A family of 5 rented 3 rooms for 3 nights. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The hotel is convenient to 3 light rail lines and bus service. Valet parking was speedy and professional. The location was perfect for our itinerary, which included Powell’s (4 blocks), Saturday Market (6 blocks), old Town, Pearl District, and more. Food truck hub with live music is next door. Would definitely recommend.

This hotel was a 3 star until I met Joe, the bartender. Joe made this place a 5 star! It was our first time in Portland when I met Joe at the bar. Joe was an Encyclopedia of Portland, which is exactly what I was looking for! He gave me more recommendations than Google, and made my trip one to remember. The hotel was clean, safe, and in a great location. Definitely recommend this place, but if you want to know Portland, ask for Joe!

I'll keep coming back here, the front desk staff are awesome and very helpful and nice people. The bartenders are great too. This place has great customer service, and the rooms are clean with good views too. Reasonable prices as well. 5 stars

Staffs are very friendly and attentive. My mom was at the coffee machine while I took the luggage to room. She couldn't take the elevator herself due to no room card scan. She was complaining to the front and they gave her an extra room card immediately. Room is very quiet, clean and I asked a lower floor 4th level. The elevator is not crowded. In the morning, big tourist group gathered at the hall and empty the coffee. I told the front staff and quickly get a full bucket of coffee. There's a microwave hide across the water tank. Things not good is the design of the bath room that has the shower, sink, toilet all in one so if one person is using the toilet all other guests can't take shower. My old phone couldn't get wifi automatically and the front desk asked me to manually go to marriotInternet.com (something like this) to connect to wifi. Location is perfect, only 7 mins walk to the Red max light rail that goes to the airport. 7 mins walk to the famous Powell bookstore. to the rose garden it's about $10 by Uber.

Found an old menstrual stain on the bed cover and mattress. Reported to housekeeping who came and left a new pair of sheets. Reported to front desk, and of course the hotel was fully booked (downtown Portland, hahaha). We have now been here 5 nights and housekeeping has yet to as much as leave towels. Unfortunately we are here on business and get back to the room late, only to be told that there's no housekeeping on premises. Will never stay at this location again, literally one of the worst hotel experiences I've had

Overall I would have rated 4+ stars as we had a mostly good experience during our stay. However when I got home I realized I was charged twice for things unrelated to our stay. I was charged $200 for valet parking (we didn’t even have a car with us), and separately we had a $400 charge for the room (though we pre-paid through Expedia). They quickly reversed the parking charge and I’m still working through the room charge refund but this stay cost me an extra $600 that I’m lucky to have noticed on my credit card statement.

Location and the size of my room were the only real highlights of my 4 night stay. The internet was absolutely terrible - and when you need your laptop for work, this is a bit of an issue. ||Although my room was pretty big and had a decent city view, it felt dirty. Dust everywhere, hair on the bathroom floor and shower, yuck.||The shower took a solid 5 minutes to be warm enough to get in and twice the water literally stopped briefly while I was showering - and when it came back on, it was freezing. My sink also was barely draining.||Front desk staff and valet were great, appreciate their quick help with check-in and retrieving my car.||Wouldn’t stay here again.

The hotel was as expected. There is nothing remarkable on either end of the spectrum about the room. The two bad points that deserve to be considered are, 1- Its located in Downtown Portland. The city of Portland is a train wreck that reeks of depression and anger. It's dirty and hostile feeling. Stay away from this place if at all possible. 2, This hotel has horrible parking arrangements. Our car was vandalized in the suggested premium parking facility located near this location. We should have read the parking area reviews before leaving our car because we would have found out that car windows are busted almost every night at this location. In conclusion, stay out of Portland if you can and do not leave your car at the US Bank parking facility this hotel recommends

This is a very nice hotel in the Downtown area. It's about ten minutes front the waterfront and there are many stores and food places close by it (it would have been better if it felt more safe to walk to some of these places). There is only paid parking ($48 per day) here, and the valet ($1.45 per day) will park it for you. This hotel is located in an intersection where is one-way traffic. GPS kept directing me to the wrong side of the building, so that was a big hassle. The room that I booked was great! It was spacious and had good lighting. They even have a pull-out table from under the desk, which was a huge plus for us who needed more tables to use. Usually nobody uses the fitness center, so I took advantage to get some exercise in. There is also free water and coffee in the lobby area. Very nice employees and valet in the lobby.

