Great stay. Make sure to ask about parking within the facility; it is an additional cost. “Free breakfast” is charged as part of the amenities fee, and it’s so so (coffee, small muffins, bagels, yogurt, hard boiled eggs) However, the property location and price compensates. Will definitely book again.

Great location. Can walk downtown, performong-arts centers, the waterfront, and to PSU. Small room, beds were ok but pillows were hard as rocks. Breakfast was not great. Packaged hardboiled eggs and some bagels, toast, oatmeal, and yogurt. Weren't offered the complimentary water or 24-hour Futness passes and werent allowed in the gane room. Will explore other options next time in Portland.
