엠버시 스위트 바이 힐튼 포틀랜드 티가드

This has been our go to hotel when we’re in the area for awhile now and honestly, I never know how it’s going to be. Pros: rooms large enough for my large family for a decent price. Decent breakfast spread. Happy hour with snacks is a plus. The staff is always fantastic. The beds are comfortable. I usually sleep pretty good, and I’m particular on my mattress. Cons: Room cleanliness, mainly the bathrooms, has been more miss than hit. It’s not uncommon to find random, long hairs in the shower. The facility has been well used and the wear and tear shows. Maybe it’s because we typically get stuck on the “family” floors that it’s more evident, but the old gal needs a little TLC. Noise can be an issue depending on the weekend. This weekend there was a particularly rowdy basketball team (Seattle Prep…) that was very disruptive at the pool. They also happened to be on our same floor and were running laps and playing Marco Polo until close to 10pm. This all is not necessarily the hotels fault, but more of a heads up that it’s not uncommon to have a rambunctious group of kids causing chaos while their parents are doing who knows what. Lastly, the pool. For the capacity of this hotel, the pool is entirely too small. This will still probably remain one of main places when we travel to the area because the room sizes for price is hard to beat and the breakfast is one of the better ones. However, the noise issues and people’s lack of keeping their own kids under control kind of make me want to venture out.
