Very nice ammenities...but sad there was no hot tub. And the pool is seasonal only. :o(

There were three to our room. It was very spacious and very clean. the service was excellent and it was Quiet.

The hotel is very easy to get to via MAX rail from the airport and downtown and is in the free zone if you are going downtown from the hotel. The front desk girls are very nice and welcoming. As a Diamond member I received upgrades on both my stays but only after asking which is annoying as Hilton Honors now gives Diamonds upgrades including suites. After I stayed the first time on Jan 21 I cancelled my reservation downtown for 2 weeks later and re-booked it to the Doubletree. This is now my go to hotel in Portland as long as the prices are cheaper than comparable hotels downtown.

The entry was pretty easy, nice check-in, no hassle etc. and free cookies! Yay!

The few things I didn't like was the size how everything felt so cramp and dark in the room regardless of all the lights turned on. Also, there was no mini-fridge nor microwave, both of which we had to call in to reception and have them deliver. They were pretty nice about it so it was ok. However, with the already cramped room, they just dumped both the microwave and mini-fridge on the desks which annoyed me, rendering the desks useless. (The small round desk and the big desk)

As a smoker, I was a bit annoyed that I had to pay extra $20 a night for a room of the same size with an extended extremely minuscule balcony, so I told them nevermind and went down in the freezing cold open whenever I needed a smoke.


Also...for such a fancy hotel...I wish they had a bathtub in the room. =\

The location was perfect, nothing was broken, everything was clean, good customer service and aside from the above mentioned dismissible rants, it was overall a good peaceful stay (except for bumping into some bothersome drunks at the lobby)
