Amazing Staff
Pros:

The entire staff at the hotel was fantastic. Josh especially went out of his way to take care of us & even ran 3 blocks to a restaurant he recommended to grab the keys to my car that reached its parking limit.
Great hotel and staff - would give 10 ☆ if I could

Awesome staff and very comfortable
Pros:

Hotel was fantastic - clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The staff was fantastic. I travel weekly for work and this is some of the best staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying with. Josh S, the valet, and his team were especially impressive. Grateful to have found this hotel and will be my go-to recommendation for anyone coming to Portland

Bidwell Blossoms —Lovely Trip!
Pros:

Y’all I love the Bidwell! I’m traveling for work and they treated my crew and I amazing! They were kind, generous, and helpful! And I want to give a special s/o to Cam and Josh S. greeting you before you even enter the hotel with smiles and an abundance of information! They gave me a great route suggestion (that allowed me to see the Cherry Blossoms in Bloom) and supported me before and after my run! The rooms are cute & clean! The food is tasty! And the staff is wonderful!! Thank you!! Love y’all!!

Great stay when in Portland.
Pros:

Stayed for one night on 3/11/2026 and the reviews did not lie. Josh at valet to the check in process was perfect. In fact, every staff member was perfect. The hotel is quiet, comfortable and clean. This is the only hotel I will stay at when visiting Portland.

Classy, courteous, and consistent 10/10 service.
Pros:

Classy, courteous, and consistent 10/10 service. Everyone remembered my name throughout the stay and greeted me with enthusiasm. The hotel’s general manager was in the lobby, welcomed me by name, acknowledged and expressed appreciation for my loyalty. Special call out to Josh and the entire valet team. Top shelf service!!

Perfect for Lil Staycations
Pros:

I really enjoyed my short stay at the Bidwell. Despite it only being two nights it was incredibly memorable due to the various encounters with staff that left me feeling informed and supported. Levi and Derrick at the front desk were phenomenal, with their responsiveness to checking in and any questions I had asked. Also, my experience at the bar was amazing as well as Margaret was quick to check in to my needs as a patron and got me my orders quickly! The team at the Bidwell are very accommodating even for short little staycations. :)

Great time at the Bidwell.
Pros:

The team is very good here, especially Josh S. He asked my name on night 1 and remembered for the next 3 days. The restaurant had a yummy lobster roll with brown butter. They live up to the Marriott standards. I would definitely stay again!

Weekend at the Bid.
Pros:

Easy check in
Secure floor stops in the elevator
Our 2 queen bed room was very spacious and the bathroom was huge. The sliding door with no lock on the bathroom was kinda weird so be aware.
Everything was clean. The on-site restaurant had good food, good drinks and good hours for us. Sometomes it's s nice to finish the night inside the building. I didn't pay for a view and definitely didn't get one. Not a concern though.

Generally a good location. A few restaurants and bars near by. Good coffee and breakfast close by too.

Not sure what valet parking costs. We parked around the corner at Alder Street Garage/ Star Park facility within the same square block as the Bidwell. $30/day. Literally walk out the front door, make 2 rights and the parking garage elevators are tucked in near the furniture store.

If you're going to Moda or the Convention Center, save yourself the headache and just Uber/Lyft from the hotel. Parking over there sucks. You could walk there (daylight) but I'd probably catch a ride back (not daylight).

I'd definitely stay there again if I wanted to stay in that area. The staff was awesome.

Cons:

Homeless populations nearby vary. 3rd Ave and further east, a bit more visible and a bit weirder. Nothing unsafe that I experienced but maybe a bit different with kids or something.

Amazing Staff 24/7/365
Pros:

Showed up late at night and was greeted warmly by Nonnie and Jami. Nonnie was professional and caring with our check in process. We eventually got into some discussions about art and she reccomended me to visit a cartoon museum, while also gifting me with her art! Jami was so sweet and caring with the check-in process and getting the valet set up was a breeze.

