Top Southwest Portland Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Will absolutely stay here again - great location, friendly and helpful staff, the gym was nice and had everything we needed. Hotel was right next to bus stops and food carts but most everything we wanted to do or explore was within walking distance."

Hyatt House Portland/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We travelled here on business and the staff was very accommodating. We forgot a necessary item and when asking a staff member where we could walk to in order to purchase the item, she was so accommodating. She asked us to wait a moment, went to the back of the desk, and then provided us with the item we needed. The breakfast was also very nice and with a lot of variety. I would highly recommend staying here."

Dossier Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We came for a girls weekend and had a great stay here. The staff were welcoming and extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were good sized, with spacious bathrooms and comfortable showers. Location is perfect for exploring Portland shopping, markets, museum, and events in the parks. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!"
