Lodging: Hilton Portland & Executive Tower


On September 4, 2009, we decided to go on a little vacation to Portland, Oregon. We booked our stay at the Hilton Portland & Executive Tower for three days. The hotel allows dogs (under 50lbs) for a one time $25.00 pet fee, so we were able to bring our dog. We arrived when there was an anime convention going on so the hotel was extremely busy with kids EVERYWHERE! I felt as if we never really had the opportunity to experience the hotel (except for our room) because of this, but that is not the hotel's fault. Just bad timing. Parking was a bit difficult because the parking garage was down the street, but with one-way streets and traffic I couldn't successfully find the parking garage and ended up parking in a pay up front for the car to stay garage. Since we wouldn't be needing the car in downtown Portland, that worked out great and saved us money.

Our hotel room was awesome! We got a great corner room (probably due to the dog) that had a great view and was just beautiful. The room was one of the highlights of the weekend because it had such a great view and location (see photo). Overall, I would recommend this hotel especially if you have a dog. We will definitely be staying here again.
