The only issue is the bathroom door. No privacy at all there. Parking is $40 a night. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable enough. The view is very good if you get a bay view. Friendly staff and breakfast was included. Breakfast was actually better than most places. They only turn the room when you ask. It says every other day but it was longer for us. No pool, but we knew that going in.

The room was very clean as was the whole hotel. In great condition - did not feel worn at all. Everyone was super nice. My breakfast was included which was lovely. Available shuttle to the airport was considered in my stay as well. Would definitely stay here again if i come back to Portland. Location downtown was great.

First room was clearly not cleaned. Marijuana was on the table and the room reeked of the smell. We were not offered another suite until asking twice for an acceptable resolution. Service was almost nonexistent. The lounge advertised food being served until 10pm - the cook was gone before 9:45 so we were unable to get anything once back at the hotel.
