The hotel itself was cool, like a modernized motor inn. Free pinball! A good bar. Comfy outdoor space. Nice amenities. However, the rooms are ready for renovation. The carpet was stained pretty badly, and the bathroom tile too. The tub/shower is really outdated. But yeah I'd stay again for the free pinball.

We spent two nights on a busy summer weekend in downtown Portland and we were very impressed not only the hotel but everywhere we walked how safe we felt despite the years reading about downtown Portland. Highly recommend the hotel it is fun and staying downtown. So much to do and we walked a lot of miles around the areas on both sides of the river and into the hills of the city and down to and back from the railroad station

A quick stay that is just an ok.

It is a chic hotel in a great location, looks new and with a modern ambiance. However, some of the details are disappointing. For example, the bathroom has rusty spots, and our bathtub has hair left when we checked in. The A/C is loud.

All very good. Accept the breakfast.

A very nice downtown hotel, with more reasonable parking. Food is not great, especially the morning buffet. That’s very rough, with 1 bedraggled attendant for everyone. Didnt even bother with the diner style evening food, since there are tons of great restaurants in easy walking distance.