My go to for the past 12 years when I come to Portland. Located walking distance from Voodoo doughnuts, Pioneer Square and steps away from the recently renovated Midtown Beer Garden. Daily rates are reasonable and overnight parking is slightly cheaper than other hotels nearby. The only downer is that they closed the Starbucks which used to be across from the hotel due to the Homeless issue.

This Courtyard is conveniently located in the downtown core and close to many landmarks, restaurant and bars. The front lobby is located on the first floor and there are elevators to take you to your rooms. The Hotel has Valet parking which is speedy and efficient or you can risk public parking near the hotel. Checking in was quick and I got my rooms keys fairly quickly. The rooms are on the smaller size, so look for suites if you need space. The room was clean, the bathroom spotless and bed was very comfortable. The wifi in the room worked very well. I did find the area where the desk is to be cramped as it is squeezed right up beside the dresser and TV stand. The fitness center was quite large and had enough equipment to get in a good workout. It was not busy at any of the times I used it. I did not use any of the food services offered at the hotel as I was out most of the day and dined out for all of my meals. Overall a great stay in a conveniently located hotel, and priced as most downtown hotels are. I had no issues with staff, guests or any of the hotel amenities.

The major plus about this hotel is the location. It's right next to everything that we like to do in Downtown Portland. Other than that it's very basic. I'm Marriott Gold and I'm supposed to get free room upgrades when available. It was a Wednesday and nobody was even at the hotel when we checked in. I did not receive this upgrade when I asked The front desk rep with short hair and bad skin had no personality and basically just got us checked in as fast as possible. Poor Marriott customer service. Valet was efficient but expensive for an average hotel. Spend a little more money and stay somewhere better.

Stayed here pre-Covid so decided to stay here again post Covid since we loved the location. We were able to walk to most places. Let's start off with the pro's. Location is great, staff is very friendly, attentive and super helpful. They really exemplify great service. They have lots of seating in the lobby with a PacMan machine to keep Is entertained and have restaurant/bar within the hotel. Rooms are clean and comfy. Room has a fridge and coffee maker but wish it had a microwave. Now for the cons like most of Portland the homeless situation is more and more prominent especially around the hotel but the hotel does take this seriously with a security guard, locked lobby doors after hours and restricted elevator access. They only have valet parking for $48 day but the valet was prompt and attendants were always so friendly. I would definitely stay here again because the staff!!!

We booked a single room with two queens for Friday night arrival and a Sunday departure. Our reservation was canceled for no reason and we were not notified at all. We instead were given a queen bed and a pull out couch room. Parking here is less than desirable and so you have to valet, $48+ a night. The breakfast was not included so we went elsewhere. The staff was at least pleasant.

On our trip to the PNW, we stayed at three different hotels in Portland and Seattle, and this hotel was our favorite of the three! The location was amazing for our style of travel with lots of awesome restaurants and cool bars within walking distance. Our favorite eatery near the hotel was Portland Burger, just a quick 5 to 10-minute walk away, and some of the best burgers and shakes we've ever had! The staff was very nice and helpful when we stumbled in, tired from our train ride from Seattle, and asked where to eat. They gave us several recommendations (they were the ones that told us about Portland Burger!) and gave us great directions too so we didn't get lost in our sleepy haze. In addition to the great dining recommendations, there is also a wonderful restaurant on-site at the hotel as well, The Original Dinerant. They were open late, so we popped in for late-night chicken and waffles more than once. Location-wise, this property was also great to be as close as we were to the interstate, as we wanted to go explore some days (we hit Cannon Beach and Mount Hood!) The property was very nice and clean, with lots of cute kitschy touches to keep with the Portland style. My favorite part of the décor was the giant Portland sign in the lobby and the cute bright colors used in the furnishings and designs. Our room was HUGE and great for the few days we spent there, with a separate adorable little sitting area, a desk to work at, a cute armoire/huge closet, and a giant comfy bed. The bathroom was very nice and modern, and best of all - super clean! Overall, our trip was planned to be all about exploring the local area and the amazing food - and this hotel, the staff, and the location made the overall experience a 10 out of 10!

