Monica

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff did not take to any conversation regarding missed steps regarding lack of cleaning service in the room and lack of clean towels. Staff suggested things I could have done to cause a lack of hospitality services such as cleaning services. Quality of services received were poor. Lobby furnishing was dirty with visible food spots to include red drippings on arms of chairs. I was told I did not receive maid service because the housekeeping manager was "MIA" all day. Given a handicap room by mistake and I was told "whoever" booked the room requested a handicapped accessible room when I booked the room myself. There was an excess for every mishap that never received an apology for any inconvenience experienced. I will no longer consider becoming a Hilton Rewards member as suggested when I booked the room because they offered superior service beyond Marriott's capability. Such an industry insult due to the poor experience of myself and 2 other guest in my party. Water front property was a mis-interpretation as I was told to stand diagonal at the window. I was informed it was fruitless to complain so instead I will stay away from Hilton and advise others to do the same especially as we plan our next NEA, PGCEA, and MD conventions.

Excellent location. Close to many restaurants and shops. Right across from harbor. Little pricey for time of year. Elevator was way too slow and made some crazy sounds. Coffee was empty in the morning when I went down. They charged my Jeep for me when they valeted it. That was nice!

Overall really great experience and staff was super helpful and friendly. Our only issue was that the hot tub temp was way too high. I love hot water but it was so hot that we couldn’t even get in. You may want to check in this as it could be dangerously hot. Again, overall a great stay!!

Enjoyed our time at this hotel, morning manager was very nice and helpful throughout our stay. She offered great suggestions on things to do as this was our first time in Portland. The only negative was the water pressure and hot water was lacking, went from warm to cool while showering. On site breakfast was nice and prices were good.
