The staff were amazing! From the moment I checked in the front desk was amazing. They made sure to accommodate us right away. They are fast with finding solutions we had a minor inconvenience and they resolved it better than I could imagine.

This property was great for the downtown explorer… it was close to food, ice cream and shops. I love going to Multnomah village and Hawthorne area more. But the experience of staying downtown and on the 5th floor was nice. The bedding was so soft, and comfortable. The parking was secure and the complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch.

Plenty of potential but not worth the money; sheets were horrible and stained, horrible mattress, couch had animal scratches on end and food stains on it, also no support. (I weigh 115 -t shouldn't sink when I sit on it). No salt and pepper shakers, no complimentary bottle of water, bathroom door needs a a 15 minute paint job, windows need to be washed

Decent quick stay

Rooms were decent size, bed was comfy, great size bathroom with walk in shower. Not much of a view from windows. A bit outdated of a hotel. Location was convenient.
