"We arrived three hours before check-in, so our rooms weren’t ready yet. However, the front desk agent promised us a great view, and she delivered! Our rooms overlooked the river and downtown Portland, and the view was absolutely beautiful. The hotel doesn’t provide daily room service, but they will if you request it. Anytime we needed something, like extra towels or pillows, they brought it right away. We didn’t need a car for this trip, which was fortunate because valet..."

"I've stayed at this property on a couple of occasions and had a great experience both times. The front desk is welcoming and accommodating. They went above and beyond when I ran into a significant delay getting into town. While the valet is expensive (like all downtown hotels everywhere) they were friendly and made the effort to ask if I was leaving again the same day, so they could keep the car out front. The rooms are clean, functional, and..."

"Great price for the accommodations you receive. Only negative is that the lobby and bar area, gets pretty cold. They either need to crank up the heat or better isolate the two areas from the front entrance."

"Overall, okay. But if you have a choice nearby for a comparable hotel that has more character, I'd go for it. They energy in this lobby and the staff was just stale. Didn't feel welcoming. Room toilet clogged and they didn't fix it in a timely manner. In fact, they offered me the plunger to do it myself. They need to offer guests EV charging stations or partner with a valet / parking lot who can offer this."

"Good. -Great location. Easy to get to public transport and places to eat. -good price point -rooms are practical. Loved the huge bench for luggage. Wish every hotel did that. But like most places it needs a light above that area - front door was opened for you during the day and the valet was very friendly. - great shower - very quiet rooms. I was concerned being across from the elevator but never heard it or any doors closing..."

"A good hotel with an excellent location in downtown Portland. I am a cheap traveler, and typically stay in hostels so this was a nice change of pace for me. I visited town for a conference through my work (thus the fancier accommodation) and it was nice to feel a little more upscale than usual. While it was a pretty good deal all things considered, it seemed like they charged for any extra that they could, which lessened the experience..."
