We had a first floor suite. When we walked it the musty smell was overwhelming. There was a dehumidifier but it was full. We went to desk and they switched our room immediately. The room they moved us too was better but not great. There was milder musty odor and another full dehumidifier. We moved it to the hallway. The staff picked it up but did not replace it. Not a hotel for anyone with allergies or asthma. Will not stay here again

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.
