Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center
"Lobby was dirty, room was booked for 3 people and only 2 towels were given. No tissues and no cleaning of the room. You have to leave your car with the valet ($52 per night) and then the valet employee plays around with the drivers seat and the air vents."