I liked the look of the hotel room. The room was designed well with colorful accents, and was given a high floor 12. Amenities I would have liked to include: - Wireless Speaker - Smart TV The building was also visually appealing inside, with a restaurant/ bar connected on the side, and small, clean lobby. The team was kind and approachable. They gave me a couple recommendations of local businesses to visit. The reason for the low score was the neighborhood & experience we had with a homeless woman in the hotel. This hotel does not require badge entrance all day, or have a security agent stationed at the entrance 24/7. For this part of town is a necessity. On the first morning of our stay, my friend was followed to the 12th floor by a homeless woman that had been hanging out in the lobby. Everyone failed to realize she was not a guest. This is how she was able to be in the lobby and follow my friend to the the elevator. While in the elevator my friend noticed an odor coming from the lady. This is how she realized she was in danger. When she reached the 12th floor the woman was going to try and follow my friend, but my friend confronted her which scared the lady to run down the hall way. My friend then called Guest Services and they sent someone up to escort this woman out of the building. Issue was resolved in ~30 Minutes. The hotel did nothing to recover the experience.

Upon checking in the staff was nice. When we entered the room it was spacious and the beds are comfy. The restroom does look a little outdated for being Marriott. My sink was clogged which I thought was weird.Parking here is ridiculous. They only have valet parking and there is street parking but I would park at your own risk due to the amount of homeless in the area. They lock the doors early and you have to scan in to get in.We were told cars get broken into here and that the homeless people are ruthless.

Closed the Cafe on us at 10:40, saying it closes at 10:45, and it's advertised to close at 11. Would not recommend if you like to plan around advertised closing times.

The staff here was super great. One lady from the front desk helped me carry a pack of 36 bottles to the 7th floor since there was no cart around. Very sweet of her. The facility and room was nice and clean. Used the laundry, only cost $1.00 (take quarters only), what a deal.

It's old and in dire need of updating. It's also difficult to get into given its location. The valets were not helpful. The hotel does not offer any streaming services, so it's like a trip to the 1990s. I was there about 10 minutes before I had them cancel my reservation and I moved to a different Marriott property.

I recently stayed at this hotel in downtown and was pleased with its convenient location near several food pods and public transportation. However, the construction and vagrant issues in the area were a bit of a drawback. The hotel's gym was fairly big and had a decent selection of machines and weights, and it was well-maintained with fresh towels and wipes. The only downside was that there was no self-parking on site. Overall, it's a decent hotel in a convenient location, but be prepared for some challenges in the area.

After getting home from our previous visit in June, we found out that we had inadvertently stayed in a rough part of downtown Portland. Imagine our curiosity...how had we missed the signs? We returned this past weekend with a new lens. With that lens we noticed neighborhood activity that we'd "ignored" before. It was loud, messy, and sometimes aggressive. Still, nobody bothered us. We were two women alone, coming and going at all hours of the day and night with luggage, shopping bags, and take-out. We felt just fine applying the basic rule of city street survival: Act like you know where you are and where you're going. Hotel staff was as dedicated as before. We felt taken care of and safe in their hands. This is officially our hotel in Portland now.

I led a group of 45 people on a tour of the Electric Railroaders' Association. Yumiko Johnson who heads in-hotel experiences did an outstanding job of hosting us and addressing a few minor startup issues. We had an evening meeting one night and a banquet the second night. Their meeting room and catering services were beyond comparison and equivalent to a 5-star hotel with 3/4-star prices. Detailed comments are below. This hotel is outstanding in handling small to medium size groups such as ours. We rarely book the same hotel twice with this one being a significant exception. Nearby activities The hotel is right across the street from the rooftop iconic Portland City Grill, near the cozy Grits 'n Gravy Restaurant, a short walk to Jake's Famous Crawfish and a short walk to Portland's famous Downtown Food Truck Square. Walkability The hotel is right in the middle of Downtown Portland, with light rail within a two minute walk so access to the entire metro area. Easy walk to all downtown activities. Food & drinks There is an in-house restaurant with an excellent breakfast menu and a more basic dinner menu. There were initial problems with timely breakfast service but once informed, the restaurant was staffed up and service was fine.

