Courtyard Portland North Harbour

Two stars is very fair if not generous. Popcorn ceilings, chipped furniture, gold-​plated accents, and carpet I would call vintage. I frequent quite a few Courtyards through biz travel and would highly recommend the recently remodeled Airport Courtyard instead. Maybe peeps already know that because they were booked full for the night.
The street getting to the hotel is an odd design, like a maze that turns into a dead end. Frankly the parking garage is what bothered me the most and I’m surprised more guests haven’t written about it. Just take a look at the photo I uploaded, self explanatory. It’s like they painted the lines while they were high, or, they thought only motorcycles would park there. Every spot is smaller than a compact spot.
There isn’t much food within walking distance, and because I got back on a weekday slightly past dinner time there were no more usable parking spots. Let’s end this on a bright note — the gal at the front desk checking me in was nice and efficient.

This hotel only gets two stars based on décor and how outdated the hotel is. If it was 1985, this would have been the place to be. The harbor view is breathtaking, and the lobby is classy. But this is 2015, and many things are missing, such as an outlet by the bed for my phone-​since I (and everybody else) use it as an alarm. The JW Marriott I stayed at last week had an alarm clock I could set my iPhone 6 on to charge-​I like that.
I’ve been Marriott platinum for 10 years, and I can’t remember EVER seeing an orange couch with polka dots. The Courtyard furniture was green, then red, now gray. The staff is super friendly, and will do their best to accommodate your needs, but this place drastically needs a remodel.
The parking below the hotel is great, but skinny spaces. My jeep couldn’t fit into one spot, I had to park into two spaces.

Good hotel in regards to service. Good people. Location is only good if you are trying to get to Vancouver, Wa. Even then the interchange is always a 10 – 15 minute wait during rush hours.
Location other than that sucks. No real dinner choices within walking distance. With this being Portland you would hope a brewery or good spot was around but nope.
It’s also 15 minutes from airport…
20 minutes or less to downtown without traffic.

I really wish we could give half stars. This property is really not a 2, but it is not a 3, not right now anyways.
So I had an issue with a reservation at another property and they rebooked me to this location, was a bit out of my way from where I needed/​wanted to be but I do not blame that on this property.
Check in — quick and easy. Good staff, friendly and helpful. The main lobby is nice but definitly needs an update.
Parking — secure parking under the hotel, was kind of weird, but it worked,
Room — this was my biggest complaint, the room was clean so no worries there, but it was just so bland. Very little on the wall, just very plain, was not a comfortable experience to be in the room. They should hire an interior decorator. The other issue I had was the bed, not comfortable at all, and really small pillows.
Food and other amenities — I did not use or pay much attention to them.
This is not an avoid at all costs property (no Marriott’s are) but this would not be my first choice. It would certainly do in a pinch, as was the case for me.
If this property did some remodeling and a little interior design in the room, it would be a solid 3 to 3.5 stars.

I had dinner tonight at the restaurant. I ordered the Halibut with the rice pilaf and vegetables. I thought the meal was great. It came with a nice salad, and you can order cocktails from the bar. All in all the meal hit the spot. However, the five stars are for the service. Had the pleasure tonight to meet Kayce, pronouced «case». What a great guy. He handled my dinner order, managed the dinning room and the bar, all with a smile and enthusiasm. He always checked in with me and was a complete gentleman. I hope the Marriott appreciates this man’s dedication to service with a smile. What an asset to your team. Also makes a great Manhattan Thank you so much for the great service, Kayce. Best of luck to you.

I stayed at this property this weekend as I was attending a meeting there on Saturday. The best rate was found through their own site, using a AAA card. It was still almost rack rate, but I had to take it as I wanted to be on site for convenience.
The property was nowhere near full, but somehow this still didn’t warrant giving me a harbor view. Seriously?
The front desk staff were very friendly and professional. However, in every encounter I had with housekeeping or maintenance… they were downright surly. I always make eye contact and smile when I meet people in the halls. Not a single person did anything but glare and frown. Once the elevator door opened as I was going to my car, and the housekeeping staff stood right in front of the elevator door. I started to exit and they didn’t move. I smiled and said, «Excuse me,» and they just stood there. I’m not joking, I was wondering what the hell was wrong with them. I actually had to point behind her as I’m stepping on the threshold to exit and said, «Excuse me, I’m getting OFF the elevator.» She said something under her breath and shoved past me to get INTO the elevator before I could get off.
I rode up with someone else in the elevator with me and as she and I chatted, the woman who had got on with a laundry cart openly glared and sneered at the woman I was speaking with. It was downright bizarre.
The King room was very small, but at least the bathroom and vanity area had plenty of space. The bed was perhaps the worst I’ve experience in a hotel in a looooong time, and certainly the worst at any Marriott property. When I first sat on the bed I jumped back up as the sound of groaning springs, which you could feel under a very thin covering, was quite a surprise!
The property was clean, including little details in my room.
It didn’t rise to my expectation of the chain, but I’m finding that is very hit and miss. There are some lovely updated properties in the Seattle Metro area, but that wave of refreshment certainly hasn’t made it to Portland.

