Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Downtown

Surroundings and in street access only, high stree

Room was great, after changing rooms. Initial room not as described and had to show desk clerk reservation copy from email on phone. Res promised room with a view on top floor. Given previous floor level with view of parking garage. Said were given last available room with view. Had a great view of the city looking towards the river. Breakfast was great! Although the "cooked to order" ad description should of said "buffet" with optional "made to order" omelette. I did, and it was good.

Having to use Valet parking. Rather a forced choice, because of logistics, then end up in public parking area anyway. Location was horrible. Maybe for some tastes is ok. Rough inner city, area. Not a place for going for walks or taking a young family. Sorry, we love Embassy Suites, but won't return to this one. Again, hotel inside was great. The surroundings not so much.

Lack of cost effective or variety menu selections in steakhouse

I liked the location... I could see voodoo doughnuts from my room. We only waited for 4 minutes to get one :-) . The staff was awesome and the managers reception is a brilliant idea.

Loved the location near to the Saturday/Sunday Market and to lots of restaurants accessible by foot. Door staff were very helpful. Gorgeous old building, too.

Wasn't crazy about the complimentary breakfast being held in the basement! Also, it would have been nice if the pool area had separate change rooms/showers, etc.

the stay was enjoyable

children running in hallway was a pain in the neck, they were loud
