For it being one of the cheapest options in Portland (in off season) it met expectations: was clean and comfortable. I stayed in a King room for 2 nights and didn’t have any issues. Breakfast is okay, nothing special just your regular continental. Good location, friendly staff.

It was what we expected. Just a room. The heat was through a very loud vent above the bed. Needs to be up dated to more efficient and quieter system. To no fault there own there were extremely loud guests in the hallway between 12 mid night and 2;30am. I talked to them about it in the morning. They did take our valet parking fee off our bill. Very nice but still made for a unrestful night. Typical hotel breakfast included. We did not eat it but it’s what you expect.

Super easy check-in, nice included breakfast buffet. I will say the $40 a night for valet parking is a bit excessive. However, the individuals parking in the cards were super nice and responsive.

The staff was okay, but the welcome could have been warmer at check in. I wasn't offered information, water anything upon check in. I had to ask the wifi info and breakfast info/times. At one point during stay I'd asked if they could offer me an umbrella as I was walking in the snow and the guy at the desk laughed and said he only had them for sale and couldn't offer me anything. That was rude. Other hotels offer umbrellas or supply at least one in the room. I returned one evening asking if there was available water to refill my cup (like the thermos at breakfast) and the woman at desk was rude and flat out declined that was possible.
