Top Southwest Portland Hotel Reviews

Park Lane Suites and Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, great price. Quiet street and well appointed large rooms. Self parking was included which was fantastic for this busy neighborhood. The staff was helpful and cheerful. My biggest complaint is the room could have been a bit cleaner. It wasn’t gross, but felt not quite clean enough. Note that the exercise room only had 3 pieces of cardio equipment in it, no weights. But you are so close to gorgeous trails at Washington park that you’ll want to exercise outdoors!!"

Mark Spencer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super helpful and kind! I stayed here for a solo trip I took for my birthday to Oregon and the staff gave me a room upgrade and some snacks which was so kind! The rooms were very clean and the property was very clean as well. They also offer coffee and tea which was a really nice quick grab and go in the mornings."

The Benson Portland, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I loved being here. The whole place has such a beautiful look, a nice dark moody ambiance. The restaurants in the hotel had tasty food. The bed was very comfortable. It's in the downtown area so you are able to walk to various locations and restaurants. Since it is in the downtown city area, there are homeless individuals around the area but it does not feel unsafe. I enjoyed staying here and would stay again."
