We were in town for a few days visiting colleges and we enjoyed our stay. It was central to lots of restaurants, making it easy to walk. Having coffee and hot water in the lobby at all times was a plus. Staff were all friendly. It's an old building, but they have done a nice job renovating it. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was in a perfect location for walking around downtown Portland. The hotel itself though seemed pretty outdated. No streaming or rental service in the room, every time the elevator moved you could hear loud clanking sounds. For one night it was okay but I wouldn’t stay there for longer than that.
