TownePlace Suites by Marriott Portland Beaverton

The value is what sticks with me. The comfort and care felt like more than I'd expect for the rate, and I'd happily come back. Check-in was smooth and calm, with a reception team that was warm, efficient, and attentive from the start. My room was spotless and very quiet. Breakfast was simple, but seemed thoughtfully prepared, and the peaceful surroundings made it easy to get a deep night's sleep.

The breakfast was the best I've had at a hotel, and I've stayed in places all over the States. They also had fresh-baked cookies every day, including a gluten-free option. I'm not usually into gluten-free food, but that cookie was so good it was the only one I ate during my stay. The room was cleaner than I'd expected, and the housekeeping staff were really nice. When I arrived, the staff welcomed me warmly and chatted with me about things beyond my stay instead of just getting straight to business. I'd definitely stay again if I'm ever in Oregon.

The staff were super friendly and helped a lot with a booking issue we had. We also loved the fresh cookies they put out every day. We were here for a business trip, which was fine, though there isn't much happening nearby. Beaverton old town is about a 20-minute walk and has some nice food options. The rooms don't block much sound, and with the freeway close by, I'd bring earplugs.

Breakfast was excellent, and the handwritten welcome notes in our simple room made us smile. We found them before we arrived, and after driving across the mountains, that little touch helped us relax. The staff were wonderful.
