The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property. High parking fees"

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in a great location to all the downtown areas. We were able to walk everywhere. I didn't give it 5 stars, because I didn't know that there would be a $40 a day valet parking. It might have been somewhere in the fine print, but I missed it. The room was super quiet even with the next room being occupied. Partly I think the fan of the heating/AC unit drowned out the sounds. The fan never went off. It didn't matter the temperature. We didn't eat there either, so I'm not sure how the restaurant was."
