Rooms are clean but forgot to clean 2nd day me request to clean it.

Breakfast was a joke. A hotel like this should have a fresh breakfast. It was only continental with basics. 2nd day no boiled eggs. No orange juice or anything.

Love the location, the patio, the staff, the S’mores, the games. Perfect place to make home base while in Portland. I could walk most places and I felt safe. Farmer’s market is only a few blocks away, and Powell Books and Art/craft market are within easy walking distance. Staff are welcoming, informative and gracious. S’mores and the patio are catalysts for creating a neighbourhood of travellers.

Parking is too expensive. There’s a lot across 6th that you can see from the dining room that is much cheaper.Also, the hair dryer was broken and there were splatters of something on the bathroom floor. Staff attended to these things immediately.

Location of hotel was excellent- close to river, to Powell bookstore, to Portland Art Museum, to Fountain Park, etc. An unexpected bonus was that the hotel had lots of pinball machines and Pac-Man etc and all was free and unlimited game play. Other games also were available to use. Another bonus was beautiful fireplaces in the courtyard and makings for s'mores available without charge. I would highly recommend this hotel!! It was a great find.

Fantastic location. Could walk everywhere, safely, and at night. Close to markets, festivals, shopping, tourist attractions (e.g. museums, the arts, nightlife, parks, waterfront, etc.). Also loved the patio, including the games, the nightly s’more event, and how neighbourly people became because of it. I also enjoyed the breakfast being included. Remarkably quiet considering that it is so centrally located in the old downtown.

I didn’t like the price of parking. We found a lot across the street (could see it from breakfast) that was $15 rather than $24 for the 24 hours/day.Some confusion when we booked through booking.com. Room stated it had a shower but not a toilet. It did of course, but had to verify through phone calls.Also didn’t like that the bar closed so early. The patio is such a perfect place to hang out. We wanted to stay, and not go out. Glad you can buy beverages at the little kiosk at the front desk. Also, the breakfast bananas were consistently brown. I suspect they were put in the fridge.

Loved so many things about this place. The first thing that got my attention in this hotel was their patio with fireplace. The location is great with close proximity to so many downtown locations. The overall ambience of the hotel was so cool, room was clean, bed was amazing and the daily smores in the evening by the fireplace in the patio was so relaxing. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast being included saved a lot of time and effort in planning the day properly. Parking was a bit pricey in the hotel but we managed to find alternate free/cheaper options with street side parking. Additionally, they have so many items such as bikes, scooters, beach chairs, picnic blankets and so many others to rent for free based on your needs.

Bathroom tub and shower in our room were not that great. Not that bad to request a room change though

Clean room, chic design, many free outdoor/sporting equipment available, free arcade games/pinball machines in the lobby, friendly staff, comfortable bed. Location is great if you want to stay near downtown Portland, close to the streetcar station, PSU farmers market, proximity to good food etc.

Breakfast was a bit basic
