Lovely hotel. Staff very friendly and kind. Amazing breakfast. Didn’t realise no lift and on top floor of 4. When I pointed this out though, staff said I should have asked and they would have moved me if they could.

Spotless, quiet, and a comfy bed and pillows. A little musty in the room but not terrible. I had a sink in my room. Shared bathroom which was not a problem. I was on the top floor! Luckily I travel light. Breakfast offerings were varied for a budget hotel so great value there. Lovely old building with character! It was a treat to stay some where a little different on my business trip.

The staff were friendly and the airport close by. Other than that, it wasn’t a great stay for us. The mattress was incredibly uncomfortable & moved and squeaked on the bed frame with any movement. The furnishings were not retro chic but just dated & dingy. The bathroom had no window nor fan and did not smell good and had padded faux brick wall covering (think tacky padded cell). I’ve stayed in many cool old hotels and this one has potential to be that but is in need of some serious upgrades.

The staff were friendly and helpful. I’m so glad we had a room on the first floor as they do not have an elevator. Parking was less than ideal and we had to park pretty far away both nights we were there. Breakfast was okay.

Charming hotel

This is a really nice hotel in a cool old building on the very west end of the downtown area. It was more reasonably priced than the other hotels and included a generous continental breakfast. My son and I were walking, and we like walking, but it was a little bit of a trek from the hotel to the main part of Portland for those who prefer to be a little more centrally located. Also, because it’s an older building, the water temperature in the shower took a while to change from cold to hot and vice versa, and there was no fan in the bathroom, but otherwise I really liked everything… It was clean, well decorated, and overall a really nice vibe.
