Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable. The rooms were lovely and quiet despite some minor noise from the facilities below. The service was exceptional, especially with the knowledgeable staff. The location was superb for exploring downtown Portland. However, the dining experience fell short of expectations. Despite a couple of shortcomings, the value for money was reasonable.
I absolutely loved the location of this hotel, which was ideal for exploring Portland. The rooms were spacious, providing a perfect setup for both relaxation and work. However, the neighboring construction noise was a bit of a drawback. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist us. The dining experience was pleasant overall, though the service in the restaurant could have been friendlier. The central location and access to the Pearl district were major highlights of this hotel.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although warm and charming, were not up to par with maintenance and overlooked another building, which was not ideal. On the positive side, the service was fantastic, very friendly, and professional. The location was a bit strange but convenient for exploring the city and dining options. The dining was perfect in the hotel restaurant, although some staff were indifferent. Overall, it was a stay with highs and lows.
I had such a lovely stay at the hotel! The beautifully decorated rooms to the period of the building were a great perk. However, it was a bit noisy due to the construction outside the hotel, and you could hear the buses and trains. Despite that, the room and the comfortable bed, along with the provided earplugs, made it bearable for me.
The hotel felt more like a home with small rooms on the 6th floor but lacking a view. The room setup for two occupants was slightly disappointing, but the affordable price made up for it. The service was exceptional with staff going above and beyond, especially for wedding favors. The location in the Pearl district was central and ideal, although check-in could be challenging at times. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some staff being indifferent, but the takeaway food was a convenient option.
The hotel is a true gem in Portland's old center, with cozy rooms and excellent service. The location is perfect for exploring the city, surrounded by fantastic dining options. Although the dining experience had some ups and downs, the overall stay was delightful and worth the value.