Front desk and valet workers were extremely nice and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Water pressure was good. Location is a bit hard to find via GPS and generally, I don't feel super comfortable in downtown Portland when it's dark, and the location of this property didn't help that. Room surfaces weren't very clean (desk, counter, headboard, nightstand, light switch). I do travel with Clorox wipes so gave the room a good wipe down and had to use an entire pack on my room, as the wipes were lifting dirt and gunk. There was also pounding on my door at midnight one night. Wouldn't stay here again.

It's time to update these reviews. This place is dated. Our room smelled like urine and was quite loud with all the homeless issues happening in Portland. We woke up most days hearing people screaming outside. We valet parked for $50 a day because we heard not to leave our car on the streets and they're majorly taking advantage of people with parking here. The bathroom was dirty with stains on the walls and it smelled like old urine. Overall this hotel used to be nice, but needs help. They also only clean your room everything third day. Someone needs to tell them the world is operating differently again. Make sure if you want your car (if you're in a hurry) call them to make sure they read the texts. I stay at a LOT of marriotts and I probably would skip this one although at one point it used to be so much nicer.

A hidden gem in which I have been coming here on business for the last 10 years with this review long overdue. Front desk and Valet Attendants have always been friendly, courteous and cheerful. A special shout out to Tamara who during my visit last week was working a double on one of the days and I joked with her as on my 2nd night I was out the door at 0430 hours to visit a client and she was still at the Front Desk covering for another team member. Located close to all my favorite eating spots downtown and the Pearl District and despite the 95F heat walked to and from rather than taking my rental car or hailing a ride share. Rooms are typical but perhaps a tich smaller due to the floor plan of this property. Upon arrival, I was told that due to my Elite status I could have opted for a larger room however, the room that they had which was smaller had a better view and was not concerned about the size as I had stayed here before and knew what the room layouts were like. Keep in mind you will need to use your key card to access your particular floor unlike other Courtyards. this has always been the standard here but I surmise it is due to the fact that there have always been homeless folks in the area. Valet parking is the only option at $48/night unless you want to self park off property.

Room is updated and nice. Unfortunately, my son was accosted by a homeless persons dog while we walked to the nearby train stop. Evidently, me pushing the dog off my son makes me the @ss$07!. Very unpleasant altercation. Hotel is fine, that area of Portland is not.

We stay at this hotel every time we travel to Portland for a perfect room, with a nice view and always, always ultra clean, quiet with a comfy bed except for the hard pillows this stay. It's a good value price-wise though. Front staff is stellar; both friendly & professional. The bad part, and it is certainly not this hotel's fault; the homeless outside the hotel & around this gorgeous city. What a shame that state leaders (in CA & OR) can't agree on a solution. It's sad to see. Everywhere. But we love Portland and will always support the businesses that continue to struggle onward. One can hope it can regain its shine once again. If you need a nice place in the city to stay, highly recommend the Marriott Courtyard. Valet parking is $48 per night, typical for downtown Portland; car is protected in basement parking. Worth it.

COVID traveling. Called ahead for a room connection and bring my companion pet. They were able to get that into the system and honor at check in. $50 one time per fee. Complete a form at check in. Staff was very supportive and friendly during our stay. Had a few concerns with plumbing in the 218 bathroom. With limited interaction it was addressed well. Rooms were neat and clean. Loved the wrapped remote. The overall hotel was quite and located in a good area for walking and exploring the area. 2-3 blocks from the mall, food trucks and great restaurants. There is however an active homeless community in the area as well.

