DoubleTree by Hilton Portland

I’m sick of being misled and surprised with fees. When I stay at a hotel I expect “fees and taxes”, but hotels are becoming predatory. I expect to pay for parking, but $31 dollars a night when that wasn’t mentioned at booking is frustrating. They said it was a $50 deposit, but when I got there it turned out to be $50 dollars per night and they take most of it thru the parking fee. So they promise a return knowing full well they keep it thru parking. Plus what am I paying for if there’s no security at the parking garage? Total rip off. The stay itself was pleasant, I was expecting my $100 deposit back. And I’m only getting $38 dollars. $62 dollars and the garage isn’t secure and smells like bodily fluids. ! I like the hotel, but the fees are misleading. They have to be honest and reasonable at some point. From now on I’m asking all the questions before booking and won’t be going back for this dishonesty.

The staff. Very kind and very helpful.

Bathroom was not very clean

Clean, comfortable and a FABULOUS staff. Took the time to give us perfect walking directions to the Bruce Springsteen show. Food at lobby restaurant was great (grilled cheese, so good). Love this hotel.

Paying for parking.

I loved the location and the friendliness of the staff

The single queen bed rooms are tiny
