First time staying at a place with shared bathrooms & I was pleasantly surprised. Crystal Hotel keeps the bathrooms very clean and I did not have trouble finding an available bathroom when I needed one. Pros: Clean, friendly staff, soaking tub, convenient food, location is perfect if you're attending a Crystal Ballroom event or want to walk around and shop, in room air/temp controls. Cons: Rooms are quite dark and small (stayed in a Queen). I'm thankful I read that in review and brought my own light! Shared bathrooms may not be everyone's cup of tea. Parking was less than ideal - it's only a couple of city blocks away, but it's inconvenient not to be able to access your car easily if you forget something. Also, walking around downtown with heavy luggage trying to find the hotel in the pouring rain is not a fun experience. I think they have parking out front you can drop your stuff at before going to park, but they were blocked or full when I arrived.

Always a favorite spot to see concerts and stay. Its downtown Portland, but it’s really honestly the best option if you’re walking and don't need to go far. Our first choice when seeing concerts at Crystal Ballroom. Also food in the restaurant is amazing.

This historic building has fantastic vibes and was within easy walking distance to our music venue and Powell’s - definitely will consider this place again when needing to stay in Portland. (Rooms are small, but that’s a perk imo!)
