We had a quick visit to the city of Portland. This hotel was perfectly located in the city within walking distance of coffee shops and restaurants. We loved the quirkiness of the hotel decor and would definitely stay here again

The whole family enjoyed the unique characteristics on the lobby and rooms. This will be one of our favorite places to stay. Highly recommend if you like personality.
The hotel was shabby. The wine glasses in the room were filthy. There was always an excuse as to why they couldn't do something. We won't be going back. Beware the "resort fee".
Property is described exactly as presented. Hotel lobby decor is of old charm and elegance, fireplace, baby grand piano, wall to ceiling windows, plush seating and chairs. Rooms are more of the same and comfortable. Check in,out was seamless with professional and courteous staff. Enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again.
This a fun, eccentrically styled hotel. Big rooms! Bed and furnishings were great. You are right downtown so you can walk to great venues and restaurants. The only downside to rooms is We did not have a fridge or microwave in room so that could be a deal breaker for some.
The room and property were very clean. All the decorations were lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were very nice

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This property has a "destination" fee of $30 per day where you get to use $15 a day in the restaurant or "market" sadly the restaurant is only open Fri and Sat. And the "market" doesnt have many options. We picked this location because we had stayed here 6 months ago but were saddened that the restaurant was unavailable. Also the morning snacks were next to non existent. We will definitely choice a different hotel in the future.
The listing is misleading. I picked the property because it was reasonably priced. After booking a no cancellation reservation. I received an email that said that we had to pay $50 a day for valet parking and $30 a day for the resort fee. I ended up paying an extra $80 per day to stay at this resort. The staff was wonderful! The location was good. I think that the lack of transparency in the listing is unacceptable. The hotel is very old and needs repairs, but mostly I’m upset about the lack of transparency on the true price to stay here.
This is an updated historic property. They have done a very good job keeping character while adding modern touches. Lovely setting and room. I would definitely stay here again.
