9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)

This hotel was perfect for our Portland trip. The only negative was waiting for valet to get our car for 25 minutes and only one person working behind the desk after 730 PM. We almost missed our dinner reservation. The AC didn’t seem to work either so we opened the small windows to cool it down in the evenings.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,066 reviews)

Would stay again. Comfortable bed, nice shower, fresh coffee in the lobby, great value for the price on a Friday night. Underground hotel parking was extremely tight, narrow spots with cement pillars everywhere, my only minor complaint.
