DoubleTree by Hilton Portland

I have not stayed overnight at this hotel. So my review is only about the first level and meeting rooms.
They have many meeting rooms. You have many options! They serve all sizes of groups.
There is a bar and a restaurant on the main floor. The drinks are expensive

Seems like a standard Double Tree. They give you the cookie on check in, which lets face it, is half the reason you stay at Double Tree. The single room is fairly small but comfortable. Rooms don’t come with a mini fridge, you have to request they put one in your room. Fitness center is decent sized with newer equipment and some free weights. Still enough room with over 5 people in there at once. Not a bad location. Walking distance to the convention center and a Safeway grocery store. I’d stay here again!

I love this location, the price is good and they make a breakfast fish that I love called oven roasted eggs. I always have this dish. Service is friendly and it’s always a short distance to the freeway and airport.

This is a great location. There’s a coffee shop and little market right across the street. It’s directly across from the Max Line. Perfect if you’re coming from the airport. Most nights we took the line to various restaurants but there’s were also things we cool walk to easily, including the convention center.
Stayed here during two conferences in a row. One was small and one was huge! They tended to both very well. The breakfast provided at the first one was always delicious, and I enjoyed selections from both the coffee shop and the bar.
The staff kept our tables very clean and the coffee was constantly flowing during our meetings.

I got tickets to Lakers game for my boyfriend for Christmas so we found the doubletree on groupon for 150 a night and that was the cheapest nice hotel we could find close to the moda center. The hotel was huge! It has a gorgeous lobby and even a little mini mart to get late night snacks and we just put them on our room tab.
When we got up to the room I was shocked! It was extremely cramped. The bed was hard as a rock and they even upgraded us to a balcony but the balcony is grungy and had no furniture to sit out and enjoy our view of the park. I went into the bathroom to to shower and get ready and noticed there was hair in the shower and sink. The bathroom was a decent size but the hair blow dryer was broken so it was only set on high. I’m thankful we didn’t stay another night or I would’ve asked to move. It was a good size for one night but still very cramped with too big furniture. Next time we go, I think we will pass on doubletree. Not worth 150/​night.
The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is the room had a nice tv and the greeters at the front entrance and lobby were extremely nice. Also the cookies were amazing and the water stations were nice too. I wish I knew that the breakfast was free or I would have tried that out too.
Did I mention that parking for hotel guests is 20 bucks?! Not even included in your stay which is typical for Portland but they had a huge garage so can’t they cut the guests a break?!

I love this hotel! When you get to the lobby, it is very inviting! Check in was a breeze and what makes it is you get fresh warm cookies!!! Their cookies seriously have crack in it! I love that they have water dispensers outside because I get thirsty a lot! No need to buy cases of water! Just bring a water and refill!
The rooms that we got were super spacious! There is lots of room to roam around. The showers though are a bit weak as well as the blow dryer but that is my only gripe because I have a lot of hair. Changing the channel on the TV is a pain because it is super slow too!
I love that they have a complimentary breakfast buffet. They serve eggs, sausages, bacon, biscuits, french toast, potatoes, cereal, oatmeal, fruits, and they even have smoothies! Services was awesome!
I even came back one night from going out to a bar around 1am and my friends and I were super thirsty. We grabbed a couple of water bottles from the little connivence area and when I gave it to the guy to purchase, he said that it was on the house for us and gave us more cookies! Best Night Ever!!!
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfy stay, good cookies, and a great breakfast!

Pleasant staff good menu. Weather was wet but staying indoors was fine. Close to shopping and the max.

I love the location of this hotel! Right next to the MAX and Lloyd Center, this Double Tree is not only convenient but well priced. There’s always some fun convention going on and their restaurants and bars are excellent. They have an oven baked chocolate cookie and water waiting for you at check in.
The hotel is very clean and quiet. The staff is super nice and attentive to all needs. The valet can be slow at times but worth the $ 25 ticket price. We usually stay here for Blazers games and to tour downtown. The tax free shopping is totally worth it too. :)

It’s freshly remodeled and a very spacious property. New carpet, tremendous ebullient service from the front desk to the room service to the valet Fantastic really. Well trained and friendly.
The downer… dispite the excellent updates… New carpet and modern look, this old relic 80s building suffers structural issues like slow and too few elevators, aluminum Windows that exchange heat and cold and life on the sketchy near east side of Portland where the homeless mingle with ragamuffin street kids and the downright scary, one of whom was lurking in true garage.

When we arrived, the staff was very helpful and proactive. Everything we had requested ahead of time was ready to go. **the beds were the most comfortable I have ever had at a hotel**
As an hhonors member I got to select my room when I checked in via the app, and got a corner room which was very roomy. We had 4 people staying for 4 nights and didn’t feel at all cramped (even with the refrigerator and microwave we requested) the refrigerator looked a little ghetto, but worked really well and even kept our frozen things frozen (which is not at all common with hotel refrigerators). The beds were plenty big for us to sleep 2 people each (even with about 3 of the best pillows, each) seriously, some of the best sleep of my life
Since we drove through the night, we got there around 10 am. I thought we might have to wait for our room but it was ready and we were able to go right up.
They had a very accommodating late check out policy and when we decided late morning (2 hours before we had scheduled to check out) to stay another night, there was no problem letting us keep our same room.
Our group had a promotion code for the Wi-​Fi and none of us experienced any problems with it being slow or cutting out.
We always bring our own power strips with us (as even with me and my 1 usual travel buddy, we have about 9 things constantly plugged in). Usually at hotels, wall sockets are hidden behind huge pieces of furniture, but they had 3 sockets that were easily accessible in the main room area.
I go to these weekend meetings about 5 times a year and this was one of my best hotel experiences. Also super convenient that they had more than enough conference space to accommodate the needs our group (about 1500 people).
Public transportation was very convenient and there was a good variety of restaurants and stuff within easy walking distance.

