    Another great stay at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront
    I have stayed at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront many times over the last couple years. I always enjoy staying here because the room quality is what you would expect from Marriott. The location is also great if you want to walk along the waterfront or walk into town for dinner. This location also has a nice restaurant “Proof Reader” for those that want to stay in. For those Marriott Bonvoy members that get access to the concierge lounge, this location has one of the best M clubs I have been to. The offerings for breakfast and dinner are much greater than most. For those that like to get a workout in while traveling, like I do, will find an on-site gym with more than the basics. The gym at this Marriott has some basic cardio equipment, dumbbells up to 50 lbs, a multifunctional cable machine, and machines for legs, chest, & back. They also have an area where you can do abs, yoga, or stretch. If you visit the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront I’m sure you will be more than satisfied and hopefully you get a great view like I did. Safe travels, Steve

    Wonderful Location
    This hotel is very centrally located near the river and to downtown hotspots. All are in walking distance. Take a walk by the river in the morning and then visit the brewery district in the evening and never check your car out of the parking lot. Woke up one morning to a clear beautiful sky looking out at Mt Hood - gorgeous! The next morning we were socked in watching the dragon boats row in the fog. Staff was on par...friendly and helpful. Would stay here again!

    Great View!
    This hotel was just right for our stay. We had a room with a beautiful river view, and there were clear skies with a view of Mt. Hood. The room itself was very comfortable and I slept great here. The location is well suited to walk or catch the light rail around the City Center. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wished the hotel had better breakfast options, since we had much better breakfast options at a different Marriott property on this trip.

Kudos to Grace from the Front Desk for truly creating a remarkable experience for our friends who were staying there as they embarked on a dream cycling trip with Trek! We wanted to set up some bubbles in the room to congratulate them at the start of the trip, and Grace truly went the extra mile and made it happen (and on a very short time line too!). This really made a positive impact and her efforts are most appreciated - thank you Grace!!

Have avoided downtown PDX for the last couple years due to the street issues and crime, unsure of this visit but was happy to find even the park across the street was in good condition. From the valet to Molly at the front desk to the team serving food this has been one of the best Marriott experiences I’ve had in a while. Thank you team for making this a destination to return too! Great job!! Hope some of the other hotel properties in Portland and in Oregon model your operations!

We stayed here for two nights. The location is good if you want to be downtown, although there's not much of interest in the immediate neighborhood. But we were upgraded to a room with a water view, and that was wonderful--truly gorgeous views of the river and the mountain. The room itself is a bit on the small side, especially the bathroom, and it's clearly an older property although the decor has been updated. Everything was clean and comfortable, and noise levels were surprisingly low. The AC was annoying, though--it either blasted the room to Arctic levels or was off. All of the staff were very friendly. We were offered water bottles at check-in, a nice touch. The breakfast place is good for a quick bite and the bar/restaurant isn't bad. They do charge a $25/day "destination fee," but at least you get some value for it: a $25/day food credit, whiskey tasting, art museum tickets, and some other things.

We had a very pleasant experience as we always do . The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and treat you with respect. Terry the bartender is absolutely fantastic!! He remembered us from years ago, and he has not changed . What a tremendous asset he is to your staff . He even took the time to talk with me for about 10 minutes even though the bar was busy with festival goers !! Needless to say we will be back when we come to Portland!!

The service at the hotel makes it shine. We spent one night for a conference here. I was here with my 13 year old son. It felt like 2 days because they were super accommodating when we checked in at 10am. They gave us a room right away which was immensely appreciated because I had a conference call starting at 10am! I didn’t pay for a river view but they ended up giving us one. They also graciously arranged for us to have a late check out at 1pm for the next day. They offered us a free water when I mentioned planning to tour the city for the day. We walked to Mother’s restaurant at night and to Powell’s books. They are both about a 20-25 minute walk away. The hotel also has a great little breakfast cafe that’s great for lunch too. The bar looks nice but didn’t have a chance to have a drink. They have a gym but didn’t try it. No pool. I would definitely stay here again.

This review may be slightly biased given how much I love Portland, OR, however, I must admit my most recent stay surpass all expectations. We stayed four nights and we were lucky enough to have a room with a view. It was truly amazing looking over the river and Mt. Hood. The weather was spectacular which made the view even better. The hotel itself is great and the staff is attentive and courteous but what really made a difference was our experience at the M Club. Alex, the bartender and lounge concierge was top notch. The night he was on duty, we saw him taking care of the lounge demands all by himself. It was a busy space and he looked in control of it and took the time to be courteous to everyone. On a personal note, he was extremely kind to my mother who traveled to Oregon for the first time. He was kind, professional and genuine. This is my fourth time choosing Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront and it's a no-brainer when visiting such beautiful city. It was truly outstanding.

We recently spent 3 days at the Marriott and were quite pleased. We had a bit of a mixup when we first checked in but it was taken care of quickly and to our satisfaction. The hotel is easy to access from I5 north and has their own parking garage. Our room had a river view (which I recommend) and a small balcony. We also had access to the M club, which was definitely worth the extra fee. The room was quiet and clean and room service was very good. The staff was thoroughly professional, efficient and nice. The only problems we had involved a couple of issues with the fixtures in the room and were quickly addressed. We also enjoyed a daily walk along the lovely park which stretches for miles along the river.

Front desk really great, shame the bar tender wasn’t interested in serving me, one of the few people in the restaurant. Made 4 other drinks before helping the one person sitting at the bar, seemed more interested in talking with the servers. I wanted to eat but if it takes 10m to get a drink, how bad is the food service going to be?

Rooms were cozy with terrific views, both night and day. Comfy beds, coffee maker was well used by us. Bathroom was small as rooms go but hot water came quickly and there was plenty of counter space but no makeup mirror. Downside: not close to public transportation and multi block walk to major downtown areas. Uber needed for most tourist attractions
