While the hotel and staff are excellent, frankly Portland is a crime-ridden disaster. . Human feces on the sidewalks, “homeless” everywhere, and trash strewn along all streams, hillsides, and sidewalks. Most anywhere we travel, nationally and internationally, there are construction cranes everywhere, indicating investment. In Portland we saw only 1 crane, telling us this isn’t an area attractive to businesses. The locals voted to legalize all drugs and defund the police, they chose the community they now have. People and businesses are obviously choosing to go elsewhere. Can’t blame them.
