My new favorite hotel in the Pacific Northwest. Perfectly appointed room, excellent front desk experience, little noticeable things that make for a fantastic stay, including ergonomics of the room, VIP welcome bottle of wine, courteous doorman, etc. Definitely coming back

Pleasant in the Pearl

We love staying here for the walkable location to most things in PDX that we want to enjoy. The furnishings are starting to show their age, but the bed is one of the most comfortable we've had at a mid-price hotel and the sheets are soft. The complimentary wine and cheese reception in the lobby each evening was a nice cap on the day.
