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.

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!
