This is a very nicely updated boutique hotel with superior staff. The bellmen and doormen greeted us very courteously and were well informed of the area's attractions. The front desk also gave us excellent advice, and their client services staff contacted me prior to our stay and accommodated my request for a view of Mt. Hood and a separate hot... More

A very nice boutique hotel wonderfully located in downtown Portland. The staff were extraordinary, e.g., I had to force a room service deliverer to accept a tip. Never had that happen before. We had a King Suite -- maybe a bit small relative to other hotels, but still very nice. We had a king bed in a room that had... More
