Top Southwest Portland Hotel Reviews

The Duniway Portland A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Duniway was very central to all things we needed for race weekend. The room was comfortable and big. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The parking was super easy and right next to the hotel."

Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center

10/10 Excellent

"It is frustrating to have to use valet and not being able to self park, because it is expensive. But parking in an unsecured lot blocks from the property isn't an ideal situation. That being said, all of the valet guys were friendly, professional, and efficient."

Heathman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a little staycation in Portland at the Heathman hotel and it was absolutely lovely. The room service was actually really good, which is hard to find in Portland. The bed was comfortable. The room was great. The only downside was the shower. I hope that they upgrade those soon because it was in need of an upgrade. I got a shower with a disability seat in it so maybe next time it will be a different experience, but I will definitely be staying here again. It was great."
