Top Southwest Portland Hotel Reviews

University Place Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel. But our beds were comfortable & the room was clean. The staff were all kind & nice."

Dossier Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was nice and clean when we arrived, restaurant had great food, amazing location. Staff were generally nice and helpful, except for one weird incident where a guy at the counter told us that the daily $10 food and beverage credit was just for the restaurant and didn’t apply to stuff from the lobby, even though the other staff we talked to before and after clarified that it did. only a couple of things I took issue with: 1) the tv in our room was functionally useless as it had no access to live tv and no way of signing into streaming services 2) the $75 per night incidental hold that was not disclosed anywhere when I booked, would’ve been nice to know of ahead of time as I was using a debit card on a tight budget. otherwise, this is a nice hotel at an amazing location for a decent price, recommend it if you’re planning to do a lot downtown."
