Element by Marriott Portland Beaverton

Everything

Really nice touches in the kitchenette, actually has some plates and utensils and filtered drinking water! The pool was refreshing but it's really small! There is a nice little path and daylighter stream for a short walk behind the hotel. Very clean throughout.

The bed was ok in terms of comfort. The breakfast is super spread out so its a bit odd to locate where the food is.

-New, bright, and modern hotel with an efficient, eco-minimalist design. -Well-equipped room with a microwave and a complete kitchen set, which was very convenient. -Indoor pool and gym available (nice amenities, even though we didn’t get to use them). -Prompt response from staff after the mirror incident — the issue was taken seriously, inspected immediately, and we were transferred to another room without delay. -Thoughtful gesture from the front desk offering wine, which we appreciated regardless of whether it was related to the incident or our anniversary. -Very good breakfast selection with good food quality overall. -Excellent location, very close to my office, Nike campus, and nearby amenities — a big plus for work travel. -Would be open to recommending this hotel to colleagues due to convenience and overall value.

-Safety concern at room check-in: the bathroom mirror was already wobbly and suddenly collapsed and shattered. It appeared to be glued rather than properly mounted, which could have caused serious injury. -While handled well afterward, this raises concerns about installation quality and inspection, especially in a new property. -Refrigerator did not function properly — even when set to the highest cooling setting, it did not seem to cool at all. -Breakfast service inconsistency: the cook was not very friendly and communication was unclear. -There was confusion and resistance regarding a simple egg request, with repeated mentions of “limits” despite breakfast still being within service hours. -The situation felt unnecessarily frustrating and came across as avoidable with better service attitude (esp. for the cook).

Everything was great: the location — in the heart of Beaverton and close to Portland; the room was quite spacious and warm; the breakfast; the complimentary wine and beer with cheese and olives in the evening; a very nice fitness room with everything you need for a full-body workout; and a pool for those who enjoy swimming.

Nothing.