Staff checking in was very nice checking in, Upon checking out - no staff to be found, off duty security had to call for staff. Once staff arrived, he was very hostile to me and my wife, i noticed a open beer in the food area. Staff was belligerent and continued to scream things at us since he thought we called him retarded. Would not recommend on the weekend.

We have been treated so exceptionally well each time we've stayed here I must say they are accommodating, professional, and great at their jobs. We have enjoyed every stay here and appreciate the great service we receive. We now stay nowhere else when we come to Portland.

We had a ten night stay with our dog in tow. Long time for two kids and a dog to be cooped up indoors so there was definitely a lot of walking around downtown! There are several yummy food trucks around the corner, definitely walkable to multiple restaurants (including the Portland City Grill and Grits n' Gravy). A lot of people complain about the homeless population here. There are a lot, a lot of trash, but I never felt unsafe. The staff at the Courtyard were always polite, helpful, and seemed genuinely happy to have guests checking in. Plan to valet your car (in and out included) because there is no parking. We ran in to a few hiccups and I won't even mention them here because as soon as I brought it up to staff they went above and beyond in order to accommodate us and remedy the problems. WHEN we come back I'll definitely book here again. (PS the breakfast is only served till 12noon).

The hotel is strangely located between what seems to be dead or dying office buildings, so the view is weirdly vacant or deserted. But the hotel itself is quiet, modern, relevant, comfortable, and warm. We'll be back, but won't expect breathtaking views.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights during our visit to Portland. I was a little apprehensive coming to Portland due to the past riots and current increase in the homeless population. My friend wanted me to have some peace of mind so he called the hotel and spoke to Katie. Big shoutout to Katie for giving us reassurance that we would be okay. She also gave us some wonderful recommendations on places to eat and visit. The staff here were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms and bathroom were very clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. There is a safe, small coffee maker, hair dryer, iron/iron board, and a small fridge. No microwave in the room but there is one in the area where they have their vending machines. For parking they have valet for $45 a day with in and out privileges. I recommend using one of parking garages to save some money. It's no more than a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel itself is nice but the surrounding area was run down, smelly, not lively as I thought it would be, and lots of homeless people. Not the hotels fault but just throwing it out there. In the end, my friend and I survived. I have no regrets staying in this part of town. We had lots of fun! Just probably in the future if I ever come back, I'd stay in a different area.

This is a nice property with very friendly staff. Pretty much what you'd expect from a Courtyard- no more, no less. I recommend researching street parking and nearby lots before spending $45/day on valet parking. You can pay for most of the nearby private lots via the Reef app and it's a breeze to see how much time you have remaining and to extend.

Yelp
The hotel was fine. Beds are comfortable and the people were nice. HOWEVER, parking is valet only at $49/day. The valet company that they use damaged our car and refused to take responsibility for it. We filed a claim with them and it took them 20 days to send an email denying any kind of responsibility. Don't stay here if you value your car.

My husband was staying here a few days before I came into town as he had business meetings while visiting Portland. I arrived at the hotel on Wednesday to meet up with husband and we both left Portland on Sunday. It was hit or miss during our hotel stay if the maid would show up to clean our rooms. We came back from an evening out and had to call the front desk for at least some fresh towels one night as the room was never touched. We also had to call and get the shower gel refilled inside the shower as it was missed on the one day we did get the room cleaned without asking. Our rooms keys every morning would be deactivated and we would have to go back to the front desk to get them re-coded in order to open our hotel door. Note the rooms keys were both in separate areas where it shouldn't have been deactivated easily or every day during our stay. The bed was decent and we got extra pillows for sleeping. The shower had also descent pressure. Not the best in my standards for a Marriott due to the other issues we had during our stay that I mentioned in the above paragraph. Note: This location is attached to a greasy spoon type of diner called The Original. We had breakfast there once and it was okay. There is plenty of other great options within walking distance and centrally located.

