We stayed in a suite and it was very spacious and clean. Sometimes pictures online are deceiving but that was not the case. The staff was very friendly and I especially enjoyed the option to get a latte and scone right in the lobby with a private cafe-like space to enjoy it. Highly recommend.

On day 2 of my stay i returned to my room to find it smelling strongly of sulfur. i called down to the front desk to notify them to investigate and immediately left the hotel due to the overpowering smell. i returned 2 hours later and the hotel had done nothing. i had to go down to the front desk and request a new room. they did give me a new room and upgraded to a corner suite which i appreciated. this is the most bizarre thing ive ever had happen to me in a hotel.

Great location in downtown Portland. Only stayed one night for an early morning flight the next day. Room was clean, plenty of towels, staff was super friendly. They have a happy hour in their little lobby too.

Great stay for the price and location. Elevator access is awkward - two elevators from parking to rooms. John the bellman/wine server/jack-of-all-trades was very kind and friendly. Give that man a raise! We appreciated the wine and cheese with music. Best part is location, just one block from Powell’s Bookstore!
