Maintenance of bathroom hardware need to be addressed. The stopper in the bathroom sink didn't work and it was difficult to find the proper water temperature in the shower...the water was either too hot or too cold. It took some finesse to get the right temperature.

Such a cute boutique hotel in a great area of Portland. The self park option was less expensive than valet and felt very secure. The bed was super comfy too.

They refer to themselves as a luxury hotel and I would not call them that. I walked in to my room with a big stain on the chair and leftover hair pins on the window sill. It left a feeling of a dirty room the entire stay. The review mentions a free breakfast but all the signs i saw showed the cost of breakfast items and i would rather visit one of the amazing bakeries for breakfast. The room itself is OK. It was poorly laid out as it was crammed walking from the bed to the bathroom but then there was about a 6'x12' of empty space. The bed was OK and I wished there was a coffee maker in the room. I would say the best part of the hotel was their evening reception on the balcony. If the price was right I would stay again but am more likely to check out another hotel in the area.

The room was nice, the smaller hotel felt pretty comfortable. The room was a little stinky even after leaving the window open for a couple days. The front desk was very nice!

The staff is always friendly and helpful, the property is lovely, and the wine and cheese hour is great! I have stayed here twice, and very much like the hotel, but each time I've stayed, there has been a very loud noise that goes on through the night and morning that I don't know the origin of. It's not noise from another room. It is consistently the same loud, heavy thud, at all hours. I'm a very light sleeper, and it's the only thing that detracts from this wonderful hotel.

I asked for a view room, and I got a room on the third floor of an eight story building with a view of the ugly building, directly across the street. I also did not like the fact that I paid $15 for an ice cream and a snickers bar. The room itself was OK, but the bathroom sliding door was broken. I had to manually push it open and close.
