Lovely Pearl District Hotel

This historical historical property is located in the"Pearl District" within 2 blocks of Powells Bookstore & Jakes Grill. My room.was beautifully appointed with 2 Queen beds, a kitchenette & partial downtown view. Morning tea/coffee available mornings off the Lobby & "wine hour" were unexpected treats after a 2 day xcountry train trip. Staff gracious &.accommodating.

I strongly advise women and femme-identifying people not to stay here, especially if you are traveling solo. A staff member of this hotel verbally assaulted me with gendered/violent language. I contacted the hotel about it and have received no reply after multiple weeks.
