Portland Regency Hotel & Spa
Was put here by Expedia due to an error with another hotel. Promised a great room with just as good of a view as I would have had at the other hotel (Hilton Garden Inn). Got a wonderful view of a parking garage and the valet parking lot. Awesome.

Portland Harbor Hotel
I stayed with 2 colleagues overnight for a business trip. The staff was superb. Roman and Hannah helped accommodate a means for us to work on our project while at the hotel. So grateful for their kindness. The rooms were well appointed and the lobby cozy with a fire.
