Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel is a gem! Fantastic location, super friendly staff, and clean, comfy rooms. The dining could use more variety, but the well-maintained pool makes up for it. The price is fair, but Wi-Fi comes at an extra cost.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its prime location in the heart of downtown Portland. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, but I found the dining options lacking variety. The service was top-notch, and the facilities were well-maintained. The value for money was reasonable, although there were some additional charges for certain amenities.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, right in the heart of downtown and close to everything. The rooms were spacious and modern, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining options were a bit limited for my taste. The facilities, especially the pool, were top-notch and added to a great experience.
