There is no pool on site. 24hr fitness shares the facilities however they don’t give access to kids 13 and younger. We got this hotel because of the indoor pool and my child was not able to use

It is the first time there was no house keeping everyday. Also i would like to have clean towels everyday which was not happening. No proper instant coffee. It should have an adaptor for foreign customers. Anyway it was close to everything. That was the main thing. And not very far to walk to the restaurant or find our morning coffee from starbucks.

Me and my dog BLU

My stay was good. I wish they offered larger rooms for people traveling with large dog. The space was small for my large dog and I. The outdoor courtyard was nice, but there was no flat grass area to go do their business. Going outside at night so my dog can relieve himself is not very safe in that area.

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel charged me a hefty fee for an early check-in, which felt unreasonable and disappointing. Additionally, the breakfast was extremely underwhelming—just a few bagels and some cheese. It certainly didn’t meet the expectations of a proper continental breakfast.

Unique, super cool boutique hotel with all the charms. Beautiful lobby, great restaurant, fantastic game room and gear room although we didn’t get to try any of the outdoor stuff due to inclement weather. We made s’mores in the evening and enjoyed happy hour in the bar. The rooms are so cute and the beds and pillows and bath products are spectacular. I always love and appreciate blackout drapes. It was a little hot in the room, but if you just turned the heat off, it cools down nicely. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again. We stayed here to go to the Portland Trailblazers game and it was very easy to take mass transit to and from the game.

A lot extra charges, but good hotel.

There are many hidden fees at this property that can be found on web site. The restaurant was great, and close to amenities. I wish we knew true costs when, booking dog friendly fee was 45, amenities fee 35 and parking 40.
