Portland Regency Hotel & Spa
There was an unadvertised parking charge which was not included. Cleanliness was a little lacking. No hot tub or pool- and for a "nice" hotel it wasn't as nice as we'd hoped.

Portland Harbor Hotel
Pet friendly but the fee is $100 per night - a little steep. Great staff!
