Beautiful and Peaceful. Large room, wonderful sunrise views and amazing breakfasts. Friendly staff that respect your privacy and peace, so much that on a couple occasions I couldn’t find anyone. But if you want a quiet get away with a loved one, you’ll get it here.

Popular places to visit

There are two monstrous bridges that cut through the center of Portland, dragging the Interstate by-pass with them. They pretty much decimated the neighborhoods they were built over, at least at the time. Many of those neighborhoods are back, some better than ever. And the bridges remain. This one spans the northern half of the city. The other, called the Marquam, spans the south.
