9/10 Wonderful! (1,035 reviews)

The style of the hotel was industrial chic. The hotel is small and offers a small gym. It was clean . It is close to public transportation. There are a couple of restaurants nearby but most of what we wanted to do was on the east side of Portland.

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.
