For the price it is a great deal if you need a little extra room. We booked the 2bd 2bth unit and we enjoyed having the extra bathroom. The hotel could use a face lift and I am picky when it comes to cleanliness (could have been cleaner). We used the shuttle to the airport which was a nice but it is about a 15 min ride.

This hotel offers an airport shuttle and is within walking distance to the Expo center. Lots of options for breakfast in the morning. I stayed over a weekend and did not have a chance to try their meals at night. Full kitchen and very comfortable rooms. Very friendly staff and a great shuttle driver.

I want to preface this review by saying that holidays and opinions of hotels are very personal, what I like about a hotel may not appeal to someone else. My reviews try to be objective.

I needed to stay in Portland for 3 nights, the location wasn't important as I had a car (which is needed for this hotel).

The hotel itself is set among other Marriott properties on North Anchor Way, quite difficult to find if you don't have GPS.

Although we arrived late, check-in was quick and courteous. I had a 1 bedroom suite on the 2nd floor. The suites have a separate living area with sofa-bed, TV and kitchenette with dish washer, coffee maker, 2 ring hob and fridge freezer. Coffee is supplied which is replenished each day but no fresh milk. There is a Target and Safeway nearby for supplies or the hotel can get them delivered if you need. Also in the room is an iron and ironing board, hairdryer and shampoo, conditioner and soap. In the bedroom is a double bed, wardrobe and TV. They only seem to change the sheets once per stay if you are short term, but not a problem.

Breakfast is served 0630 to 0930 each weekday and also at weekends. Hot food and cereals, yoghurt, waffles etc are available. However you need to eat off paper plates and use plastic utensils, same for dinner also (didn't eat dinner here but saw other people doing so).

There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance, a Pizza one is the closest, others are about 20 mins walk on Jentzen island.

So, what lets it down?

Firstly, the internet. I needed the internet for working and it was very unreliable, constantly dropping signal.

Secondly, the noise. As other people have mentioned, this is quite a noisy hotel. You can hear people walking and talking above and below you and noise from toilets being lfushed etc.

Thirdly, although they supply soap etc, there is no shower gel supplied. Personal preference but there you go.

Finally, there was a used roast chicken box left on the balcony for the duration I was there. Maybe I should have said something to reception to get housekeeping to move it, but I just wanted to see if they would, even if the curtains were left open for them to see it. It wasn't.

So, because of these things, I give this property a score of 3. The beds are comfortable and the rooms clean and comfortable, the staff are friendly and the breakfast is reasonably good.

My husband and I spent a week at this hotel while water damage in our home was remediated. The one-bedroom suite was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equiped. (The dishwasher, however, is NOISY!) Sadly, the "fireplace" in the corner was purely decorative, lacking any controls. Lighting was good, which is a plus for any hotel nowadays. Breakfast was a bit better than the usual business hotel offerings, but evening snacks were heavy on salt and fat. Being a Portland resident, I was surprised that the hotel didn't offer recycling services. Free newspapers and free drinks in aluminum cans were readily available, but no recycling stations. And this in a city that now has residential food waste recycling! That being said, we won't hesitate to return when the repairs begin; we can always bring our recyclables home with us!
