Romantic getaway, not family vacation

Breakfast not included, restaurant attached was slightly overpriced for the quality, not the quantity of food. Rooms and shared bath super clean.

Super fun, funky, unique hotel experience! The “soaking pool” was actually a hot tub (no jets) which was a fun surprise! The bed was very comfy and the staff was incredibly friendly. I had so much fun staying here with my friend. My ONLY complaint was that the walls are thin and windows don’t do much to block outdoor sound, all due to it being a historic building (honestly what else can you expect for the price?!). Parking is $26 overnight at the garage down the street, which is a steal compared to other cities. Free coffee in the morning is GOOD and I’m picky!!

Really sus lack of clarity in their advertising about the lack of bathrooms. This is more of a hostel. They need to be much more upfront in their online profiles

The property was very interesting as historical so was a little different. Great staff & location. Just be aware that no TV in room or bathroom-just a sink. There were several bathrooms on the floor so no problem & always clean. We would stay there again.

I liked it but they should make it more clear that you do need t get your own bathroom. Likewise, this may have been bad timing but the bathroom across the hall from us had blood in the shower and was dirty. In all fairness we were too busy to let anyone know.

We LOVED our quick check in … We were an hour early and thought they would not let us check in, But they checked us in no problem. They acknowledged our dog and were kind and professional. The hotel is located Downtown Portland and the city started at 6:30am on a Saturday with a drill hammer to hammer the sidewalk right in front of our room. Not the best way to wake up. We loved the salt water pool. WE WILL VISIT AGAIN … the shared bathroom was Always clean A+
