Stayed one night. Location convenient, can walk to downtown shopping and events. Area is safe and quiet. Valet parking on site available. Hotel restaurant closes on the early side (9:30pm) so did not make it there in time. Staff friendly and helpful. One room down the hall had brought their dog, which they left unattended for at least an hour during the day - the dog kept barking nonstop; I called the front desk and the staff worked on locating the dog owner. Thankfully no dog barking occurred overnight. The pool and gym were on small side but were clean and enjoyable.

Had a great stay

Front desk staff and Bartender were super friendly and helpful. Room was very good except some peeling wallpaper and an old bathtub. Carpet outside of elevators needed to be cleaned, but otherwise hotel seemed very clean. Appreciated how spacious the room was and the view. Great location for visiting Portland.

Our stay was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel is perfectly located in Portland! Everything we wanted to see, eat, and explore was within easy walking distance. Maggie and David were especially wonderful, going above and beyond with thoughtful recommendations for restaurants, things to do, and local favorites that made our trip even more memorable. The space was spotless and well-maintained, with a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. It felt like a true home base for exploring the city. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and friendly place to stay in Portland!
