Loved staying at the blind tiger. Very centrally located and absolutely gorgeous throughout. So many thoughtful extras. The bed was super comfortable with lovely sheets and linens. Staff was super friendly. The text system works perfectly so communication is easy but you feel like you staying in a lovely home instead of a hotel. Can’t wait to return

A stay at Blind Tiger is like visiting a gracious and stylish friend. There are so many details that helped to make me feel welcome and at home. And the coffee in the morning is delicious! Located in a residential neighborhood instead of a tourist area adds to feeling like a local. And I appreciated the excellent recommendations for places to eat in the "Guide" on the website. Also Check-in and check-out were effortless; even though they were contact-less still felt personal.

Almost perfect

Fantastic stay. We had the Stovall room which was very spacious. Bed was huge and comfy and the bathroom was also very big. Nice shower with lots of water pressure and nice products. Service was super friendly and everything was clearly explained. We’re lucky enough to be able to park next to the building. Only thing that could finish things off would be a small fridge in the room and a coffee maker.

Such a beautiful experience

WOW! What an amazing hotel! We had such a beautiful stay and LOVED Portland. The room was so comfortable and quiet. Beautifully appointed too. As an interior designer, I kept taking pictures and videos of all the beautiful details. The hotel company left the most amazing list of restaurants and things to do and we’re so glad we took their advice. We found spots we would never have known about otherwise. The Japanese restaurant they recommend was OUT OF THIS WORLD!
