What guests think

At Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront, travelers frequently highlight the riverfront location and views, generally friendly service, and convenient access to events, while noting trade-offs like costly valet-only parking and occasional noise or dated touches in some rooms.

Some also mention add-on charges, including internet and a destination fee. Dining options and the lobby coffee shop receive frequent praise, though a few guests found the restaurant or in-room coffee underwhelming. Cleanliness is typically strong, but there are periodic lapses and maintenance hiccups, and the property lacks a pool or hot tub. Best suited for travelers prioritizing walkability and event access over expansive amenities.

I stayed there twice before (2012,2017), and the experience this year was worse. Employees used to go out of their way to help you, this time they were clearly unhappy and let the customer know. Room service should be available 24/7 and the coffe place, while good, is extremely slow.

To who it may concern My name is Patricia. I feel they overcharged me, making up all different charges Designation fees. No hot tub, swimming pools. I never heard of. I will never go to that Marriott again.It was my birthday that weekend. I spent to much money for nothing. I pick the wrong Marrriot. I want my money back. Have a blessed day.🙏 Thank you! 😊

We had checked in for a memorial service, with the first two days under a group booking for the service and one final day so that we could go to a grand-niece’s graduation party. We left the room around noon the third day, removed the privacy sign and put it inside, and returned around 10:00 PM to find our room had not be cleaned even though the housekeeping cart was parked outside our door when we left. It was a complete breakdown in service and a disappointment to find when we returned to the room later that night. Management’s response was “we’ll tell the housekeeping staff”. Completely unacceptable in my book.

The porpery is an older hotel that has be updated. The room had a nice view of the waterfront and had an updated feel. Several outlets did not work in our room which was a drag after thinking your charging your device for the night and wake up to it not charged. There was also an issue with our toilet not refilling. We contacted the front desk about both incidents and was told an engineer would be dispatched, but both issues remained for our stay.

I booked a room with "City views". My city view was room 420 with direct access from the window (which could opened) to a roof with a few pieces of garbage on it. The worst part is that since the window was at the level of the roof, anyone could have access to my room through the window which was extremely unsafe. I warn every woman wanting to stay at the Marriot Downtown Waterfront to make sure she is not in that room or the one next to it which is probably accessible too. I tried to ask for a change of room because of the beautiful garbage city view but was told that was not possible by soemone at the front desk who could not care less (and did not do anything about the garbage) I did not realize the possible danger until after I asked for a change of room so I did not try again.

The hotel was very nice and for the most part served by friendly staff. However, we were treated very poorly by the restaurant staff who refused us service, saying they were at capacity for the evening. We were advised to find a restaurant within walking distance…in 12 degree weather with freezing rain with my 9 and 6 years old daughters. We went and sat down not 30 feet away to order from door dash and saw that they the very next group that went up to the hostess was told there would be a lengthy wait, but they could place a to-go order and wait in their room until it was done. I immediately walked back up to the hostess to inquire about such a deal and she walked away, and waited me out for 7 minutes, just talking to the waiter and making glances over at me. We returned to the restaurant for breakfast with a new set of staff and were greeted with amazing staff and service. We were told on the phone that we could self park in their parking garage but when we got there we were informed that they had no self parking (only valet) and that no other parking garage nearby was was really safe. I don’t mind valet (and would have done so already, just don’t appreciate being lied to.) Overall, it’s a beautiful property in the heart of a vibrant city. I’m sure we just caught people on a bad day.

The restaurant was okay for breakfast. I didn't eat lunch/dinner there. It's a little more expensive than other places, but it's nice and in a good location for attending events at the park.

Most things were fine. Polite staff for check-in and -out. Convenient location to Keller auditorium. Nice view of the riverfront. However, for the price, the room amenities were very limited or lacking; it felt cheap. Most hotels at this price provide: fans in the bathroom so your fellow travelers can't hear and smell you; small grooming packets with Q-tips; makeup mirrors; extra blankets; more coffee packets and real cream packets. Also, starting to remove the food from the M lounge at 9:30 doesn't allow travelers to sleep in and take advantage of the buffet. Would suggest 11AM, esp. on weekends.

A great waterfront location with a lot of choices within walking distance for food, entertainment and shopping. The in and out Valet parking option for $54 a day was super convenient. We found The room to be comfortable and quiet. We took in a concert at Keller Auditorium and walked on the waterfront to the Saturday outdoor market. There are cafés and restaurants directly across the street from this location down by the water. Or one can walk up the waterfront and into town for a variety of restaurant choices. Powells is close by and it’s a short drive to many other locations like the Pittock Mansion, Japanese Gardens, and many other attractions to make the stay worth the cost.

This hotel was in a beauiful location with easy access to the Keller auditorium just around the corner. Valet parking only but the price is comparable to other parking facilities in the area plus after reading the reviews of other parking places I found them to be mostly negative. The staff at Marriott are happy and cheerful and are willing to go that extra mile to meet your needs. Our room was clean and beautiful also. The ONLY negative I had was the in-room coffee maker. The coffee is terrible but fear not, if you're an early riser the coffee shop in the lobby area opens at 6am with a large variety of coffees and breakfast items for you to choose from!
