Best price for parking in downtown under $40/day (open lot across the street and underground parking beneath hotel). Very helpful staff. Hotel is close to major sights of Portland, great restaurants, and public transportation stops within steps of the hotel.

Corner king with kitchen room was excellent. Beautiful view of the city, very clean, extremely comfortable bed, very roomy, coffee maker and coffee provided. Great quality ropes provided for our use. Very good bottle of wine per stay provided plus wine tasting every day from 5-6 pm at the beautiful lobby area. Wonderful staff, easy accessible paid parking. However, it is very unfortunate the area around the hotel didn't feel too safe. But the hotel was perfect.
