Top Southwest Portland Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown

8/10 Good

"The property is very conveniently placed right next to Chinatown which means you can walk through it with so many shops to see and places to eat. I will say parking there is very difficult and the charge for parking is a little high in my opinion. The staff was nice but seemed frustrated with how busy they were. Breakfast says is included but its very basic consisting of juice, water, donuts, pastries and some fruit. I would honestly recommend walking to any of the nearby breakfast restaurants. The hotel is nice and well kept but it does seem little old. The rooms are super small and my wife and I found ourselves with little space especially in the bathroom. The shower in the bathroom is fairly open so you risk wetting everything which is a bit of a hassle. Other than that it was safe to be there and safe to walk around. Also a HUGE bonus for me is that they are pet friendly."
