4. After reading the other reviews of this particular hotel I thought it might be helpful to point out that those of us who travel frequently and have joined Marriott Rewards (I'm a gold level member) are given perks that are usually not available to casual travelers - things like bathrobes and upgraded amenities in the room, a room on a higher floor with a view, room upgrades, access to the concierge lounge (free full breakfast buffet), etc. That said, I have always found this hotel to be well run, with a helpful staff, extremely comfortable (and quiet!) rooms and a location that couldn't be better - right in downtown Portland.
