I stayed in the Portland, OR Marriott Residence Inn and while I can't speak for all, have a feeling this entire chain rocks. Every single person I met... was not only courteous and personable, but genuinely kind, often going out of their way to help me physically, or making extra suggestions that made a big difference in the enjoyment and comfort of my stay. Several times hotel staff let me use the hot tub after very long conference after-parties that went past the posted time the pool/hot tub area was open. A staff person helped me with the electrical connections in the room and thoughtfully brought several extension cords that I needed but hadn't actually asked for. Another staffer held a breakfast and a morning paper for me when an extended meeting made it impossible for me to attend during regular breakfast. I could go on. The breakfasts are also GREAT: eggs, a meat item like bacon or ham, biscuits and gravy, waffles, yogurt, oj, coffee - all you could want. I was impressed by the size of the rooms (huge, and I had a studio!) and the kitchen. It's a full kitchen, not just a hot plate. Stove with oven, microwave, full sized fridge, dishwasher, dishes and pots and pans for cooking. I could have stayed several months very comfortably. The only negative was smell. Room was listed as nonmoking, but smelled like rooms in Vegas I've had where they simply spray room freshener over the last person's smoke. Overall though, STELLAR. I'll stay here in preference to others now. by Cora W from San Francisco, CA on 07/26/11
