Nice hotel for a quick stay

Pretty good hotel just outside of downtown. Fairly commutable with buses nearby if you're not driving because you're very drunk from all the craft beers Portland can offer. desk employees were super nice and the breakfast was passable when everyone is realistically going for local donuts and coffee. But the coffee service being 24/7 at the lobby is nice

Gracious staff in older, comfortable inn.

Comfortable room with small dining area in the lobby for breakfast and then drinks/snacks all day/night. Always someone at the desk 24/7. We’ve stayed here 3X over the past few years and appreciate the quiet pace. Bring your sound machine if traffic sounds bother you. The staff are all very accommodating and gracious. This is our favorite place to stay in Portland and it is away from the commotion of downtown

Nice Place, be in shape to climb stairs...

The hotel was nice...a little eclectic, but nice. The room was nice clean and the bed was comfortable. Being in town next to the hospital was a little loud for traffic but bearable. The thing that hurt was there is No Elevator, and the staircases are all very steep. We got winded going to our 3rd floor room, but once in the room it was pleasant.

What a lovely Inn and such a friendly staff. They were so helpful. We are seniors and didn't realize we had booked a room on the third floor. There is no elevator and the house keeper carried my wife's bag downstairs to the lobby for us. This meant so much as my wife has trouble with stairs.

Very nice people in a very charming hotel, european style, with real keys. Room 108 is on the street, ask for a quieter room if it's possible. The breakfast place is very small but you can bring your plate in your room. Limited menu, no egg no bacon but bagels, muffins, cereals and fresh fruits. Enjoy !