Great place, great service, great food. Convenient location for downtowners, the homeless problem isn't great, but looks like getting better

BEWARE OF PARKING! got to make that very clear on this review haha. You have 3 options. 1 of which they may not tell you about. 1) you can pay $25 a day to park yourself BUT you cannot constantly enter and go out. So you got to be wise about that 2) pay $45 a night for your car anytime 3) park on the street. Free from 7pm-6am? something like that. I do not remember. We opted for option 3 because I was not going to essentially pay another room for someone to park my car lol. Pet fee is $50 total for 2 pets for a week (i THINK) something like that. Nonetheless. The rooms are nice, the service was phenomenal. No complaints in that sense AT ALL. very welcoming people The location was also OK.2 blocks down you have a lot of homelessness and sometimes there is people who will approach you suddenly. Whether that is an issue to you, that is up to your discretion. We don't judge anybody but when traevling with minors it could be a little worrying because we would get approached very suddenly at times haha. I guess. Being from Los Angeles, we see that a lot and it is not THAT big a deal but again, with minors it can be something you think about. I just really disliked the parking issue and it really sucks. Other than that, if you are trying to stay near old town then this is a good option. Check them out and then follow us on our travels on intsagram @thehungrynomadz

The hotel itself, front desk staff, restaurant, and rooms are awesome. The price was great for all that. Really impressed with the size of the room, the bathroom, the décor, the amenities, quality, look/feel, service, etc. That was the highlight of my stay, and if this hotel were located somewhere else, I'd come here every time. That said, the location of the hotel being in the worst of downtown Portland, coupled with ridiculous (literally, jaw dropping stunning) parking challenges, makes this a no-go for a recommendation. It's hard to believe they have no parking structure, and must only use valet ($20/day) or (unsafe) street parking. Even getting to the hotel is difficult because so many streets nearby are closed. As I was driving around trying to find a garage or lot, I called and asked how/where I was supposed to park, and was told it was just valet, and to find any spot in front and double park (which I did). I actually had to park in a bus stop, left my blinkers on, and gave my key to the valet. 45 minutes later, I could still see my vehicle on the street from my 10th floor room, so I went down to the valet and expressed my concern that I was going to either get a ticket or get towed. He said he was very overworked, had started his shift at 2pm (it was 11pm at this time), hadn't had lunch or a break, that the parking was almost at capacity, and he "hoped" he would get to it later. While I was talking to him, two other guests interrupted (presumably with the same concern) and decided to park on the street and risk it. 20 minutes later, my vehicle did finally get parked. In the morning, one of my antennas was snapped off and sitting on my front seat. Par for the course... (Other reviews mention this: where they park the cars is extremely low, so my roof-mounted antenna was literally snapped off.) I wish I had known how bad the parking situation was beforehand, because I would never have chosen this place. It's a shame too, since the hotel and room were awesome. If you're taking a taxi or ride share to the hotel, and don't intend to go out, then this is a winner. If you have a vehicle of any kind, don't even bother. It's an exercise in frustration and annoyance. In the daytime, it might be doable to walk around and explore a bit, but I don't think night is the best, especially given the number of dark streets.

Most awesome location. They were cool with me checking in at 0730 too. Watered down Stumptown better than no free coffee as well! Room was awesome. New, clean, contemporary, heard no neighbor. Fitness center. Along route for bus mall, close to Max stop, loved it being around corner from Lauretta Jeans and that British breakfast pod ( yum). Awesome hotel. Would most def return. Connected to Original Dinerant as well.

This hotel is in the perfect spot for tourists! My friend and I were so happy with the location everything was walking distance from the Portland Saturday Market, Powell's Books, VooDoo Donuts. We rented a car and realized we didn't need it since everything was close by good choices of restaurants in the vicinity. The room was spacious with 2 queen beds making it really comfortable for 2 people, 4 people could have even shared this room with how big it is. There is an adjacent diner that you can eat at but really just walk out the door and there is a Starbucks across the street and so much more. The hotel itself is very nice and clean. Great downtown location. Shopping is also available with national retailers nearby. There is also a gym in this hotel in case you want to work out. Highly recommend!

