I was able to order a taxi at the desk. I could come and go as I pleased and at any time of night because there was a host 24 hrs a day at the front desk to buzz you in . I felt safe and enjoyed the area since it was just a block and half away from the head market square.

great location

The Portal House Apartments are so conveniently located in the historic district. Within walking to most places I wished to go. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The only reason for 4, not 5 star rating is that even with an elevator, there were many steps to navigate to get to your room and with heavy luggage, not as easy. My fault, I know for having so much stuff. Breakfast was very nice, Room was comfortable, shower nice and big. Good storage. Clean.
