Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

8/10 Good
"First, the positives: location is perfect for a Portland visit. Easy walking distance to downtown and the harbor. Not far from the interstate. The staff was courteous and helpful when asked, and the property was clean and felt almost new. The negatives: for nearly mid-four figures a night there need to be more amenities. The in-room coffee was Motel 6 grade, and the breakfast as well. On our last morning, for whatever reason, the breakfast buffet, already rather skimpy, was missing many key items — no yogurt, no fresh fruit — and this not even midway through the service. As far as housekeeping goes, we stayed three nights, were away from the room most of each day, but our room was never made up. We did finally ask for some fresh towels and a resupply of tissues, and we are low-impact guests who really don’t need our bed made every day, but I was surprised that there wasn’t even an effort, or at least advance notice that we’d have to ask for housekeeping despite seeing them active in our corridors each day as we departed. I sensed that either the property was having trouble filling staff positions, or maybe they were being squeezed by their corporate overlords. In sum, for that much money I expected a little more, some extra touches that would elevate the experience beyond the basics."

"This was a great little spot- close to downtown Portland (about 15 mins). Very cozy rooms and I loved the hot tub. I want to go back in the summer to enjoy the beautiful patio (my trip was during a cold September weekend). Staff were friendly and helpful and their grab and go breakfast had tons of options."
