First and foremost, the staffs lack of concern for the guests needs addressing -health and safety issues was sorely lacking There was fire code violation (admitting in a letter that the smoke alarm was not connected) where the patrons cound have died if there was a fire, is quite shocking and the room being unsafe due to the lock being broken on the door of the overnight parking garage. It was inhabitable due to paint fumes and the new carpet thgat is clearly a health and safety issue. We were not told there were resonvations being made to the hotel. There was a car, in the unlocked garage, with its rear window smashed in. It remained untouched for hours, even after it was reported.

For the price, very reasonable. Trolly cars were at times loud (if you had the windows open)as the train tracks run on the street right next to the hotel. On the other side was the river and it was pretty nice...those rooms ran at $160+...we paid $75.00 a night plus $15.00 a nite for parking. Rooms were very clean and the bed was not too soft. We will return in February and may stay at the same hotel...except on the other side---to avoid the train tracks. Portland was beautiful that weekend. If you like Japanese food, check out the place on 23rd. street. Good fish and Good price....AVOID THE GREEK REST. DOWNTOWN.

Not clean, noisey, tub did not drain, room was hot I felt that because I paid a lower rate I should be happy with the room I got.

It was a very pleasant stay for our family where we spent 7 nights at this hotel. Location is excellent; close to shops, restaurants, MAX, and Waterfront Park (for the July 4th fireworks). Yes, it's noisy sometimes and I wish the AC works better, but overall, the positives outweigh the negatives and I'll definitely come back and stay at this hotel again.

It was one of those trips where anything that could go wrong, did. Due to the construction going on in downtown Portland, and around our hotel, we spent nearly an hour driving in circles (we're persistent) before resorting to calling the hotel and receiving turn-by-turn directions.

This hotel is right on the waterfront (Tom McCall Waterfront Park) and walking distance to tons of great shops and Portland Saturday Market. The rooms have huge pillows on the bed. We were able to put 4 people on the two beds, with one on the floor sleeping on a bed made of the extra pillows.
