Quirky hotel with basement hot tub pool
Stayed for one night in a queen room. Shared bathroom situation wasnt an issue at all. There are several on each floor that you have access to. The basement hot tub was amazing. All staff was friendly and courteous. I was able to park nearby at Brewery Blocks Garage. Great option if you are in town for a concert or nightlife. Will stay there again the next time im in Portland.

A wonderful place to stay for a downtown Portland getaway! The soaking pool was a great way to cap off each day, and the room was cozy and comfortable for us. Would absolutely recommend you stay here if you're looking for a great spot in the Pearl district!

Love the Crystal Hotel The whimsy, the artsy, the cool old architecture, the soaking pool, the customer service. We had a great time seeing Lukas Nelson at the Crystal Ballroom and it was a treat being steps away from a comfortable bed. But this part of downtown Portland wears us out. Too sad. Going to Edgefield next time.
