Hotels Near Knott City Park in Portland

It is a good property if you have business in the area, the rooms are spacious enough, there is a small pool and tiny garden space, but as I value open windows and fresh air I was not best please. Just fine for business purposes but I would not recommend for the holiday traveler. Some rooms are above the local light rail station make sure you are NOT placed on that side of the hotel. Food service was above average for this type of hotel but there is no room service beyond dinner at this time.

Hotel location is very good, travel is very convenient. The room is also very comfortable, the design is very exquisite and practical, and the scenery outside the window is invincible. The front desk girl and the restaurant girl are very good.

It’s an old hotel…, in downtown. It’s close to Apple store.., like 10-15 minutes walking. Good room.., I got a Studio King suite. No problems with the elevators.. Very good breakfast.. (tasty omelet). There are some beggars sleeping (inhabiting) the sidewalks around the hotel. I’d stay again..!!

The hotel itself, front desk staff, restaurant, and rooms are fabulous. The price was great for all that. Really impressed with the size of the room, the bathroom, the décor, the amenities, quality, look/feel, service, etc. That was the highlight for my trip, and if this hotel were located somewhere else, I'd come here every time. That said, the location of the hotel being in the worst of downtown Portland, coupled with ridiculous (literally, jaw dropping stunning) parking challenges, makes this a no-go for a recommendation. It's hard to believe they have no parking structure, and must only use valet or (unsafe) street parking. Even getting to the hotel is difficult because so many streets nearby are closed. I called and asked how/where I was supposed to park, and was told it was just valet, and to find any spot in front and double park (which I did). I actually had to park in a bus stop, left my blinkers on, and gave my key to the valet. 45 minutes later, I could still see my vehicle on the street from my 10th floor room, so I went down to the valet and expressed my concern that I was going to either get a ticket or get towed. He said he was very overworked, had started his shift at 2pm (it was 11pm at this time), hadn't had lunch or a break, that the parking was almost at capacity, and he ”hoped” he would get to it later. While I was talking to him, two other guests interrupted (presumably with the same concern) and decided to park on the street and risk it. 20 minutes later, my vehicle did finally get parked. In the morning, one of my antennas was snapped off and sitting on my front seat. Par for the course... I wish I had known how bad the parking situation was beforehand, because I would never have chosen this place. It's a shame too, since the hotel and room were awesome. If you're taking a taxi or ride share to the hotel, and don't intend to go out, then this is a winner. If you have a vehicle of any kind, don't even bother. It's an exercise in frustration and annoyance.

This was our first time in Portland and we had no real idea what expect of the city and surrounding area. If you do any reading, your head can spin. Only you can decide what you can tolerate. We were there for a wedding with a big, multi-generational group and this hotel was perfect for our purposes. As suites, the rooms had more-than-typical-hotel-room space. We used the kitchen area for leftovers and snacks. The extra sink was handy. The lighting was decent, the USB ports and number of outlets were good. Everyone had some room to spread out. The beds were what I expect from Marriott - super comfortable and we all slept well. Our room faced the interior courtyard and none of us had problems with noise. The hallways were noisy with kids running, but that's everywhere now. There were two things about the room that stood out and made the made it hard to maneuver for us, and that was the lack of drawer storage and that the only clothing storage was the hallway between the bedroom and bathroom. With four of us in the room and only TWO drawers, where are we all supposed to put almost a weeks worth of clothing? Yes, they are big drawers, but not nearly big enough. The closet, as usual, has a minimal number of hangers. We pack as lightly as possible but we were there for a special event and had some extra clothing. To add insult to injury, the bathroom door swings into the space where the two drawers open and the closet doors open. If a person tries to come out of the bathroom when another person is either in the closet or has a drawer open, there will be a collision (or the person in the bathroom is stuck inside). It's a huge cluster. Who thought that was a good idea? Maybe other rooms aren't designed like this. The common areas of the hotel were clean and well kept. The room card was needed to access the elevator and public restrooms. The breakfast in the morning was great. Lilia, one of the women who worked in the breakfast area, was so kind to our family, especially my mother-in-law. The workers, and she in particular, provided exceptional service every morning. Usually I'm not impressed with hotel breakfasts but I thought this one did it quite well. In the evenings, we almost always gathered at happy hour. With folks in our group of different ages from different parts of the country, being able to hang out together and relax in such a nice environment was what we needed. David and Ted were attentive and charming. They kept the drinks and appetizers flowing. For this, again, the hotel was perfect for us and the service was top notch. Transportation is easy at this location. Union Station is so close. The streetcar is not far. It's never difficult to get an Uber. There are also many restaurants and stores to explore just in the nearby neighborhood. We had a rental car delivered for three days of our time in Portland, to be able to explore beyond the city. It was very easy, and cheap, to park the car in the nearby parking garage. We worried

I spend 100 nights per year in just Hilton brands alone. I'm middle aged and not high maintenance. Additionally due to my industry/company I've been required to travel during the entire COVID nightmare. I totally understand the challenges and changes the pandemic brought to hotels and have a great deal of respect for the hospitality industry as a whole. This is my 4th time being a guest at this property and honestly there are no major issues. In general property, guest rooms, staff and location are all great! This is more a full-service hotel and a considerable step above your typical Hampton Inn format/experience. A few minor irritates: No shampoo in my room or at front desk. Was told they ran out? No loaner guest umbrellas. Was told they ran out? Limited breakfast hours and no to-go bagged breakfasts on the weekends? Regards to homeless/transient problem that plagues Portland. It's considerably better/cleaner around the hotel and Pearl district than just a year ago. I have no issues walking around by myself or concern about parking my car on the surrounding streets (except some park blocks are still dicey).

Our car was having issues all last night being Oct8,2022 and James the mechanic in the morning diagnosed it and figured out the issue and fixed it. Life saver without his help we would of been stranded for who knows how long.

I don’t understand the glowing reviews & photos are definitely deceiving. I should have captured the armed security guards all over the place and the homeless drug addicts shooting up on the street. I have never been so relieved to leave Portland. What a gorgeous city overcome with homeless tent camps and sad addicts freebasing on every corner. Tried to walk a few blocks to dinner but had to Uber back in order to be safe. Thankfully we didn’t bring our children but it would have been such an education on why not to try drugs. Luckily our car was not broken in to (see past reviews) however a homeless person clearly made it onto our floor screaming at 5am since the elevator’s card reader to make it onto upper floors was not operational. We were mostly deceived by AmEx as this property was listed as a Fine Hotels property. It is not but I would say the others listed were not either (the Nines was much nicer but more addicts were down that way. Another old hotel but nice hotels in Portland are few & far between). Love this city but I will not be back until it is cleaned up and the Ritz Carlton opens. All of this said, the staff at the Duniway are doing their best with what they have to work with. We experienced great customer service, clean rooms, and comfortable rooms. The hotel desperately needs an update though. What made our stay a positive one is that we left unharmed, found some great restaurants (go to the Pearl District), and spent all day away from Portland at Hood River or the Oregon coast.

Conveniently located at the heart of Portland. Charges $55 for parking even with hotel reservations. Wi-Fi cost money if you don’t sign up for Hilton honors program, not a problem since phone connection is good in downtown. Bathroom still had stains from prior guests….would not recommend to anyone.

The location is very good, centrally located, the best shopping in Portland is within one kilometer, very convenient
