Anyone have a recent stay with info to share about the Doubletree in Portland, OR?

To preface this post, I was browsing on here yesterday and someone posted something similar to this, "If you really want a suite or special room, then book that particular room type."

I saw what I thought was a good rate, ~$125/night for a Presidential Suite (cheapest regular room was around $90), so I booked it. Yes, there were Nor1 options...extra for parking/Internet/breakfast options (when breakfast is included in the room rate). I was tempted to post here ahead of time, but was afraid I may lose this rate. Not sure if the property only has 1, "Presidential Suite," but when I look for my same dates now I don't see it offered as an option. I think I'll select Internet as my free option for this stay.

What should I expect from this property and/or the room? I've been to Portland once before for biz (stayed at the Embassy Suites downtown), and remember the Max stopping nearby here. We'll be using it as a jumping off point to explore the area, mostly by transit, and probably renting a car for a day or 2 to get out to Mt Hood, maybe the coast.
