The location of this hotel is excellent
The hotel is fabulous, it’s clean and the rooms are very good size with everything you need and it’s quiet despite being down town
The staff are always polite, this is our go to hotel in Portland
The hotel and overall stay was awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Only issue was we were not fond of the sliding door for the bathroom but other than that we loved our stay. Will definitely book with them again.

Had an amazing time! The staff were friendly, the hotel was clean and location was ideal. Would recommend staying on the higher floors, first floor can get a bit noisy and make sure that you always ask for extra towels. Definitely would stay there again.
Nice location, overall good experience. Found a few things in the room left from the previous guest, had a few things in the room that could be better - smart tv didn’t work, low soap in the shower.
The staff were great and helpful. The parking was hard to maneuver around. The downfall is that the room had a horrendous odor. We had to keep the room super cold to keep the smell tolerable. Other than the hard parking and the awful odor, everything else was great.