The Josh (es? There are two Josh's that work in Valet) are both equally funny, knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Josh S recognized every guest that walked in front of him while Josh T showed true pride in his position, going above and beyond to get an item I left in my vehicle and bringing it to my room.

The hotel is beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The food and drinks in the High Horse was delicious with lots of flavor. All of the staff show that they care for this hotel, and I will be reccomending all of my friends come and check it out when in Portland!

Above and Beyond
Pros:

The Bidwell was a wonderful stay and felt like home. The gym is one of the nicest in any hotel. And far away, Josh S. Is top notch customer service personified. He goes above and beyond and even got me in for dinner across the street for amazing sushi. Tom at the front desk was friendly and engaging and make check in a breeze!

LOVE this hotel… the place and the people!
Pros:

Let me start by saying I travel for work, so I’m in Portland a lot and have stayed at many nice hotels in the city. The first time I stayed here last fall I told the man at reception that I’m always on the lookout for my new favorite hotel… Derek smiled and said “challenge accepted!” and his genuine hospitality (plus the beautiful room and exceptionally comfortable bed) had me come back again on my next visit! I think this has been my 5th stay so far…

The rooms are beautiful, very comfortable, and the beds are exceptional… plus they use fitted sheets on their beds, people!! (The little things truly do make a difference.) But it’s the people here that bring me back! The service is top notch yes, but everyone here is so genuinely nice and wanting to help that you always feel special. You’ll meet Josh out front when you arrive, or in the M Club helping out with service, with a huge smile and tons of helpful information! Honestly everyone working valet is great - Thom, Cameron, and Brown are all extremely helpful!

The food at the hotel restaurant is very good and Kelsey is excellent at crafting cocktails and helping you decide on dinner when you’re too tired to think (try their non-alcoholic pineapple & pistachio mojitos - add rum - it’ll be your new favorite!)

And if you have access to the M Club, it’s one of the best hotel breakfast buffets I’ve ever had - ask about the “secret menu” and definitely try the potatoes (you’re welcome)! But again, it’s mainly the people. Yennifer and Juan Carlos are both super sweet, super helpful, and will definitely start your day off with a smile… The first time I went to the club for breakfast I didn’t realize I had missed their early breakfast cutoff (9am - my only complaint) and Juan Carlos had already loaded everything up to bring back to the kitchen. When he saw my disappointment he unpacked everything for me, without me asking, and just smiled and said take your time. Seriously sweet!

All to say, it’s a great hotel, with great staff who truly care about your experience, so enjoy your stay… I’ll be back soon!

Friendly, nice and great location
Pros:

The location was great. I liked being able to get out for a nice urban walk with plenty of interesting places to see. There are also lots of great restaurants, bars, coffee shops, food trucks and even a beer garden just a few blocks away. The room was clean and well appointed, and the amenities were good for a property in its category. The gym was properly equipped and the M lounge was cozy and the breakfast was well done. It also has a great bar and restaurant on the 2nd floor. Now for the most important part, the staff was courteous, helpful and gave off great vibes, with a particular shout out to our friendly valet Josh S. This was our second visit in about a year and we would definitely go back.

GREAT people
Pros:

This was such a fantastic group of people to host an event with. Their food and Bev coordinator during our event was so on it and flexible. Him and David and team were on top of making our event such a success. But the little things just added up to so much here - the kindest people you will ever meet greeted everyone and Josh S (valet) in particular made it feel like you were so welcome and safe here— he also ensured safety for all of our guests and was the friendliest face to have welcome you in.

Thank you so much to this entire team. This is one of those hotels you can just trust to crush it. We will host many more events here!

Exceptional hospitality with personal attention!
Pros:

Friends & I stopped by the restaurant at the Bidwell and had an amazing experience. Anna, our server was knowledgeable about the menu, super friendly & funny. I had the salmon, which was perfectly cooked. Jake also introduced us to an informative tasting of local beer & wine that greatly enhanced our trip to Portland! We will definitely be back to enjoy the Bidwell personable staff, hospitality & location! Thank you!
