Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront Review

Great location, close to restaurants, good running trial by the water, very nice staff.

What a view! A beautiful place to experience Portland. Convenient bar/restaurant in the lobby. Shopping is only steps away. Everyone is there to assist in what ever you need. I'll be back.

High class hotel, great location, and the perfect launching pad for a wonderful city. It's right next to the Waterfront.

Great customer service, comfy beds, and great natural lighting!

Very nice hotel I could not stay here tho they found my heard of ducks and I had to leave

Great location and walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops. I like that they use water glass jars for water refills. It is excellent to see a hotel being environmentally friendly.

Nice hotel with nice freshly renovated rooms. Good location with friendly staff. Didn't have a chance to eat or drink at the hotel, was only there for the night.

From all my Marriott experiences this has been the worst. Marriott is more towards the expensive hotels. The rooms were very small, we got a breakfast included package. The breakfast buffet is fresh but way too limited. Their menu is much better though. The location is very good but will not go there again.

As a lifetime platinum MR member I was under impressed with the room upgrade. Hotel is nice, C Lounge fantastic, but hotel is more of a business conference center than a couples weekend getaway place.

It was pleasant but a bit crowded. The host was a little rude however the wait staff was knowledgeable and efficient

This was a classy fun hotel. I would love to return! The room was beautiful, customer service great, and the 2nd floor restaurant was amazing for breakfast. The only drawback was that the valet was $42.00. O.o

Place is awesome. Did a lot of research cause I'm getting older and had a lot of bad and good travels. Bed was amazing, service great, and everyone friendly. Get the club package. Awesome place

More thanks cool
The bed was amaising....sleep like a baby.

Nice and new, refreshed hotel. The rooms are comfortable and modern and I personally enjoyed the flatscreen and bed. Great location next the Tom McCaw park and riverfront with many places to eat and drink close by. Away from traffic and walking by foot is a breeze if you want to avoid driving. $42 to valet is rather high in price... similar to their in house restaurant "Truss"(heh). Luckily there are plenty of lots to park close by for 1/4 of the price. Overall I'd recommend this hotel and l would stay again.

Free beer and snacks as we came in. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean comfortable rooms.

Comfortable rooms, quiet environment, quick access to the waterfront area, it's a great hotel.

We booked through a third party employee discount service from my husband's work and when we checked-in (after a long wait) the hotel desk clerk did not give us a double room (what I booked) so we had to use two roll-a-way beds which made the small room we were given extremely crowded. Also when we left, the valet service left us standing outside waiting for our car for over 45 minutes. There were at least 30 people who came out after we did and were brought their cars ahead of us. I would not stay there again for the cost, it's not that great.

Good hotel bar in lobby. Great view of city (from 11th fl). River walk park across the street.

Rooms are great, comfortable and well lit. Great view of the river.

Clean hotel. Everything is updated and gret service. We came for a company's work banquet.

The hotel is newly renovated and clean. The staff on the elite level, specifically Pedro is a star, but the wifi was substandard and lead to jerky youtube viewing on the hotel television. The gym cycles were not working properly.

Loved everything except room service food in boxes-no plates or silverware.

Was nice seeing Cheryl again, and being an informed person for people to ask questions about the film directed by Cheryl! Very cool!

Upscale hotel on the waterfront park in downtown Portland. Clean well appointed rooms, a little short on drawer space. In room coffee, safe and refrigerator. Very nice meeting spaces. Coffee shop and basic restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff.

Amazing when greated morning and evening with something tasty at front desk!!

A nice hotel with a view of the waterfront. Great staff, clean rooms. I would go here again. Only issue is the location to downtown venues. If you don't mind walking or taking an Uber then you will be good. There are places near the hotel, but not as many in this area of town.

Remodeled rooms, great M lounge area, downtown location

Perfect stay!! Upon check in we were greeted very warmly and made to feel very welcome! Bar and restaurant offered excellent food and service. Wait staff... amazing!

