The Westin Portland

05/30/2006 Posted by profwho

Have stayed here several times and find it to be a great hotel. I typically stay on the "backside" of the hotel, so I don't hear a lot of noise. This time was no exception - quiet, clean, and very nice. Bathrooms are fab with the double shower heads. The heavenly bed was FABULOUS as always. I am not sure why they don't go free on the wireless, that's a tad annoying. And, as always, part in the SMART Park which is just 1-1/2 blocks away for much cheaper than the valet there which is quite high (mostly b/c they have very little valet space). You can get in and out much quicker if you just self park in the nearby SMART PARKING. Stayed again this July 07 and fine again. Go for it. I got a good rate by prepaying a couple of weeks in advance.

Pros: clean, high quality

I have stayed at Westin on 3 separate occasions and have been more impressed each time I stay. The property is ideally located downtown. The staff is friendly and eager to help, the rooms I have seen are spacious and the beds are just like home. Although the price can be spendy at times and the parking is inconvenient and expensive, it doesn't outweigh what a great property this is to spend an evening or two.Hea

Pros: Heavenly Bed, Heavenly Shower, Service

Cons: Parking

The heavenly bed, and bath were amazing. Parking was expensive at 22.00 a day. The room service breakfast left something to be desired. You will be treated well. You will sleep and bathe well. Of course it goes without saying that everything here costs money. No vending machines. I would stay at the Westin again simply for the heavenly bed, and spacious bathroom. The hotel was suprisingly quiet considering it's downtown location. The only problem was the call I made upon leaving the front desk. The front desk clerk said he didn't have time to deal with my issue.

Pros: Heavenly bed, Heavenly Shower, Quiet and Calm

Cons: Expensive parking

My wife and I stayed here on our wedding night and everything was great! My only complaint is that the maid knocked on our door the next day to ask if we wanted service, even thought the DO NOT DISTURB sign was on the door. To me, "Do not disturb" means just that! It was after noon, but still... Everything else was great, and our jacuzzi tub was very nice. The bed was comfortable and the view was great. Everything was clean and the staff were VERY hospitable. I highly recommend this hotel!

Pros: Amenities, Service, Hospitality

Cons: Parking

I have stayed in all the hotels in downtown Portland and stayed at the Westin because of the rave reviews; we booked a suite; not only was it really small but it was overpriced and when we got there they had us in a smoking room with NO jacuzzi bath; it was a small normal sized hotel room with a normal sized bath- I would stay somewhere else and not here again; it felt like a chain hotel something like a holiday inn and nothing like other hotels in the same price range

Pros: comfy beds

Cons: overpriced, small, un-unique

We never opened the door, they did it for us. When you call the front desk they always address you by your name. his hotel, I will stay at more. It lives up to the westin name.

ive stayed at nearly 20 hotels this year (on business) and this is most definitely in the top 3 with the ritz carlton and the regeant. the beds are amazing, the shower is amazing, the staff and service are nearly perfect. the people are very friendly. the restaurant is phenominal for brunch or breakfast (dinner not so good....) it even has a very nice fragrance. rooms a very quiet as well. parking is kinda expensive tho $20 per day. my only regret was that i didnt tip as much as i should have... considering how nice and helpful everyone was. next time!

Pros: bed, shower, brunch

My wife now has me hooked on staying downtown at the Westin! The rooms are fit for a king, the service from the moment you drive up is excellent, from the doorman, to the valet, front desk clerks with a smile and helpful, and finally to the bellman who has the manners of a prince. Once you stay at the Westin, you'll always want to come back.
