Pros:

The gear library, the free arcade, the shuffleboard and all the games, and the party room, and the fires on the patio...so good

Cons:

The lights on the patio had a terrible electric whine that the excessive volume level of current top 40s music blasting through the speakers could not drown out.

Great overall experience if you want to get a taste of what the city of Portland is like.
Pros:

I liked the location of the hotel. It was near some food spots and a convenience store 5 minutes away that my spouse and I visited during our stay. After check-in, we were informed about s'mores and live music, which my spouse and I enjoyed. My spouse and I went to some food carts late at night that were about 5-10 minutes from the hotel. It was a very nicely kept, clean hotel with friendly staff all around.

Cons:

The only thing that could have been better was the view from the room, but that is to be expected when getting a hotel in the city.

Pros:

It was very pretty outside

Cons:

The room wasn’t very clean at all. There was hair in the bathroom and a very suspicious stain on the sheets it was late at night when I noticed so I didn’t bring it up but I wasn’t able to use the sheets due to their condition.
