Embassy Suites: Portland Downtown

For our trip this past weekend, we decided to stay at the Embassy Suites - Downtown. The location was perfect, as it was a block away from Voodoo Doughnuts, the Saturday Market, Portland Grill, and two tram lines.

The cost was $159 a night for a two room suite. The suite had two beds and a pull out couch, which worked perfected for a group of three guys.

The hotel has an old feel to it. The lobby has the old time grandeur to it.

The reception desk is to your left after entering the front door:

Check-in took less than 5 minutes. Which was very especially nice at 1am and flying in from the east coast. After checking-in, we were off to room 611:

The room was a corner suite and opened directly into the living room.

The couch turned into a bed (my bed). It had a firm mattress and a soft mattress pad. It wasn't the best bed, but it worked.

This area had a desk:

And a wet bar with a sink and refrigerator:

The main bedroom had two queen beds, a closet, and a very large TV. However, it did not have much light:

Sorry for the dark picture: forgot to take one in daylight

The bathroom was in the hallway leading to the bedroom. It was very large, but nothing special.

The hallways were bright, but tactful 

The hotel had a pool and gym downstairs. The gym is 24 hours and pool operates from 6am to 12pm.

I was unable to get pictures of pool because there were kids in it the 2 times, I went to go take pictures. It look awesome and plenty of places for people to lounge.

The hotel has a restaurant, Portland Prime. It is only open for Lunch and Dinner:

In the basement, there is a large dining room where breakfast is served and manger's reception held:

Also, downstairs is a game room with arcade type games:

 Overall, the hotel was a great place to stay. It had the comforts needed for a quick getaway and was located in walking distance. Also, for $5 we rode the trams all day long to various destinations, never having to wait long for the next one. The cherry on the top of this sundae, was the pull out couch, allowing all of us to have out own "bed"

If a mileage run has me in PDX again, Embassy Suites, here I come.
