Staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed one night (2 kids - 2 queens). Very comfy bed, generous checkout time at midday and flexible valet as we collected our car at 2:30pm after exploring Portland and heading onto our next pit stop. Very clean and had everything we needed. Had we stayed longer we’d have checked out the pool.

Overall great location and very spacious. Only negative was the room temperature - it’s clear an establishment that has control of room temperatures when it appears the room is empty/no movement. So at night, the thermostat would go up to 76-77 degrees every couple of hours so kept waking up to turn AC back on