I went there for a conference. The catering used local brands and products. The conference areas were quite spacious.

From booking to check out, every experience was great.

My most recent stay here was for my birthday and was treated to a riverview room on the 12th floor. The staff was very friendly and helpful, including the valets. The online check in made things super quick and easy upon arrival, and checking in took only a few seconds.

My room and the hotel in general, are decorated in a portland inspired theme, with my room having a wood cutaway above the bed with a dark wood and leather bed frame. The remodel was well thought out and well executed. Everything looks clean and modern, while keeping the essence of the NorthWest.

The guest service system in the room is operated via the tv and you can connect to your Netflix account, play music from your phone via Bluetooth, get local guides, etc.

The hotel was mostly quiet during my stay, despite being so close to waterfront park and Naito Parkway.

As I did not take advantage of any of the other amenities offered at the hotel like the various restaurants or lounges, I did walk by and they were well laid out with attentive staff.

If you're looking for a place to stay in Portland and appreciate a good view, I would recommend the Waterfont Marriott

The staff here have been wonderful to my wife and I on our visit to Portland. Special consideration was given to us for our stay, and Wade, Pedro, Rose and Marilyn worked hard to make the visit more memorable. The staff is knowledgeable and generous with information about amenities and sights to see around the town. This has been a wonderful trip for us and we owe a great deal to the professional, kind, and courteous team at the Portland Marriott Waterfront.

Had a lovely evening there, starting off with a very helpful and extremely helpful valet. Front desk were all smiles and did a superb job with their recommendations

Very nice hotel, the rooms are comfortable and very clean. Would stay here again.

Bathroom doors are sliding glass. If you want privacy for your bathroom look elsewhere. Other than that a great stay.

Nice clean rooms and very spacious. Convenient location

Kelsey went out of her way to resolve a 3rd party booking issue. She also facilitated a roll out for our picky teens. Despite being under construction it was clean and quiet. We would definitely stay again

Wonderful views of the waterfront. Great, comfortable rooms.

Stayed here for a conference on site which was less than stellar but that's on the conference. The rooms were decent sized and I didn't have to pay for parking since I was from out of town. It had a decent location on the river and close to busses to Division Street. Nice hotel but nothing special and not worth the special rate.

Free wifi was spotty and so was the cell reception.

The view is always great. The waterfront allows for a beautiful backdrop, while the people watching (especially in Portland) is always hilarious.

Hotel has been renovated. Rooms quite nice and functional. Great bar, happy hour 7 days. MClub lounge is cool.

The Marriot is a great place to host a work event they seemed very accomodating and well kept

Staff are very helpful and up beat. River views are beautiful.
When big convention is happening, elevator is a huge issue. Have to wait at times 5 - 10 minutes. Other than that. Very nice.

Perfect location for the Blues Festival. Great staff everywhere. Room service has been updated the the 21st century. Order your food on the phone, they call you when is ready, pick it up at the front desk. Amazing...it's hot, fresh and the burger I ordered was awesome. Never expected that good of a burger and fries from a hotel. Wife had the salmon salad and was very pleased. We'll be back next year for another awesome 4th of July Blues Festival.

Being a road warrior, I've spent literally 100s of nights in Marriott properties across the US and Canada. This is one of my favorite hotels, due to the location, view and concierge. When I return to Portland, this is where I'll be staying! Conveniently located to Portland the surrounding suburbs, and a quick drive from the airport are also reasons to like this property. Beds and linens were higher-end and made my stay comfortable.

After wandering across the Tillicum bridge during the winter festival of lights we were starving. Finding most places closed we found ourselves in front of the Marriott and decided we might as well see if they had a lounge, we decided to eat there. I believe it was called the Proof Reader whiskey + craft + kitchen. It wasn't crowded, the waitress was nice. The booths were private surrounded by bookshelves.

Nice rooms but bathroom is really small. We didn't get a balcony which makes the room seem smaller.

