At Portland City Center this week and let's cut directly to the chase: THEY HAVE COKE PRODUCTS IN THE LOUNGE!!!

I could bore you with trivial other details about the rooms and whatnot but if anyone here needs their morning Diet Coke fix without going to Hilton to get it, this is your hotel.

The hotel is very brand-standard Marriott across the board. No local character to it at all...sort of the opposite of the Hi-Lo, which is very Portland. But with brand-standard comes a lounge, reasonably big rooms, big bathrooms, and probably far fewer quirky rooms than you may not like. (This can happen at the Hi-Lo.)
