DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland
The hotel lobby is great! The room was clean and comfortable. If I want to be picky, I can say that the fitted sheet had a little hole , and the bottom drawer of the credenza wasn’t latching and kept opening.which could be a hazard. Both things, easy fix and did not affect my experience

We loved the large King suite. The complementary Happy Hour wine was lovely and the coffee was delicious. All staff were very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was great - walking distance to many shops, restaurants and the river walk. We will definitely be back!