Beautiful and convenient location. Staff goes above and beyond. Rooms are comfortable, clean, and luxurious. Nice gym and restaurant as well.

Excellent hotel. Nicely maintained rooms and great location.

Wonderful, beautiful modern hotel with an outstanding restaurant and bar on the main floor / the Proof Reader. Looking forward to my next trip!

Bathtub was the best part! Huge tub and nice jets. But no AC:(

Top tier hotel with wonderful staff, a great whiskey bar and beautiful views. I will be staying here from now on.

One of the friendliest and most efficient Marriotts I have stayed at.

I will miss my Gold status since I do t travel for work anymore, but decided on staying at the Waterfront Marriott while in Portland sine I still have that benefit. Check in took a whole minute and they let me check in and get a room early.

The hotel has a modern and comfortable feel. The room, although small, was comfortable and well laid out. The bed was very comfortable.

I will miss the new M Club. It is open to elite members and is open 24 hours a day with beverages and snacks. They have a great breakfast buffet and evening selections of hor d'oeuvres and tasty deserts. The staff was always eager to go out of their way to provide for the guest.

At the time I went, there was a convention going on at the hotel, yet the hotel never seemed to become overwhelmed, like I have experienced at other hotels.

Will happily stay here again.

Beautiful view of the waterfront and Mt. Hood on a sunny clear day if your room is 5th floor and up and facing that direction. Not cheap, not not very expensive either for a downtown hotel. The bed was relatively comfy, the pillows very nice. The heating unit pretty arhaic and noisy when the fan was on.
Parking is valet only, $42 or in one of the nearby parking garages ($15/day to $19/24 hrs). No Wi-Fi ($9.95/day) included or breakfast. A breakfast restaurant and a bar located inside the hotel. Staff is very courteous and friendly. Great for meetings, events, conferences.

Such a fun hotel. Amazing view, perfect location for our beloved late night city walks.

Stayed 4 nights in a river-view king on the 11th floor.
Pros: great location, friendly front desk staff, nicely refurbished rooms, balcony, and a good view. There is also a small Sarbucks located nextdoor.
Cons: small bathroom, bad water pressure, old and dated tub/shower combo, bad wifi connection, housekeeping was so-so, partially used shower/bath amenities.
Overall, I'd stay here again if someone else paid for it. It's not a bad hotel but it could be a lot better.

Very nice hotel, great location, friendly people. Rooms were clean and service was excellent

Attended a benefit here and the facilities are very nice, to be expected. I'm not sure if it was the hotel staff who catered and served but the meal was very good and the staff were excellent. We also went for a glass of wine in the bar which was very cozy and the waitress was on cue.

Room decor was amazing. We had a small balcony. Room was neat and well-maintained. Breakfast was included in our booking. Overall great experience. The river view is amazing.

Nice room on seventh floor, opposite the elevators, but in this hotel the elevators (and their chime) was very discreet so you nver heard noise inside your room. Check-in staff friendly and efficient. Bed was *very* comfortable. Starbucks coffee available at the lobby bar. Checkout was also fast ans efficient.

Pretty views and good location. Parking is high and bathrooms in rooms are very small.

Nice place, wish it was closer to the entertainment district. Parking is rather expensive but comparable to other hotels in the area. Hotel itself has several amenities in the building but everything nearby is either a parking garage or an office building. Shopping and entertainment are a little bit of a walk. Overall service and room are quite good.

Awesome friendly professional service, wonderful view, comfortable bed, small bathroom with a slider door so doesn't have full privacy, quiet even with the sounds of the city. Waterfront park on the Willamette is right across the street. Great experience.

Just a heads up ... the dining and room service is very expensive, yet there are other restaurants nearby. They turn off the guest Wi-Fi the morning of check out.

The hotel is clean and the staff was friendly. Escalators or elevators available to get downstairs. Large conference room that was dividable for multiple classes or events. Plenty of room for vendors at the conference. Catering was done well, good quality fruit, yogurt, baked goods, variety of spreads available as well as coffee and tea. Overall good place to have a conference. Local parking available, or street parking or parking garages nearby.

