Poor experience

Multiple pointy nails poking up through wood floor in room. Not fun to step on barefoot. No sink in bathroom, have to walk through room to access sink on kitchenette side. No blackout shades; morning sun came in through edge of closed shutters across bed onto our faces. Yelling on street below woke us up multiple times. After check out, was charged for mini-bar that we did not use.

Beautiful, friendly, and noisy

Beautiful rooms and great staff. The walls are very thin, so you can hear everything in the halls. But, if you want something cute, downtown, with lovely staff, this is a good choice.

4 star hotel? not sure about that.

in true portland fashion, this hotel is quirky. i'm no expert on star ratings, but this hardly feels deserving of a 4-star title. no early check in option, which is understandable for such a small hotel. sheets and pillow cases feel like they're made of construction paper and mattress is very thin. the bathroom light is on a 5 minute timer that apparently cannot be adjusted, so plan on showering in the dark. windows have zero insulation, so there is a nightly symphony of screaming homeless folks, car alarms, and ambulance sirens to rouse you from sleep. still, staff is very friendly and accommodating, and even though they close relatively early, both bars are lovely. probably won't stay here again but it's a decent option for a conveniently located inner southeast stay.

Staff are working hard and took care of the problems. All the problems were the real problem and they are understaffed and clearly not supported by their GM and management above the local management. Surprised at how disappointing the stay was.

Tim, San Francisco

Desk clerk made me feel like i was going to steal something. Not welcoming. Tag on bottle of water said i would be charged $13 if the cap were removed. In that exact language. There has to be a better way to make a guest feel welcome, rather than please don't steel from us. I was told i would be charged $80 for a robe that died not exist in my room?

The hotel is affordable and offers amenities. The bed was comfortable. Renovated nicely with color and nice decor. The only complaint are the blinds and the headboard needed to be dusted off, maybe the room was vacant for awhile.

This was our second stay here. The staff was great. The room was fine. It has a lot of street noise. The bed comfortable but had a dip in the middle.
