This is a lovely in-town hotel, very clean and very helpful and friendly staff. We especially appreciated the nice touch of cookies in the evening and breakfast which started at 6:00 am because we had a very early doctor appointment to get to.

Unusual nice old hotel
This is a funky old hotel in excellent condition conveniently located for us. Staff are friendly and helpful, plenty of parking. Not a cookie cutter hotel if that's what you're looking for.

Reliable Portland hotel
Not sure we got the room we paid for because it was supposed to have bay windows but the room was fine. Because the room was booked through Expedia the staff didn’t know what we paid compared to room we got. Otherwise, the place is an excellent choice for budget travelers. Be aware…no elevators for those having problems with stairs. Request a room on first floor.

Quaint older hotel
Clean quaint hotel, but I did not realized that the room I booked it did not have a private bathroom, That was very inconvenient for me. Otherwise the room was fine.

a really nice place to stay for a solo adventurer. it’s about a 5 minute (or less) walk to the bus stop that takes you to downtown portland with ease. walls are pretty thin though, so if you’re a light sleeper be advised (i was not :P)

A cute and quaint little inn, it was perfect for our city stay. It was easy to access from the highway and easy to get around town by city bus. The staff was helpful. Light sleepers should request a room away from the main street which tends to get noisy at various times through the night.

Room was dark and smelled sort of dirty. The blanket on the bed was threadbare and had holes in some places. The A/C unit used for heat smelled bad and never really got warm. The parking was so limited that I had to park on the street both nights.
There is no elevator so I had to pull my luggage up a steep and narrow staircase to my room.
Staff was friendly. There was coffee and tea available at all hours. Overall it was just okay but much too expensive for what was offered.
