitchens (no cook stoves though). We have stayed twice and will definitely go back again when we are in the area.
