Room was clean & comfortable. Nicely furnished, jowever both chairs in the room had poor seat cushion support.. both should be refurbished. I originslly decided to pay fir 1 night parking..$36 per nite but decided st check in that I ewiuld not park over nite for second night & was told by the front desk person that I should tutn in the parking pass so as to not by charged for second night.. I came to frint desk at 2:30 pm next day & was told that 1pm was the cut-off time to not be charged another WHOPPING 36$ ! Very disappointing & preventing me to be able to have a dinner out! luckily i found a store with $6 turkey & cheese sandwich… I suggest the parking info be printed on the Room key card.

Cool historic hotel with nice architecture. Room was spotless. Highlight was the gentleman working the front desk that evening - he was very helpful including with dining recommendations. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. Fringe benefit: it’s about a block away from the iconic, massive Powell Bookstore, where one could lose an entire day just browsing and shopping.

Staff and customer service top notch, bedding was comfortable, I would definitely go for the larger room to feel more quality as I stayed in both the economy king room vs premium king rooms, definitely two different experiences. Both are nice but premium is definitely worth it. They have wine tasting and a very nice sitting area as well. Overall great stay, hotel is a bit dated but has charm & housecleaning/cleanliness is great!
