• Friendly staff.
• Closing bar/eating facility at 10 & lack of real bar.

“Good for families. We were looking forward to a drink and good dinner but due to trouble locating the hotel did not arrive until after 10. Hotel staff was wonderful in that they sold us drinks in spite of fact that bar was closed. We just expected something that hotel did not have. But it is excellent for families especially with children.”

• All of the above. Clean, attractive, friendly staff. Great!
• The breakfast buffet was awful. The served burnt potatoes. Too expensive for what they served.

“I am very pleased. Except the breakfast. I understand it's really not a restaurant, but I would think they would demand more quality to match the quality of the hotel itself.”

• Excellent shuttle service to the airport, 24 hours and only a 2 minute trip.
• Water glass has dirty.

“Excellent hotel for my purposes, which was to catch a 6 AM flight. The hotel is located next to the airport and has 24 hour shuttle service. I was able to drop off my rental on Sunday, return to the hotel via the shuttle Sunday night and take the shuttle to the airport at 6 AM Monday morning. My only complaint is that one of the water glasses was dirty even though it had one of those cardboard caps on it which is supposed to mean it was clean. As a result, I was never sure what was clean in the room and what was not.”

• Breakfast should be included (What: can the Hiltons not afford to give out one f-ing bagel?).

“The bed was very comfortable and the bath was deep and I especially liked the Neutrogena products.”

• No noisy bathroom fan running when the light is on. A huge plus in my opinion.
• Smoke odor in corridor near rear entrance when we entered.

“This hotel completely met my expectations. Friendly, professional, prompt check in. Room was very clean and was well equipped (decent cable TV channel selection, free wireless internet, refrigerator, microwave, iron & board, comfortable mattress, sufficient storage space). I'd certainly return again and recommend it to my friends and family.”

• I thought the whole feeling of the hotel was really good beautiful lobby, homey warm feeling beautiful light room looks out over trees.
• The restaurant was too exposed in the lobby essentially and therefore not inviting.

“Overall I totally loved the hotel. It was low key, warm feeling, convenient, beautiful without that dreadful funneled music and it had a feeling of sophistication not decorated in an ugly way like so many hotels. I was very pleased.”

• Room was comfortable and spacious.
• Very close to airport- heard planes braking throughout the night.

“Overall, hotel was nice and room was a good but I would have been disappointed had we paid their rack rate. Pool and Gym facilities looked good, but didn't have a chance to use them. I should have double checked the location, as this hotel is literally across the street from the Portland airport, and the noise from jets braking upon landing went throughout the night. Perhaps a room on the other side of hotel would have been quieter.”

• Check in/out was very easy and staff very friendly.
• Ended up in a smoking room and as non smokers with two children. It was very noticeable.

“Very nice place to stay convenient to mall and met our needs for this trip-staff friendly, however our room was switched to a smoking room, so we had to go buy some room freshener to cover it as we had our children with us and are both non-smokers. Other than that, great place to stay-would recommend it highly.”

• Nice rooms and safe convenient location.
• Check in did not go smooth, hallways needed trash pick-up, and they added extra charges to room.

“Went to check in (30 minutes early) room was not ready (that was fine), came back 2 hours later and room was still not ready. They gave me another room, got to that room and someone was already in it! Finally got a room, hallway had lots of dishes, etc. from room service that had not been cleaned up and our new room had a stack of empty pizza boxes outside it. At check out extra charges were added to room, stating we ate at the restaurant, which we did not, and charges were removed from bill. Overall hotel was nice, but disorganized.”

• The staff was friendly and helpful and the beds, with their down comforters and fluffy pillows, were fantastic for two very weary travelers.
• The restaurant's breakfast was rather expensive, with a continental breakfast costing $6.

“The Hilton Garden Inn, Portland is a wonderful hotel close to the airport and the mall. It is new and beautifully furnished, with comfortable beds and lovely rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a small indoor pool and hot tub, a complimentary full service business center, high speed Internet access, and a restaurant (Our only complaint was that the breakfast was too expensive... $6, I believe for a simple continental breakfast). The best part about our stay was the staff. Our flight was delayed and we didn't get to check in to the hotel till 2 am, but we were met by a friendly, smiling face, who told us that he would extend our check-out as late as 2 pm if we needed to sleep in. We were very grateful for the offer!”

• Quiet for being at the airport.
• Surly desk clerk, very uncomfortable bed, room requested wasn't what they gave us, breakfast dishes in hallway late afternoon, dirty coffee pot.

“Many might enjoy this hotel - business travelers needing something close to the airport, for example. However, don't expect the most comfortable beds. The coffee pot wasn't clean. The room we requested (and confirmed twice) wasn't what they had ready for us. The desk clerk copped an attitude when we asked her to give us what we reserved. There were breakfast dishes in the hallway when we went up to the room - at 4 in the afternoon! Many of the cable channels were snowy. Only one computer in the business center. If you travel with a laptop this won't be a problem since there is high speed access in the rooms. Perhaps we arrived on an off day. Otherwise, this hotel is no better or worse than your average 2 1/2 star hotel.”
