I have always stayed here when in Portland Oregon. Room is clean, bed is comfortable, water is hot, linens are nice. Breakfast well presented, ample "cold" offerings. I was looking forward to cooked egg & sausage as on previous stays, ...but room rate was a good deal (= fair).

I chose this hotel for because it had good ratings. The place is old and my room was not clean. The sheets had a funny smell and the was a few spider webs in the closet. The place was old and not well kept. The staff are young like students. They are very friendly.

The location of this hotel near the Keller and the Streetcar is the reason for choosing it. The hotel is dated but there have been efforts to update it. The bed was very comfortable, the carpet needs to be replaced in our room. The breakfast was below average with limited selections and no hot food (unless to include putting hot water to make the instant oatmeal.)

I like their breakfast, the beds were comfortable, but when we came into the room, the hall light wasn’t working, so I went to a pole lamp in the corner and it wouldn’t turn on. I called the desk and they said they would give us another room, they would have somebody come by with keys to the other room, but it didn’t happen.
