In Short
Warm chocolate chip cookies greet every guest at this Hilton-owned hotel, a friendly touch that fits in with the hotel's business-casual attitude. Another way Doubletree helps its guests relax is the Sweet Dreams bed, which features a pillow-top mattress, high thread-count linens, down comforters and lots of jumbo pillows. Amenities also include high-speed Internet access, in-room coffeemaker and complimentary newspaper; properties also typically feature a swimming pool, a fitness center and a range of meeting facilities.

Comfortable and convenient

by sharopooks

Wow, sorry previous reviewers had negative experiences, but we really enjoyed our recent stay at the Doubletree. Front desk staff is friendly & helpful; love the warm cookies upon check-in. Asked to change to a room away from the elevator, the staff accommodated the change expediently and w/ smiles. Queen rooms are a bit small but comfy (knew someone staying in a double room w/ 2 beds; their room was huge w/ a balcony and "Sweet Dreams" pillows, we were jealous!) . Rooms are nice & clean, beds are comfortable. Room service food was tasty. The little cafe-like counter in the lobby was good for picking up coffee and pastries on the go. The fitness center was fine - predomniantly cardio machines with 1 toning multi-use unit. Proximity to the MAX train was a real convenience, loved that. I could see both business travelers and vacationers enjoying their stays here. Would stay here again.

• Pros: nearby MAX, cookies, comfortable
• Cons: Small queen rms

The Horror!

by yippyskippy

I have made reservations twice at this hotel to attend a work-sponsored party, and each time I am given a smoking room, DESPITE making reservations for a NON smoking room far in advance!!! Apparently entire floors of "luxury" suites in this hotel are reserved for smoking. Given the service and clientele, I would NOT recommend. Stay away!

• Pros: Close to Lloyd Center
• Cons: Close to Lloyd Center, UGLY views, Fetid odor

Very Disappointing

by mchartz

Every summer, I take my family to a local hotel for swimming and shopping - like a vacation near home. This hotel advertised "the largest non-suite rooms in Portland" and these are not large. I get two rooms and they could not get two connecting. The one for the kids had not enough room left for a foldout bed. We cancelled the rollaway but were charged for it anyway.

This hotel advertised a heated outdoor pool but the water was frigid. They also advertised beautiful views but ours was of the roof. Finally, I am opposed to paying extra money to park at the hotel I am paying to stay at. No one likes being nickel and dimed to death.

Overall, I would not recommend staying here.

• Pros: clean, near mall, near max
• Cons: nearly all else

Doubletree, Portland

by tlc1958

Overall, our atay there was not a positive experience. It began with a $12 per night parking charge,which we were not informed of ahead of time, and an "I don't care" attitude was shown by the desk clerk.

• Pros: Adequate room
• Cons: , parking, long walk from lobby
