Nice hotel. But bring your own quality bedding.
Pros:

Nicely refurbished older hotel.

Cons:

Crappy, inferior bedding. Quality of sheets was that of a cheap dive hotel.

Pros:

Molto bella la struttura con una stupenda hall con camino (finto), pianoforte (vero) e scacchi
Comodo anche il garage a fianco con servizio valet
Colazione forse non all'altezza del resto mancando tutta la parte "salata"

The property was well cared for and staff was great. Unfortunately, I will not return to dt Portland
Pros:

The hotel was fun -- avant-garde interiors were always a surprise. The morning waiter for breakfast (Brian) was wonderful! He was full of joy and a great way to begin any day.

Cons:

The drain in the bathtub/shower was VERY slow. A quick shower left you standing in water above your ankles. There was no cold water available after about 7 a.m., so brush your teeth early! Downtown Portland has an unfortunate homeless problem. Human dignity is important, but I really did not feel safe seeing people mainline drugs on the sidewalk.
