Top Downtown Portland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lucia

8/10 Good

"We loved the location but the room had a specific smell that we didn’t like. Staff was nice, but when we were checking in they were more attentive to the phone rather than other people waiting in line. We would stay there again."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I got the nicest room in the hotel for my dad and his wife's anniversary and his birthday and it was the best vacation he's had. The room had the best view in Portland, the room was clean and the bed was so comfortable. The pool and hot tub were classy and salt water. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was amazing and the omelettes station made delicious omelettes. All in all it is one of the historical gems of Portland. Ill be back."

The Hotel Zags Portland

6/10 Okay

"This hotel has great amenities for the whole family including a s’mores hour from 7-8, a room filled with free rentals and great activities for kids. It was clean and beautiful. That being said, no one warned me that the HVAC system is connected to the heat and anytime it is colder than 55 outside the heat overrides the thermostat. I set the thermostat to 67 and tossed and turned all night to wake up in 81 degree heat!! My staff supplied solution? To turn off the air completely if I wanted to sleep the following night. I found this to be a bit stressful and worried I’d get no sleep for a second night in a row. It only went up 5 degrees instead of 14 when I turned it off but I wanted to warn anyone who might be staying here in the summer so they could avoid having the same issue. Clean hotel with great amenities though, and great value for the price! I just wish I had gotten more rest."
