Pleasant in the Pearl

We love staying here for the walkable location to most things in PDX that we want to enjoy. The furnishings are starting to show their age, but the bed is one of the most comfortable we've had at a mid-price hotel and the sheets are soft. The complimentary wine and cheese reception in the lobby each evening was a nice cap on the day.

The bedroom and bathroom of our suite were beautiful, clean and huge. Also, unusually good lighting in the rooms. The pullout sofa was old and very uncomfortable. One of the elevators was out of order during our stay which was kind of a pain. Older building so not much to do about that
