Great updated hotel with friendly employees. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Mattress a bit uncomfortable and $30 valet fee a bit steep for Portland. Besides that everything was great.

Good location and smart design choices -- there were no particularly "luxurious" finishes but most were pleasing choices that should clean easily and hold up over time. Room (basic king?) was quite spacious for a city hotel and laid out well to allow a bit of work and relaxation space in addition to the bed and bathroom.

Nice enough hotel. Agree with the other reviewers about the lack of bathroom privacy due to the odd glass barn door. Room lacked a cozy feel due to the modern decor, hard surfaces, etc. That’s just a matter of preference. I certainly don’t regret staying there but likely will choose a different hotel next time. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean.

One major bummer

So the hotel is beautiful and most of the staff is just great- Special shout out to Brett the shuttle driver- he was fabulous and having him for all transportation was a lifesaver! The downers for us revolves around the bathroom-first thing we noticed was something on the wall near the toilet paper dispenser that grossed us out- I mentioned it to a man at the front desk who was very apologetic and said it would be taken care of immediately-we were out most of the day walking and came back to find it still on the wall- another trip to the front desk and it was taken care of. It’s a pricey hotel to have such a poor response I feel. The next problem just depends on how private you like your bathroom time to be- the door to the bathroom is a sliding glass door the just goes across the opening to the bathroom- it’s not a closed door which is what I prefer- personal choice. So if Brett the driver hadn’t been a part of the deal I think the negatives may have outweighed the positives- but he made the stay great.
