Top Southwest Portland Hotel Reviews

Dossier Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved this hotel, from the staff to the room it was a chic visit to a time where customer service truly mattered. Highly reccommended."

University Place Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"We appreciated how easy it was to get a reservation the day before through Expedia. We appreciated the price. The room was impeccably clean. Everything worked. It was quiet, and we slept. We had a full breakfast. Public transportation took us there. We received conflicting instructions from two employees about how to get to the airport using public transport. One was an evening employee, and the other was a morning employee. We ended up using a Lyft. Nevertheless, I recommend the University Hotel & Conference Center."

Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and excellent service. The rooms were very clean, the valet was fast, and the staff was extremely attentive. The only minor critique is that the front desk could do a better job pointing out the complimentary breakfast at check-in. The lobby is small, and the restaurant located down the hallway is easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. Overall, though, a solid experience and great hospitality!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very nice. We had our dog, and she was given a bed and a bowl. The only negative was there was not a place for her to use the bathroom nearby. We had to walk quite a distance to find a grassy area. The other negative is that was the very expensive parking option."