We stay in a lot of Marriot hotels as we accumulate Marriot points with our credit card and get free nights. This is not one of my favorites, though they did do us a good turn which I appreciated!
We stayed there one night on our way to a camping trip and one night on the way home. Our room on the way in was fine. We have 4 small children so we needed the king size bed and fold out couch. Even with everything set up we had room to move around which is quite appreciated. They do not have a free breakfast, but did have an (overpriced) breakfast buffet and omelette station. Our kids loved it, and I did have a decent omelette, but $ 40 for two omelettes and a bunch of cereal really hurts.
Sometime during our late arrival the night before, our 4 year old lost her glasses. Despite spending a ton of time searching we were unable to locate them. We left our information and a few hours later they were found by the housecleaning staff and they offered to send them to us at our campground or hold them for us until we returned. We asked them to hold the glasses. I really appreciated that they actually looked for the glasses and were wiling to go the extra mile to send them to us.
On our return trip, we got there earlier in the day and swam. The pool is small but otherwise adequate. Our room was much smaller and we literally had to climb over something to get to something else. PPV was out completely and regular TV kept cutting in and out. Also, our AC unit wasn’t working quite right and it was extremely hot all night. We had to call the front desk repeatedly for things that were missed. We didn’t get the crib. Then there was no bedding for the fold out or the crib. Each time it took them almost an hour to get those items to us. Pretty annoying.
The parking situation was no big deal. There is a large lot across the street with lots of parking. As we had a fully loaded Suburban with bike rack and rooftop carrier, we couldn’t have fit in the garage anyway.

I’ve stayed in several courtyards around the world. This is the dingiest one I’ve been to. The place just needs an update. The carpets look like they are 20 years old. While my bed was comfortable and the TV was new, the bathroom and furnishings in my room were dated. The elevator smelled like a mixture of cleaning chemicals and vomit. I can just imagine what happened there.
Breakfast was OK. The waffles and made to order eggs are a good draw. The chafing dishes of sausage, bacon and potatoes were uninspiring. I was there three days. If I had to stay there another day I would have found somewhere else to go.
I’ll find somewhere else to stay next time.

I wouldn’t mind staying here again. I love service ambience and location. Freshly baked cookies in the morning and fresh coffee to go with it. The only thing about this place that sucked was their underground parking.
Seriously, just because I am a women, and asian doesn’t mean I don’t know how to park but seriously. you have an obstacle course down there. how to avoid hitting the columns and cars. rather park outside then get hit or squeeze to park my car here.

Every single hotel in downtown was booked the weekend I tried to go down to get away from Seattle. I tried this place out because it was close to the light rail and have had ok luck with courtyards in the past.
The hotel it self was fine. You even get free underground parking with your room. There is a shuttle that will drop you off at the light rail and pick you up if you call ahead but it is only like a mile walk otherwise.
The room was fine though why the 1980s clocks and phones I’ll never get. If you are looking for a decent place away from downtown this isn’t a bad choice.

Absolutely a perfect place if you’re looking for calm and comfortable stay in the Portland area. The hotel staff are exceptionally friendly and eager to please, and the hotel offers all the amenities the business traveler requires. A small business center is available for email checks, and while not yet wireless, eithernet cables in the room provide sufficiently speedy internet. The hotel restaurant won’t knock your socks off, but you can get a tasty dinner for a reasonable price, and eat in the bar if you want to watch whatever sports game happens to be playing on ESPN. Rooms are clean and spacious and there’s a bit of locked underground parking and you’re close — albeit driving only — from a number of tasty seafood restaurants.

Beautiful Hotel set near the airport in Portland. They have very nice comfortable bed with temprapedic mattresses. The service is great with a complementary USA today in the mornings. The rooms have coffee makers, irons, great beauty aid products.
The only downside is being near the airport with the noise of the planes taking off and landing. One really needs to have some ear plugs to have a good deep sleep unless this type of noise doesn’t bother you.
The food is very good, and there is complementary coffee and cookies in the lobby.
They also have a workout room and pool. I also hear it is a very nice place to stay in the summer because of the canals and views.
