The Bidwell Marriott Portland

We stayed at the Bidwell for a short visit after our Alaskan cruise out of Seattle Washington. Upon arrival, I experienced extreme dental pain and was having trouble being able to bite many foods. Anna from the the high horse went above and beyond to help me. She recommended some pasta for me that would be easy to swallow, she found salt packets for me to bring back to my room, and she genuinely was concerned for me. The next night she even checked in on me when we went back to the bar. This was greatly appreciated knowing the pain I was in and the fact that I couldn’t get home for a few more days. She is a true asset to your hotel staff!

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, in the heart of Portland; however, difficult to access for disabled guests. The curb in front of the hotel is extremely high so disabled guests who use a walker or cane may need to walk all the way down to the curb cutout and back up to the entrance of the hotel, walking in traffic if a vehicle is already parked in the designated handicapped parking spot. The beds are on the low side which can be difficult for guests with certain kinds of mobility restrictions (my husband has cerebral palsy and a spinal fusion so low furniture is difficult for him). The ADA bathroom is a relatively low tub/shower combination with a bench so showering requires the ability to transfer to and from the shower bench so keep that in mind if you require an accessible room. Breakfast was good, and you do get a $25 discount on your spending at the restaurant for the resort fee. We would probably not stay here again as we would drive to any place we would like to go in Portland; however, if you are wanting to walk, the location is great for central Portland.

Our friends and family stayed here for an event. The location was perfect, we could walk to dinner and shopping. The staff all over the hotel was really nice and accommodating. Our room was very clean and looked over the tree covered hills of Portland. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Stayed here for the weekend. Sadly (nothing to do with hotel) Portland is just gone downhill, so our weekend was dampened by the situation in the city. That being said the main areas lobby bar was nice, modern and clean. The lady behind the bar, Eastern European I believe had a bit of an attitude, and it was quite obvious. All other staff 5 stars and couldn't do enough for us. Reception team awesome! Room was spacious enough, nice big bed, but it looked like someone stopped cleaning midway. It wasn't vacuumed, the shampoo/conditioner and shower gel bottles were all empty and we had to request to change the bedding. So yeah that was not ideal.

Close walking distance to shopping. Great service!! Breakfast and snacks were the same both days...eh.. but fresh : . A little variety would help. Rooms very clean.