Tina (worker at the front desk) was rude both over the phone and in person. Normally I let stuff like that slide, but the double whammy was a bit much. Only giving it 2 stars because the bed was nice and the water was hot. I've stayed at a lot of Marriott's and had family members who worked for the company for over 20 years. Very disappointed with the lack of service. Would've rather stayed at another hotel. Oh parking was another issue. Do not stay here if you want direct access to your car at any time. I asked Tina how the parking was and that's when she gave me the most attitude. I don't mind paying for parking but I can't even go to my car without having to go onto the Main Street in front of all the homeless people watching me. So be very weary of parking!

I'm a fan of Courtyard Marriotts in general, so this branch met my expectations. Courtyard Portland City Center provided the basic amenities my sister and I needed for a comfortable overnight stay. My sister and I had a late arrival around 9:45pm. We were greeted with the most awesome front desk staff members! I didn't catch the name of the woman at the front desk, but the man who assisted us directly was Eberton. They were both personable, hilarious, and really made us feel welcomed. Originally I had booked a King bed, but Eberton was so accommodating by giving us two queen beds for no extra charge. Our room was basic and considerably small, but it was perfect given that my sister and I were barely in the room. I was totally surprised that the hotel uses the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree oil brand for lotion, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. This was much appreciated since I use this brand sometimes at home and trust the quality. Courtyard Portland City Center is conveniently downtown and walking distance to many key locations, such as Powell's Bookstore, Voodoo donuts, Tasty n Alder, Blue Star, etc. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, and breweries nearby as well. I was even able to find a yoga studio that was 6 min away walking distance from the hotel.

Nice hotel, great location, very nice staff, the only downside of the area was due to covid everything was closed and due to the recentó residential elections everything was boarded up, however that wouldn't take any points away from my stay, loved Portland and I would visit again.

The rooms are nice enough -- our sink drain was clogged (we were in the "nicer" suites on floor 15) and the location is within walking distance of most things. The valet, however is terrible. Especially at $44/day. No offer to help with bags, often wasn't there when we returned. We would walk in and the girls at the desk would shrug and not take our key either. Took 30-45 minutes to get our car even during slower times. The elevators were also terrible. We waited often for an elevators (5-10 minutes) as though only 1 was ever on to service all guests on 16 floors. The beds were comfortable and the rooms clean. I might stay there again if nicer options aren't the same price

Awesome staff, from the valet to the front desk, to the housekeeping; my wife forgot a pouch of some jewelry in our room as we were leaving, and it was waiting for us in a sealed bag at the front desk when we came back through town to catch our flight. Great location, nicely renovated inside, close to everything, and reasonably priced to top it all off. Will definitely stay there again next time we're in town, thanks!

this location is great! you're only a few blocks away from the Red line (this is the line you take to and from airport) and there are plenty of bus stops and street car stops around this area. You're always walking distance to anywhere from this hotel. Plenty of restaurants and food trucks around each corner. The hotel staffs are great, checking in and out was a breeze. The room was clean! Only drawback is there are quite a few homeless people around the area but hey, you're in downtown - what do you expect? Other than that, i would stay at this courtyard again in the future. Very convenient. i saw a sign for parking, it's $40 a night (that's expensive). We didn't rent a car, we just walked and took public transportation

Would definitely stay here again. The rate was really reasonable for a last minute booking, especially considering it was 4th of July weekend. They even had a special that included parking, which was a huge savings considering most hotels were charging over $40/night to park. The room was a great size, and the bed was comfy. The staff were all very friendly, and there is a small convenience store in the lobby which comes in handy for midnight munchies. The location was perfect. My husband and I were able to walk most places or take a quick Uber.

We were not impressed especially consider the name and the price paid; we stayed the night before the eclipse, hotel called when we were on the road asking if we were indeed coming, perhaps they were hoping we cancel so the room can be rented for more. When we arrived around 6 pm, the lady who checked us in was very lukewarm and a young man at the entrance who greeted us. The valet parking was full so we had to unload our luggage, quickly bring everything to our room without any porter service while we illegally parked then drove around to find overnight parking. After a long day of driving, we were hoping for better service. To be fair, the room was decent, coffee in the room wasn't good but the morning stumptown coffee in the lobby helped a little; we chuckled about the $5 bottled water. The location is very convenient, we walked around and found good places to eat, in the morning we went to a nearby park and watched the eclipse with hundreds of people which was really cool. Perhaps they were overwhelmed by the demand which negatively impacted the service.