I have to say this is a really nice hotel and the convienence is optimal! There where small issues that arose throughout our weekend stay and everyone tried to make is right. Different small issues jusy kept coming up. However when it was all done and said, the director of guest services in the end made it all right! They definately take action to do the best they can! In the end that is all one can ask for! Stuff happens! When one takes accountability and steps to make if better. That is the best service one can get!

UPDATE —
Hilton is obviously monitoring Unilocal posts. We received a phone call from the front desk about 9 pm offering my wife and myself a bottle of wine. Since we don’t drink wine my wife replied they could bring us «treats.» Kudos to whomever it was that put together a nice tray of goodies. It was a very, very nice. If it weren’t for the experience below, I would have revised my stars to 4.
I still slept in a double bed, excuse me, Hilton queen, with an obnoxious amount of hallway light coming through the large gap between the hotel room door and floor with the romantic view of the hotel lobby HVAC system. (It kind of feels like the room that is reserved for, and assigned to, the «difficult» customers.) I forgot to mention there is no bathtub either. A very nice shower yes, but from reviewing the property’s web site, «showers only» is not the standard.

Large comfy rooms with spacious bathrooms! Nice fruit infused water in the lobby everyday. Rooms were very clean and the location is ridiculously close to a MAX stop. Service was friendly and very helpful. They even welcome you with a cookie.
Only one star off for one of the bathroom doors — we had two entry ways to our bathroom (one by the door and one by the bed), that got stuck sometimes and required an extra push to shut all the way. Tub could have drained a little quicker too.

Clean quiet room. Easy parking. Convenient location. Everything we were expecting in a «need to have a decent place to sleep» situation.
Whole place felt a bit cavernous and convention-​y. Certainly not a luxury hotel to linger at. But quite respectable for what it is.

We organized an event for 1500 people here and booked the whole hotel. Throughout the past two years of planning, they have been nothing but accommodating, friendly, and flexible. We’ve held monthly meetings in their bar meeting room, which is convenient, easy, and great for a 20/​30-​ish person gathering.
Our group is loud, rowdy, drunk, and more than a handful, and they handled us during the weekend with grace and aplomb. The rooms are clean and spacious, the beds and sheets are comfortable, the views are fantastic, and the proximity to public transportation is unbeatable.
And the staff! The staff was absolutely amazing. Special thanks to Matt R, Luis, Jacklyn, Joel, Justin, Sally F, Kenan, and Mike Sharkey, as well as the general manager. You guys deserve medals for dealing with our shenanigans. Thank you so very much for being patient, helpful, and extremely kind.
ON-​ON!

Really loved my stay at this hotel.
The hotel is huge as it has a small convention center. There’s an adjacent parking lot/​garage next to it. The downside to the garage is that you have to pay/​day if you’re staying at the hotel. The garage is also a bit creepy and quiet at night. As for the rooms, we had a double Queen size bed room and it was perfect. The room was clean, tidy and spacious. Not sure why there are some bad reviews for this hotel, but I couldn’t find a thing to complain about other than the parking lot and the daily fee.
Oh … and most importantly, don’t forget to get your DoubleTree cookie when you check-​in!

I’m a huge fan of the Doubletree chain, and our experience here was no different! We didn’t get to experience the hotel to its max because we were traveling with two young children, but we got a top floor with two double beds, and the room was really huge and spacious. The thick, lush blackout curtains were amazing, and the beds were so comfy. The water pressure in the shower was great too. That’s pretty much all I’m looking for as a mom to a 2 and 4 year old — good sleep, space, helpful service, and cleanliness! The location is ideal too and central to everything. We also got free wi-​fi because we’re hilton rewards card holders. No complaints, except I wish we got a warm cookie instead of a cold one. Oh well, can’t have it all!

Yeah, people are not joking about the sorry state of this hotel. It’s definitely not a modern hotel by any means. I ended up picking it because it was cheap and the parking was cheap. Oh, and it was by the mall, but I didn’t end up doing anything about that anyway.
Surprisingly, the gym wasn’t bad. Machines have tvs and it’s well-​lit and pretty well maintained, though limited.
I only stayed one night, so whatever, but I wasn’t offered a cookie on check-​in! Fail.

5 stars front desk service: they greeted me with cookies and water. I was able to check in early as well.
4 stars for the room: the view was nice but there are a few towers blocking the mountain skyline. Our room was large with a couch and king sized bed. I did notice a few scruffy areas but barely noticeable.
4 stars on location: While this hotel is nice it isn’t in the prime location for the downtown hot spots. The good thing is that the streetcar is right outside. Side note that the streetcar is clean and cheap. It is right next to a mall and the conference center and is a prime spot for business travelers, although vacations stay among the «suits». Cabs are usually outside ($ 30 to airport; peak time is 3−6pm)
5 stars on hotel services: pool, gym, restaurant (one breakfast and another for lunch/​dinner), small café and room service.

Reason for visit: work conference
Visit date: October 2014
First time? Yes.
This Double Tree has a train stop just across the street — super convenient! Arriving from the airport via public transportation was simple and quick. Also, it was easy to explore environs after my conference. This Double Tree felt like it catered to business type people who travel for work. The rooms are cozy and by cozy I mean small, but still had all the essential amenities — strong shower flow, coffee pot, and lots of pillows. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I must look like a really confused and lost person because at least on two occasions I was asked if I needed help. (My local friend confirmed that people in Portland are just really nice!)
The hotel has room service, a bar/​restaurant, a buffet area, oh, and of course a chocolate chip cookie upon your arrival.
