Pros:

Breakfast was tasty, decor was honestly kinda cool, staff were lovely.

Cons:

Not putting plates out for the breakfast buffet was awkward didn’t know who to ask, 6$ bottle waters in the hotel room? Wasn’t confident if asking for a microwave would’ve cost more money.

Pros:

The atmosphere was excellent

Cons:

The places I have stayed in the past don’t charge for a “complimentary” breakfast. That was disappointing

My Go-to hotel in downtown pdx
Pros:

King suites are large, clean, modern and good value. Solid breakfast, friendly staff. Reliable internet with good-enough speed (~25 mbps). Decent gym for a hotel, can do a complete upper body workout but useless for a leg day.

Cons:

Nothing
