  Lobby is nice but the rooms are verging on trashy. You definitely get a slight feeling of seediness from the hotel rooms. It's an odd mix of nice things mixed with a seedy feeling. The lobby and restaurant is nice, the breakfast is GREAT, but the rest of the place is low class. The bed sheets were not soft but rather itchy. The "King" size bed was somehow smaller than a true king. There was NO fridge!! This caused us an excess of trouble as we couldn't have fresh snacks in our room or even cold water bottles. The tap water was undrinkable and the coke/water machine in hallway didn't work so obtaining drinking water was a real hassle! The room had gross old windows with white stains blocking view and just an underlying appearance of cheapness. The 6th floor is extremely hot in summer so the hallways are stifling. Luckily the room A/C works well enough to combat the heat. The bedside phone was not working. The swimming pool is in a white room with so few windows that you feel like you are locked up in prison while swimming. The pool is surrounded by tile flooring that is extremely slippery. We witnessed two different kids fall down and they could have been badly injured had they not been so lucky. This place would be fine if one needed an inexpensive, clean, safe place to sleep for a night. But if looking for a pleasing place to be on a pleasure trip this is not it. For a vacation worthy spot inside of Portland you'll have to spend more or go to Jantzen Beach or somewhere else further from downtown. Parking is expensive ($* but probably is like that anywhere in city center or downtown Portland.

  We were very happy with our stay at the Courtyard by Marriott. Very clean. Lobby and restaurant were classy - room service food from the restaurant was excellent. (with the kids we opted for room service rather than enjoying the restaurant) Parking wasn't too expensive - only $/day. But with location a mere 2-3 blocks from the Max Light Rail, those without the kids might just be better off without a rental car. Access to most city attractions is really easy on the Light Rail. And if I'm not mistaken, it lies within the fareless square (meaning, you don't have to buy a ticket). We enjoyed evening swims in the indoor pool. Very nice. Highly recommended.

  The Courtyard hasn't offered a free airport shuttle in the last 2 years, this was the ONLY downside to this hotel. The service, rooms, (smell) shuttle to store and back was great!!! I.E. We left at 230pm Saturday and housekeeping STILL cleaned the room (5th floor) each day and it was an amazing stay. Aaron is awesome!!! He gave us a $10 coupon to the hotel lounge for having to take the Maxx from airport to hotel. We've took the Maxx before and knew it was fun, which we took around Portland. We will definitely be back!!! Thanks Courtyard!!!
