A Fantastic Surprise!

I booked this hotel at the last minute for an overnight stay to meet some friends for a birthday gathering. This hotel is perfectly located! The valet parking was a pleasant surprise! All the staff with whom I interacted were wonderfully friendly and professional- from the valet to front desk. I didn't get the room type that I booked, but that was absolutely fine, as I simply needed a place to lay my head for the night! That said, I am clear that I will book this hotel again and again!

Great location and value

The hotel was about a block away from a row of food trucks, the gym was open 24/7, and the room was a nice size. Recommended!

Great Location

Great location walked everywhere and the employees are quick to call you a taxi if needed. But overall the hotel is nothing special but a comfortable place to sleep at night. It might be worth it to spend the extra money to stay somewhere a little more fancy in the downtown Portland area.

Great downtown hotel!

Came to Portland for a friend's bachelor party. We wanted to stay somewhere downtown to be close to the bars and clubs, so this hotel was a great fit. The staff was friendly and recommended several places to go. We weren't in hotel for long, basically just needed a place to sleep, but the rooms were nice and the beds were comfortable.

Perfect business hotel

The wireless internet worked well the entire stay, which is a must for business travelers and can rarely be said about other hotels. Overall, the staff was friendly, the room was clean and nice, and it was a great stay!

Decent hotel in a good location

There was a big discount when I booked this hotel, and it was well worth the discounted price. It wasn't fancy but it was in a convenient location. The beds were comfortable. If you're just looking for a place to crash while you enjoy downtown Portland, this is a good option. There was a hairball near the sink but everything else appeared clean. You have to scan your room key to use the elevators and their card reader wasn't great.
