I've stayed here before and it was fine. Nothing fancy but great location and views of the harbor. This time was pretty miserable, Lumpy, stained mattress with torn mattress cover, clogged sink, no coffee for the coffee maker. The young man at the desk responded to my considerable distress by refunding our parking fee, which was something I guess. He suggested that if I return, I should request a room with a new mattress. Maybe when the renovation is finished things will be better, but at present their quality control needs a huge improvement.

Friendly staff, but I don’t like having to pay for parking and buffet is very expensive

Though there were renovations going on, it didn't impact our stay. We were too busy exploring the city to use the other amenities, but we LOVED the free shuttle service. Not only did they take us to and from the airport (very promptly), but all around the city (within a certain radius) which really helped stretch our short time in Portland! The room was clean and we were thankful for the little marketplace off the lobby.