The location is great as was the service. Very friendly people. The bar has an amazing tap list. Wunderlust on tap... Yep, we'll be back!

We enjoyed our stay. Nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. The staff were very helpful and kind. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the rooms are small, a little pricey and have no microwave. Otherwise, very nice.

Always love staying here. The views are amazing and go at Christmas with the boats on parade

Seemed to be an older Marriott with a very small reception but good beds and nice employees. Location is very good.

I liked it here. I'd probably book this location again. The room was nice and cozy and up-to-date, although I wished the vent/fan in the bathroom wouldn't have blown the shower curtains inward so it gets stuck to you while in the shower, but otherwise, this hotel was in a good location to get picked up and dropped off.

I had a great time at the Maceo Parker show! The prices were fairly reasonable for drinks, and the tap selection was great.

We had the mother's day brunch at Truss and had a great time. I'd recommend it.

Great place down by the river and a park. Beautiful.

A lovely room, fast service, and such comfy beds!! I had to mark down because the room smelled so intensely of acetone we needed to air out the room constantly, the hotel was so cold, and the elevators were INSANELY slow :(

Even though I did not stay at the downtown Portland Marriott this time around I have stayed there before. My experience there has been amazing. Their food and service was amazing and their rooms that they offered were both comfortable and luxurious. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Desk clerks made me haggle to get what I expected. Corporatism run amok. Great property and location near The Max.

Attended a company Banquet. 1500 people had a blast!

Great location, above par service, what you expect from Marriott, we stay at Marriott unless nothing else is available.

I just used parking panda for valet parking. Great customer service. Prompt delivery of my vehicle

I had a good time. The escalator was pleasantly long and narrow.

Very clean and very gracious and helpful staff. The room we had was smaller than normal but we knew that and chose it for view and higher floor. Comfortable bed, good shower pressure, good in room coffee. Fitness center is excellent. Parking in any downtown city is tough but there is a garage very close by that is less expensive than the valet parking.

Location is great, but performance price ratio is not good.

I attended a convention at the Marriott. The facility was clean. They catered lunch and it was a great meal. Not buffet style. It was comfortable and the restrooms were clean and available. Thank you

Great goldmember lounge, great waterfront view, and great service from Emily at the front desk. I'm definitely planning to come back next trip.

We had a nice walk after dinner at the Mariott with our children. It was a perfectly, beautiful night on the river.

I do a lot of business in Portland and the Marriott Waterfront is one of my go to places to stay. I have not had a bad experience here in many years of staying. (Disclaimer: I am a Marriott Rewards member but I am a brutally honest customer and if something bothers me then I will review it truthfully regardless of my membership.) So, my stay was very nice and I continue to get excellent service with Marriott. The food at this Marriott is better then most I have stayed in, with a nice selection and quick professional service. One of the faucet handles was loose in the bathroom when I arrived and maintenance had if fixed within 30 minutes of my call to the front desk. My second night I ordered room service so I could finish up some work for a meeting the next day and my order was delivered promptly and professionally. The bell hop even set up the tray and table for me while I finished up my business call that I was on. This was the first time I used the remote check in and that is where your Marriott phone app is used simply at your room by holding your phone to the door and it unlocks....very easy to use and no standing in line at check in you do it all on your Marriott app. Just one more reason I like Marriott. Not all rooms have a water view but ask for one its really nice.

Very welcoming from the moment you pull into the entrance. Valet parking at a fairly reasonable price with come and go as you please. The lady at the front desk was very helpful at recommending us to visit certain places and restaurants around town. The room was very clean and comfortable. One of the nicest hotels I ve stayed at.

Great place. Nice bar, good food and comfortable rooms. Sadly they placed me in a low level room above the ventilation. If not for the location of the room it would be 5 stars
