Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront

We stayed one night when we went to Portland to go on the Spirit of Portland cruise. It is within easy walking distance of the waterfront. The hotel was very clean, room was spacious and it was quiet. The hotel was reasonably priced but the parking for your car is expensive. The woman checking us in was very nice and did give us free complimentary drinks (4 total) for us in the hotel.

Thanks

Truly service was amazing Friendly and attentive staff Will be staying here again when I’m visiting Portland in the future

Arrival was pleasant, front desk reservation pleasant. Bar area service rude, and unlike the Marriott. Departure, was a complete nightmare. We called the parking attendant 25 minutes before. We came down checked out. There were about 50 people waiting for their cars ahead of us. The parking supervisor said it would be about 15 minutes. 40 minutes later we got our car. Paid $48.00 dollars for valet parking, and this was the service we received. Parking manager needs to be fired. Many unhappy guest waiting for their cars. Bad Management, not what we expect from Marriott.

Not being used to the "Big City", I was unpleasantly surprised that the only on-property parking was valet parking, and at $46 per night plus tip I felt like a hostage. I didn't see any mention of this while booking the room. There are other parking garages nearby that are about half the cost, but found that out too late. Now for the good...checking was fast and friendly. The room was very well appointed and comfortable. We decided to have dinner at the onsite restaurant which was excellent. Having returned late from a performance, we were able to purchase a couple of drinks from the bar and they had no problem with us taking them back to our room. The checkout process was again fast, friendly and efficient. I would stay here again, but park elsewhere.
