Great hotel. Very clean, location is good. Our room was right next to elevator and we didn't hear it at all. I loved the games in the lobby and the courtyard.

Wonderful Boutique place in downtown Portland
Wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Portland. Excellent staff that were very engaging and attentive to guests. Rooms were spacious, beds comfortable and it was very quiet due to large space between rooms and roads. Will definitely stay here again.

Great location
The location was great, but the AC was super loud in our room and we didn't sleep great. Breakfast was sparse but adequate.

A quick stay that is just an ok.
It is a chic hotel in a great location, looks new and with a modern ambiance. However, some of the details are disappointing. For example, the bathroom has rusty spots, and our bathtub has hair left when we checked in. The A/C is loud.

All very good. Accept the breakfast.
A very nice downtown hotel, with more reasonable parking. Food is not great, especially the morning buffet. That’s very rough, with 1 bedraggled attendant for everyone. Didnt even bother with the diner style evening food, since there are tons of great restaurants in easy walking distance.

Comfortable but…
The room and bed were very comfortable our only issue was the cycling oh the AC which woke us up throughout the night. Not being used to this noise made it difficult for us to get a solid night’s sleep.
