RESIDENCE INN BY MARRIOTT PORTLAND AIRPORT AT CASCADE STATION, Portland

The hotel sits adjacent to Portland International Airport, roughly a 5-minute drive or single stop on the MAX Red Line to the terminal. The light-rail station is immediately outside the property, offering a direct connection to downtown Portland, the Oregon Convention Center, and Union Station. Interstate 205 is also nearby, giving quick access to the wider metro area. Cascade Station shopping centre - with Target, Wendy's, Chipotle, and several other restaurants - is within a short walk. The property provides free on-site parking at $12 per night, with long-term park'n'fly options available. For those without a car, the free airport shuttle operates 24/7 and the MAX provides a car-free route to the city centre in under 20 minutes.

The hotel offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites. Each suite includes a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, electric cooktop, microwave, and all necessary cookware and dishes. A limited number of two-bedroom suites are available, with one king bed, one queen bed, and a pull-out sofa. One-bedroom suites also offer a fireplace option. All rooms feature air conditioning, carpeted floors, a seating area with a sofa bed, a flat-screen TV with cable, a dining area, a work desk, and heating. Standard one-bedroom suites sleep up to 3 (king bed + sofa bed); a rollaway bed can be added for a 4th guest for a fee. The rooms are light and well-maintained, with effective blackout curtains. Windows cannot be opened, and air conditioning vents may blow directly over the bed. Some furniture - particularly sofas - may show wear. Road-facing rooms are quieter than typical due to good soundproofing, but the property overall is described as quiet with no aircraft noise.

Breakfast is included in all rates and served buffet-style each morning. Offerings include both hot items (turkey sausage patties, turkey sausage links, turkey bacon) and cold options such as fresh coffee, juice, yogurt, pastries, cereal, and fruit. Gluten-free items are also provided. The variety is described as decent and plentiful, though the breakfast meat selection is limited to turkey-based products. Beyond breakfast, the property has a 24-hour convenience store by the front desk for snacks and drinks, and an outdoor barbecue area with gas grills for guest use. The hotel itself has no on-site restaurant or bar, but Cascade Station's many restaurants - including Baba's Mediterranean Grill and Bistro 23 - are within 0.5 km on foot. Round-the-clock coffee and decaf are available in the lobby.

The indoor swimming pool is open daily from 8:00 to 22:00 and is complemented by a hot tub. Sun loungers are provided around the pool area. A free fitness centre is available for guests. Outside, the hotel offers a courtyard with an outdoor fireplace and barbecue facilities, which guests have used for cooking meals. The pool and hot tub can sometimes be busy with children, but the property responds to noise issues during quiet hours. There is no spa or wellness centre on site.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the property and is free of charge. A complimentary 24-hour airport shuttle operates on request; guests should call the hotel on arrival at the airport to dispatch the van, and schedule departures the night before. The shuttle does not have wheelchair access, but a limited number of rooms with roll-in showers are available. Additional services include a 24-hour front desk, express check-in/out, free luggage storage, an ATM on site, a business centre with fax/photocopying, and meeting/banquet facilities. Laundry and dry cleaning are available for an additional charge (cash-operated machines). Pet policy: up to 2 dogs per room ($20/night fee, $100/stay deposit; additional fees apply if damage occurs). Safety deposit boxes are free. The property is fully non-smoking, has a lift, and offers accessible parking, van-accessible spaces, and accessible routes from the public entrance.
