Explorers, Not TouristsPortland vibes

“I grew up in Portland and I have felt a hole in my heart every time I visit the city the past few years but for my stay I felt I got a little bit of that late 90's early 2000'1 Portland back in a quirky fun atmosphere in the middle of a Northwest blanket.”

“The music theme is fun with each room named after a song whose lyrics are painted around the walls inside, and I loved the room decor.”
