Disappointing

The rooms were clean but the gym mats looked stained and gross. We have an electric car and there were no EV chargers on site nor did the staff know where chargers were located in the area. The bathroom was missing a shampoo bottle and lastly we paid over $700 for one night!

Downtown Portland is very seedy. You dont feel safe at night. The area has too many homeless roaming the streets. The area is very dark and has an unsafe feeling. No police presence... You need to look over your shoulder in the down town area. We we're very disappointed with Portland down town. To make it even worse, $40 parking fees are a rip off. This area is taking advantage of the tourist.

This is my second experience here at hotel and love that they allow early check-in which is great. Valet Parking is easy. Only downside is the Breakfast was a bit of a turn off, there was unkind bugs around the coffee crawling up the wall and no coffee in any of the canisters which was a sign.

We did not have tv from check in till the next full day. There was a problem with the wire from wall to tv. And when you get to a room you expect everything to be perfect. We did not notice the time on the clock. The clock was off by an hour. And because of that we missed our dinner reservation. First time I was unhappy about one of your properties.
