The door to the bathroom doesn’t close all the way. The tub is uneven and makes creaky sounds when you move around the tub. The grout around the toilet is disgusting. We stayed in room 524 and I don’t think that’s a VIP room.

I love the staff. Lu'kas had the greatest smile to great me. Felt totally safe. Secured parking. To go to room you had to use your room card on the elevator. There pizza was great. The only I recommend is have a better breakfast. I stayed at an equally rated hotel. They gave out tickets for the breakfast that included a cook making fresh eggs.

the stay here was incredible! my most memorable aspect would’ve been their s’mores service, as that was something i’ve never experienced from a hotel before. my mother and i stayed here for two days, and we had the best experience here. the establishment is stocked with things to do, too! their game room was such a nice touch as well. overall, we really liked the aesthetic of this hotel! next time we’re in town, we’ll most definitely be staying here again!!

Artsy hipster amazing vibe hotel

It was amazing. Early check in available and the front desk personnel was 10 out of 10. The place is beautiful/gorgeous. They have s’mores from 7-8 with high quality graham crackers and Hershey chocolates yum. Patio is calming and beautiful. Very artsy inside and the room was beautiful. I’m booking another stay now. I go to Portland very often this will definitely be my new place.

I stayed here with a friend in the beginning of May for an event in downtown Portland. We were here for a couple days, and it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. The room (the bathroom more specifically) had a few issues in the wallpaper and things like that, but that would never steer me from a place. The staff were very nice and helpful. Not any complaints there. I liked that breakfast was included, but I’m not sure it was worth it. On our checkout day we ended up going out for breakfast, which I love to do anyways in Portland, they have great spots. It was just disappointing, lackluster. The rooms don’t have any HVAC so we were either freezing or hot whenever we were in the room, and I never figured out the window. My main issue out of the whole stay was when my friend got to the hotel, she used their parking and I did not. We got the pass and everything, but they never disclosed that parking would be an extra $40 a night for that (found out after leaving on my receipt). That seems like something you would want to be up front about, as well as your amenity fees. An amenity fee should be built into the cost of the room if you anticipate people using them, and if they don’t, then they shouldn’t be charged. This was my first time staying here, not sure if I would come back honestly, unless I was in a pinch. I do wish this place the best, and the people who work here, because they were all very lovely and kind and I would never fault the staff for things they cannot control.

The staff were amazing! Arcade games in the lobby and tons of things to borrow. It was different than any place I have stayed at. The rooms were clean but could have been nicer. The overall experience is why I gave it a 5 Star.
