DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland
The hotel lobby is great! The room was clean and comfortable. If I want to be picky, I can say that the fitted sheet had a little hole , and the bottom drawer of the credenza wasn’t latching and kept opening.which could be a hazard. Both things, easy fix and did not affect my experience
