This hotel has a great vibe. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and I loved the unique refurbished decorative elements. I stayed here with a group of teenaged girls, and the family room was perfect.

I've lived in Portland for 12 years, and now when I visit (having tried a dozen hotels here) this is the only place I'll stay. It's comfortable, has an old-world charm, and the staff is terrific.

Great staff. Cool spot and loved the esthetics. Only problem is there was no fridge in my room and also every 30 mins a weird loud noise would rattle the whole room.
