Great hotel! The snacks with sensors were super frustrating, I would much rather have the fridge to put my own things than drinks that trigger a sensor and charge me when I move them around. This caused me to have to walk down to the check in to sort it out, they still didn’t take the charges off and I had to call when I got home to remove them. Otherwise this is a very nice spot to stay in Portland!

The bed was very comfortable, the whole place is well maintained and clean. The restaurant part of it makes excellent home made pasta. The only negative was that the building could get a little noisy - but not a huge deal and not really the hotel's fault
