My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5-day stay in the beautiful city of Portland. This hotel was exceptional and perfectly met our needs. Its prime location allowed us to easily walk to nearly all the attractions we wanted to visit. We particularly appreciated the convenience of a full breakfast served every morning, the well-equipped workout room, and the on-site laundromat, which was a huge bonus as it meant we didn't have to overpack. The only minor issue we encountered was with housekeeping; they were scheduled to service our room every other day but only did so once during our stay. Despite this, our overall experience was very positive, and we would stay her again.

Housekeeping was cut back to every other day, including towels and bed makeup, which was inconvenient. Desk staff and location great. Room was somewhat strangely laid out but plenty roomy for a longer stay. Nice view to the harbor. Breakfast handy but limited help-yourself selection. Parking next door with free in and out very useful in parking constrained area.
