The Hilton Portland Downtown was the host hotel for the 2018 Portlandathon Marathon. Convenient location next to restaurants, nightlife and all Portland has to offer (which is a lot-looked like great theater and symphony options closeby that I would have liked to check out, but no time). The service at the hotel was friendly and everyone was very helpful, we especially liked the concierge service from Ian and Brenda and Samantha and Sarah at the front desk. Ian and Brenda helped arrange a car service to take us wine tasting after the marathon-we went to the Dundee area and tasted Dobbes, Torri Mor and Lange, all fun and top notch wineries. I also used and recommend the fitness center, which was well appointed and convenient, used it to loosen up the day after the marathon before we took off for the airport. All in all a great experience and highly recommended area and hotel. Only downside was I heard someone say the Hilton would not give extended/late checkout for those running the marathon-we were not leaving until the next day, so no impact on us, but if true that is pretty bad form for the host hotel.
