The Westin Portland Harborview

“Great weekend getaway”

Great location, easy check in

“Nice hotel in a good location”

This hotel is in an old building (1925) but tastefully decorated, with an especially interesting design for the lobby. It is in a great location, with easy access to many downtown restaurants and shopping venues. Our front desk clerk was really great, helping arrange things so that we could have same room after our two night personal stay and before a night that came with a departing cruise. Nice room with a spacious bathroom that incuded a vanity with decent counter space and a big walk in shower with rainfall shower head. Nice linens. Everything very clean. Very quiet. Comfortable bed with nice sheets.

“Lackluster and desperately needs updating for the prices charged”

We've stayed at the Westin Portland Harborview previously, back in 2018, so we were excited to be back for another vacation in Portland.

We've stayed at the Westin Portland Harborview previously, back in 2018, so we were excited to be back for another vacation in Portland. However we were surprised to find that 8 years later the hotel has seemingly had nothing renovated or updated. The room felt trapped in time and desperately needs to be revamped. The wallpaper was peeling and TV didn't have any smart features to use our streaming apps during our stay (I feel like that's the standard at most big hotel chains of this caliber). The room wasn't very clean as there were smudges on the mirrors and the tile floor near the entryway had very visible mop streaks all over. The "harborview" we paid extra for was pretty mediocre. 3 of the 4 pillows were really uncomfortable for sleeping (the loft insanely high making them perfect for a wrecked neck in the morning) and we didn't have any extra pillows in our closet. The hotel also lost power for several hours during our first night-morning which woke us up. Was difficult to get back to sleep as we had no AC in the room. We opted to bring our dog on this trip and she was anxious the entire stay because they put us in the room directly across from the linen storage. Why you would do this knowing someone is staying with their dog is beyond me (I had pre-booked the room 2mos. in advance with additional pet fee added during booking). Our girl would hear the staff going in and out of the storage room thinking they were entering our own room and would start barking. This was a big inconvenience for us and I'm sure other guests in rooms nearby weren't thrilled about it either. One feature of the hotel that we previously enjoyed was the penthouse bar for it's fantastic view of the harbor at night - and this was something that influenced our decision to book our stay here again. However our cocktails were just okay, nothing to write home about and pricey, and we wished there were a few more options for apps. I was looking to order a cheese board but it didn't include any meats, so it didn't warrant the high price tag. One last notable disappointment was that their Wifi wasn't great as I couldn't use my VPN on any devices and we also couldn't connect our portable ring camera to keep an eye on our pup while we grabbed a quick drink at the bar. We've used it on other trips without issue, so that impacted our willingness to stay at the bar a little bit longer. Overall we left feeling disappointed and will likely try a different hotel during our next stay in Portland that offers more modern amenities and updated rooms.

“Fine and shopworn”

Main hotel in town center. A bit old and worn, but apparently works for a meeting hotel. Expensive parking with odd arrangement with city lot next door. Harborview was actually an excellent view of the parking lot, but... Very near the Portland Art Museum - and several excellent restaurants. St… lisää
