"We had a washcloth left hanging from a prior guest. There was quite a bit of dust left on the windowsill. A coffee pod was left in the coffee pot from the prior guest. No hand soap in the bathroom. Housekeeping is the only complaint. The check in was great, courteous service. The bar staff was great, no complaints. They offered fresh, hot cookies which were great with check in. There was a lot of traffic nosie. We were on the interstate side of the hotel. Pool would be good for cooler weather. The pool room was almost to hot to sit and watch your child."

Courtyard by Marriott Portland Airport

8/10 Good
"Very clean and beds were very comfortable. The beds had normal size pillows, and duvets. The stay was fine, front desk and staff were very nice. But even with the air condition on in the room for some reason it was extremely humid and muggy in the room. More so than outside. the weather was great. The bathroom light didn't work only the shower light, and the restaurant wasn't open anytime we were awake.if they were, it must've been very early in the morning, for a very short time because we were there all day for 3 nights, and there was nothing going on in the way of food or restaurant. We went out at night and came back and there was nowhere to get any food, except snacks in the lobby. It wouldn't be a problem, but when I read about the hotel it said there was a fantastic restaurant. Maybe I read wrong but I do love Marriott. It was just unfortunate. Next time we may stay in a different Marriott."
