Cool property. We landed at midnight, walked to scooter McQuade’s, had drinks and apps at 1:30 am, and a great experience at the bar. Bathrooms are good, we slept good, parked by the door, swam in the morning. Nice and easy.

This is not your typical hotel. If you're looking for a Hilton type stay go stay at a Hilton-tyoe place. This is more artsy and almost private room at a hotel feel, in a good, unique way

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
center of downtown, the facility is old, rooms are a little bit dark , no table, bed are uncomfortable, 3 restroom in each floor with 10 rooms sharing it, not that bad considered, wash sink really a room only with bed and sink nothing more, no closet or table. there's a lot of safe parking nearby. overall im not going back here again unless it is very cheap price. Also elevator is scary its cracking whenever you use it lol

Liked: Amenities
What a sweet queen room! So fun that each room had a song theme! The staff went out of their way to be accommodating and helpful. I had to get my water bottle filled at the bar as my room sink was fairly shallow and the bartenders were always happy to fill me to the top! There were 4 shared bathrooms on the floor which I found to be convenient. I loved the use of a robe and plenty of towels to use when going down the hall. It's an older hotel so I could hear the big party of people next to me the first night but the staff quickly came to disperse and quiet them down politely. I appreciated that immensely.

Fun hotel with lots to look at. Conveniently located restaurant and bar on 1st floor. Nice bars in walking distance. Walking distance to China Town and water front. Portland appears cleaner than years before.
