The Duniway Portland, A Hilton Hotel

Check-in was smooth, the staff at the front desk were nice and answered any questions I had, the room was very nice and it was also clean. The parking lot is accessible via elevator through the hotel which was very convenient.

My only complaint would be that the pillows could have been nicer. Not the comfiest pillows especially compared to other hotels. We only stayed one night but I think if we stayed longer I would have let the staff know and I'm sure they would have done their best to find better ones. Safety of our vehicle in the parking lot was a huge concern for us prior to and during the trip. Not the hotel's fault but more so the current state of downtown Portland. Our vehicle was fine because we took the necessary precautions but we did see one minivan with their rear window smashed and overheard that their luggage had been stolen. Just something to be weary of.

Room clean and with a decent view from it's top floor. Big TV and able to connect by chromecast to your media accounts: Netflix, Amazon, and other entertainment sites.

Pillows are massive and bed very hard. Not sure it's worth to stay in downtown. The city is very dissapointing. Feels like its not alive. I'm sure you can get a better rate for your buck, outside DT. Parking is a challenge. We chose vallet parking just because the parking is offsite (nearby) but inconvenient. It is just another regular DT parking lot that doesn't belong to the hotel.

I wanted this stay to be EXTRA special. We were in town to see my favorite artist on NYE, and my 40th birthday was 6 days away. I decided to treat myself. When choosing a hotel for this visit, I looked at 4 criteria: Distance to MODA Breakfast included Parking-safety and price Upscale/Luxe experience at a reasonable price. The Duniway checked ALL the boxes. We stayed New Years Eve thru January 2nd. I chose The Duniway for many reasons, one being the close proximity to The MODA center. We were in town for Brandi Carlile's NYE Party. The Duniway is only a 1.6 mile Uber ride away, and we took the MAX back to the hotel after the concert. Perfect location! The Duniway is BEAUTIFUL. You are instantly greeted with an impressive lobby that looks into the bar and the restaurant beyond. A rich, dark interior with warm lighting, beautiful nature/dystopian inspired paintings, and surprising funky hidden nicknacks. We had a city view room with 2 queen beds. The beds were cozy and I loved spending time on the window seat or chaise/couch staring out at the city. The bathroom was modern black and white with high-end shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and soaps available. There was no microwave, but they brought one to us! Really liked being able to cast a movie I purchased on Amazon to the enormous TV. Breakfast was to die for. No continental buffet here! (We had the inclusive breakfast package on our room, so not an extra dime beyond our room total was spent on any food mentioned in this review.) It was sit down dining and the waitstaff came to you to take your order. We had the breakfast Banh Mi and holy smokes. So delicious. I had a latte and the blueberry crumb cake both mornings in addition to the Banh Mi. One of the fees towards the room was actually credited back to us to use in their restaurant. $26/day. We were unaware that their restaurant required reservations, so that first night we ate across the street at The Hilton.

The bathroom was not well lit. There was a lighted makeup mirror, but it must have not been working properly because it was so dim. Fridge was the tiniest mini fridge I've ever seen in a hotel. However, we were able to fit all the snacks we brought-fresh fruit and vege, some drinks, and a couple Stouffers mac n cheese for inevitablelate late-night munchies, and restaurant leftovers so it was ultimately not a problem. Pool could have been warmer.

Love the aesthetic of the building, there was a pool, gym, and human sized chess set in the middle of the hotel. Very cool. The view from our window of Downtown Portland was awesome. The room was fairly large and the bathroom was as well with a nice walk-in shower. The parking garage was actually connected to the hotel and we didn’t have to drive to some random alley way to park in some mysterious parking garage like other places in the PNW (WA, OR, CA). It was perfectly located for a nice little walk to Powells bookstore or Voodoo Donuts, just be mindful of the homeless population. A man walked into the Helen Market with a knife grabbed two popsicles and walked out. But for the most part the area felt safe.

For the price and the aesthetic, I thought the AC would work better. It never felt “cool” whether it was just too many people and the hot air or the AC just didn’t work that well for being 100 degrees, the hotel and rooms just weren’t that cold at all. The bed was comfy but the pillow were amongst the worst I’ve ever slept on. Went flat in seconds. Woke up both nights with a neck ache. But other than that it was a great place!

Jenifer and front staff were amazing! We loved everything about this hotel! The rooms were perfect, the beds were COMFTY and the hotel smell was so clean! The 65 inch tv with Chromecast was great for the kids! We loved the prohibited theme and decor. The kids enjoyed the pool! It was raining so the terrace wasn't able to be used. But it was a very nice set up! We will be back in the summer time!

The garage is pretty low (so if you drive a truck like us) make sure you can make the clearance. We had a couple inches to spare, but a lifted big truck definitely couldn't take in there.

I love this hotel I’ve stayed here the three times I’ve visited Portland. It it a great location walking distance to shopping center and short drive away from many attractions. Clean friendly staff always. Bar has great drink haven’t tried their restaurant.

I hate paying for parking it is expensive. Also I didn’t like the bathroom I got this last time looked like a motel bathroom. The first two times I had a nice bathroom with glass doors. They said double queen rooms don’t have the nice bathroom. Small but I love me a nice bathroom!!(:

Centrally located within walking distance of lots of restaurants, bars and Target! Family friendly, pet friendly! The staff was SUPER friendly and accommodating the whole week we stayed.

The restaurant mean for dinner at the bar could have more easy quick bar type items while keeping the more creative culinary mean with the restaurant.

because of starlight parade we were not able to park at the hotel, but rather a couple of blocks away in a random parking garage. Other than that, the only problems were that the internet and chromecast didn’t work. the blueberry coffee cake was also WAY TOO SUGARY. I couldn’t eat it and asked the waiters to please tell the cool to cool down on the sugar.

The room was great. Clean. Simple. The pool was a little underwhelming but it's a pool so.... Unfortunately the handicap lift wasn't working (and looks like it's not worked for a decade). A hot tub would have been a bonus.

The Handicap lift isn't working in the pool (and looks like it's been decommissioned for a decade). Not good.

Beautiful and clean property, the view is gorgeous, the shower had great pressure and the bed was soooooo comfortable!