Very nice, great service, didn't try the room service, however, there is no self parking. You can use open lot down the street, parking garage 1 block away, try to find a metered park on the street, or use their valet for $$ with unlimited in/out privileges (that is nice). If it wasn't for parking it would get 5 star. Back view is not that great but it's okay, I came to sleep and go. They give you free wifi w/optional high speed upgrade for about $6. Will definitely come back here if ever I'm in the area.

Was looking for a hotel in the downtown area that would let my dog stay too. Not only did Courtyard Marriot accept pets but also only charged a one time pet fee of $50 for my 3 night stay! They are right next to the food carts (great for a late night snack), very quiet, the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Normal checkout time is 12pm but we asked if we could push it back a bit and the staff were more than happy extend it. The hotel is very clean too, didn't want to forget that. Cannot recommend this hotel more.

Stayed here for about 4 days on recent trip to Portland. Probably the best location that you can ask for in Downtown Portland. Super close to all of the best restaurants, coffee spots, and shops in the downtown area. Also super close to the MAX as well. Hotel itself was really nice and clean and the front desk staff was always very friendly. Sounds like a really positive review, so why not the full 5 star right? Well, there was one small incident. One day during our stay we had bought about a half dozen donuts from Blue Star and we brought them back to the hotel after so we can drop them off and venture out into the city. Keep in mind, we ate about half of each donut so there were definitely plenty of bites left. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, we noticed that the maids actually threw away (or ate) our donuts. Normally I wouldn't really care, but since these were Blue Start donuts, I was pissed. Despite this small incident, I would highly recommend this hotel for the friendly front desk staff and the amazing downtown location.

VACATIONERS BEWARE! We are charged a $250 smoking fee by the manager Katie O. We do not smoke!!!!! AND we actually tried to complain about the smell our concerns were met with a bill rather then an apology. We have been trying to follow up with emails and phone messages but have not received any response. Thanks for ruining our vacation. The ease at which they are willing add charges after the fact is frightening. And the lack of communication gives me the impression that over charging without explanation is standard practice.

Pretty solid downtown hotel. It was $150/night for a standard room with 2 queens. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly, fridge within the room, GOOD WIFI, no pool but there's a fitness center, it's what you'd expect out of a Marriott. There's no lobby bar but there's a take on a modern diner connected to the lobby (donut burgers looked good). Situated in a good downtown location, you're right on the Max green light rail which goes directly to the Moda center. We ubered there for a Warriors vs Blazers game for $10 instead. You're across the street from Starbucks, a food cart pod just around the corner, and walking distance to Voodoo donut. It's $38 to park your car through valet which includes ins and out, there's no self , Otherwise the valet said there's a parking garage down the block. Solid hotel for the price.

Not a typical Courtyard. Room was clean as usual, but getting into this place was not easy. Parking was non existant, which is ok, but the valet at $44 is too much. Also the hotel only had 5 carts for luggage in this wet town, and we had to lug our baggage ourselves. Other guests had kept them in their rooms and none were available. Also the staff was just ok... Just did the minimal required. I would not stay here again.

While in town for a month assisting with Covid vaccines I stayed 29 nights. This place simply cannot be beat especially in the times we are all currently experiencing. The staff went above and beyond and made my time away from home amazing.

Great experience! The staff is exceptional and made our stay in Portland much more enjoyable by offering great tips about local hot spots. They sincerely are what make this hotel great! We felt at home and pampered at the same time. The rooms were clean and modern with all the comforts of home. Their in-house restaurant was exellent, as well! Who doesn't love breakfast in bed with a city view? Stay in a corner room, if possible, the view is worth the extra cash! Nice job Marriot!!! **I would have given them 10 stars, if possible**
