Wish they had a liquor license and could do a cocktail hour in addition to a breakfast service. Wish they had just a tad more breakfast options. Really wish they had a key pad and front door access! LOVED the fire places in every room. Property manager was lovely and friendly. Loved the snacks available and variety.

There was no real ocean view. Staff seemed available by text. The breakfast wasn’t out until 8:00 so unfortunately we never got to experience it. The room was clean, bed comfortable but outlets in bathroom were a safety hazard as they smoked when using blow dryer and straightener. We liked the idea of this hotel. The price did not match our experience.

Beautiful historic building. The common areas and our room were stunning! Breakfast in the morning was great. Make sure to go to the widow’s walk in the evening for a view.

This is a beautiful historic property on a quiet street close to the hustle and bustle of downtown Portland and the waterfront strip. You get historic charm with all the modern amenities and comforts. We loved it!

We are sad to have only spent one night at Blind Tiger ahead of our trip back to Ohio the following day. The hotel, quite literally, took my breathe away. It was gorgeous, and immaculately curated. The staff was fantastic and had great recommendations for how to spend our one day in the city. It was quiet, clean, and in an area of the city that was more residential (so good for us!). We cannot wait to come back.

We traveled for our 25th wedding anniversary! We loved the history of the Blind Tiger!! Love the billiards room and the mix of modern and antiques! Our only suggestion would to be to add a fan for some air flow. :)
