The employee who was working the shift has poor knowledge regarding the hotel / rooms. Was friendly on the other Hand. But over all I feel very, very disappointed. In all honesty I personally feel very sad / upset with my stay. Once I got to my room that's I was very excited for, I had went straight to the bathroom to try out the jacuzzi bathtub. To only find out as it was filling up, it was very dirty. I was able to see gross hair and floating things in the tub. Then I proceeded to let it fill up, walked to the jet timer by the sink to only find out I was given a not working bathtub. Then I used the fire place, turned it on and had left to go down the hallway to check out the snack area and once I came back, the room smelled like a sort of gas. It was a very overwhelming smell. So I just ended up shutting it off for the night. I proceed to go to the bed and I lifted the sheets because I personally do that at any place I'm staying at. And there was these nasty huge yellow stains all over the bottom sheet. I ended up sleeping on the pull out sofa bed. I am still very upset about my stay that I paid $400 dollars for, for one night and thats what I was given. It was late so I didn't have the energy to tell the front counter and I was so discouraged and unhappy that I just didn't mention anything to the employees over all. Felt like there wasn't anything I could do. And that's most likely not the right decision I made but I'm just at a lost for words. I definitely don't recommend

This was my wife and I first time ever in the state of Oregon and our first time in Portland. When we got to the Sentinel , we realized there was not really any parking but the valet was there and his name was Tyler ( I could be wrong with the name ) , but he was super nice , helped us get our bags and bring them inside and lead us to the front desk ( he also later helped us with some good food suggestions) . We were greeted warmly by Dylan and got us checked in ( early I might add ) he gave us a quick lobby tour , explained the restaurant ( there is a restaurant onsite but it’s part of a different building sort of .. ) and I might add that whatever scent they had in the lobby , smelled amazing like old books and leather and tobacco and warmth ! Dylan offered himself and asked if we needed anything else and was great ! My wife and I rode the elevator up and when we stepped off , it was so much more beautiful than we had thought ! The art was beautiful and thoughtful and the decor was vintage but not too much , very classy and rich and the way the lights shined through the skylights lighting up all the live indoor plants lining the hallway of the apartment style rooms . We opened our door to our room and were immediately taken a back , at how the aesthetic was perfect for us .

A favorite place

I have stayed at the Sentinel since it was the Govener 5 or 6 times. Classic old hotel with beautiful wood work, but not at all worn out. Room was very up to date, though wifi poor. Enough outlets, bathroom very nice. Chose a premium room w fireplace. With 2 easy chairs and table a pleasant place to do some work. Tram is noisy, but i like it (as have lived by them in past). Jakes was fabulous for dinner. Much better then lat time. Staff helpful. Great location. Close to everything. Nearby public parking. No reason to stay abywhere else

The decor was the perfect blend of modern convenience and the old world charm. It did not feel like a basic cookie cutter room. The rooms were moddy and warm but also felt bright and clean. The staff was genuinely friendly and seemed as though they enjoyed their work. I would absolutely stay again.
