I am contemplating staying the Courtyard Downtown at the end of August. It looks like I would be redeeming points for my nights. I have zero status with Marriott.

The staff was great and I was upgraded to a large corner room with a nice view.
Armani's experience pretty much echos mine. I found the CY location to be great if you wanted to explore downtown Portland and the diner/restaurant way better than any "Bistro." The room furnishings were pretty much standard Courtyard.
I have stayed at the Waterfront and, while the property was OK, found the location less convenient to the downtown area.
