The rooms are small. I opted for a private bathroom. The staff was friendly. I was hoping for a hot breakfast but the bagels, oatmeal, cereal, and yogurt was adequate. Limited parking.

This hotel is a classic old hotel in a part of town that has gone downhill. We love the hotel but not the neighborhood so much.

Great value for the price we paid. Great central location. Not on the water, but not far and easy to get around town from this location. Limited parking outback, but if you can get a space perfect. Extra park across the street. Easy. Small rooms but quite comfortable. Will definitely return. Thank you.

The 1st place I'll check next time I'm coming

Excellent staff. A clean and cozy room. A quirky building. Walkable location. Buffet continental breakfast. Very reasonable rates. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a nice, easy stay in Portland that doesn't break the bank.

Charming and clean

I was impressed with the cleanliness, friendly staff, and appreciated that they don't charge extra for dogs. We were on the first floor with a king bed and jetted tub which were on the newer side, ,however the room was very generic compared to some of the more traditional and stately looking images online. Those must be rooms on the higher floors.
