I'm a frequent traveler to Portland & have found the Paramount the best value. It's a newer hotel w/ a beautifully decorated lobby. The room was plenty big, clean, & had a nice view. Not sure that the price is fair in general but if you can get an internet deal, it's a great value. It's within walking distance of some nice restaurants & bars.

Very helpful front desk staff, attractive lobby and room, many restaurant/bar options, great location for Art Museum.
Great location, close to shopping, sights, transportation. I've never stayed at a 4 star hotel with such terrible beds! They were the equivalent to Motel 6 beds....and I think that's being generous. Other than that, the stay was extremely average. The hotel staff were somewhat friendly, but didn't go out of their way to provide good service. I would love to stay again because of the location, but won't due to the back spasms incurred while staying there.
While clean and fully functional, this hotel is not 4-star. It is in need of an overhaul. The room fixtures and decor are standard fare for a Holiday Inn type hotel.. ok that is a little harsh. It is one step above a Holiday Inn. But for 4-star, I think of the newly remodeled Hyatt. Modern, clean (no rust stains!) and better amenities.
One huge plus: the hotel staff are wonderful. Ask for a coupon to the restaurant around the corner (SouthPark?); the concierge likely has them. The restaurant is a great starting (or ending) off point for your day, and has really good food and tasty cocktails.
The staff was friendly, rooms were clean, and the location was convenient. Breakfast at the restaurant was great. There was some construction taking place directly across from the Hotel but work didn't begin early enough to disturb me. My room had a jetted bath tub, but the water only got lukewarm, making a soak less than perfection. Otherwise, absolutely no complaints!
I booked two deluxe rooms through Expedia for a great price($125/night on the weekend) and was very pleased. The rooms were large and very clean. Beds were quite comfortable and the bathroom large and well-lit. The location is outstanding - right in the main downtown area and just a couple of blocks from MAX and streetcar lines. Although there is a huge excavation/construction project going
on immediately across the street, we weren't bothered by noise at all (room was on the 9th floor). Valet parking is a bit steep at $25/night but that is par for the course in downtown Portland. Did not try the restaurant (sushi) or room service. Staff was very friendly and helpful except for the concierge, who was never at his post and when we did track him down, gave us some erroneous information about the shuttle at Washington Park that caused us a wasted MAX trip. Other than that, an excellent hotel experience.
