Let me first start by saying that this is a Marriott Courtyard. Over the past
few years there have been big changes in all Courtyards by Marriott from a
service standpoint. they all seemed to have slipped a little. That being said,
like all Marriott properties this is a clean and safe property near restaurants
and shopping. Now for specifics for the property. My wife and I stay here every
year on our annual visit through Oregon. It is our choice for our two nights in
Portland. The reason is simple. It is centerally located and the view of the
river is nice and for the most part its very quiet. There is also secure
undergroud parking but one downside is spaces are very small. The location was
confusing the first time , and if you are not familiar with the area , can be a
little hard to find. On one of our visits there was a Softball Tounament that
over took the hotel , but for the most part all of our visits have been quiet
and relaxing. Over all we find it much more pleasant that staying downtown.
We'll be coming back.

Let me start off by saying I am a Platinum member of Marriott and a owner of a
Marriott Timeshare in South Lake Tahoe so I stay at a lot of Marriott locations.
I think I have a good idea as to what each brand (Courtyard, Spring Hill,
Fairfield, Residence Inn, Marriott's etc.) has to offer and how their properties
should be. The Marriott Courtyard North Harbor is in a good location to the
airport with a beautiful view of the Columbia River. The building its self looks
very nice from the outside, great lobby and a very nice courtyard in the back
overlooking the Columbia River. It also has underground parking. Where is is
really lacking is the upkeep of the rooms, management and the people whom are in
front of their customers. My comments are not from just one or two stays, I have
stayed at this hotel five or six times over the last year or so. It's just very
spotty in their customer relations and room upkeep. If you can get passed the
low customer service and rooms that are in need of repair then its a good place
to stay. I am not talking major damage to the rooms, its broken old tiles in the
bathrooms, windows seals that are broken, carpet that is old and stained, beds,
towel and sheet quality is poor, underground parking always has water puddles on
the ground due to leaking pipes and/or bad drainage. The place just needs to
good management and some money to fix and upgrade the place. Really to bad as
the place has great potential to be a very very nice hotel with the location to
the Columbia River.

This was my first stay at this hotel. The TV remote in my room would not work
properly so I went to the front desk to get a replacement. That one did not work
either. I asked about getting another and it never happened. Later the same
evening I hit the exercise room and found yet another remote not working. The
Precor treadmill needs to have the belt deck waxed as it makes a horrendous
noise. Apparently the hotel housekeeping management is trying to save money by
not using fabric softener. All of the towels had the texture of sandpaper - very
uncomfortable. Some reading this review might think I am being a nitpicker but I
travel fully half the calendar year and it's stuff like this that make me
reconsider a hotel for a return stay. I just don't need it. A somewhat unique
feature of the hotel is the under-hotel parking garage. Access to the hotel
lobby and room floors can be gained from the garage. This is a really nice
feature when it is raining like crazy and you have a backpack, computer bag and
suitcase to drag into the place. The restaurant was very good and spacious. It
opens at 6:00 am. On the exercise room, there are two treadmills, an elliptical
and recumbent bike. Exercise mat also. There is a built in tv on the Life
Fitness treadmill which by the way is a really nice unit. If you can deal with
the stuff I mentioned here go for it.

OK, so it's just a Courtyard and what do I expect....Well, considering I'm a
Marriott Rewards Elite Member, I don't expect to be put next to the elevator, on
the noisiest side of the hotel. Actually quite a small room, and honestly it
didn't seem to have been upgraded with the "new" bedding and pillows. The place
was clean and efficient. And again, the hotel was quite noisy with the highway,
a train line, and the river close by. Probably won't stay here again.

We stayed at this Courtyard quite by accident, after snow forced us from Crater
Lake Lodge a day early. This is a clean, somewhat soulless place, but
inexpensive, as it's 6 miles from downtown Portland (easily reached from I-5).
Ask for discounts (AAA, AARP) and for about $100 you'll get a QQ room w/ a river
view. We left early for a trip up the Columbia River Gorge, and this was an
ideal starting point for that journey.
