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.

We spent two nights on a busy summer weekend in downtown Portland and we were very impressed not only the hotel but everywhere we walked how safe we felt despite the years reading about downtown Portland. Highly recommend the hotel it is fun and staying downtown. So much to do and we walked a lot of miles around the areas on both sides of the river and into the hills of the city and down to and back from the railroad station

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.
