A few short days in Portland and this was the perfect location for our walking adventures.
Pros:

The location was great, we could walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go! The pier for our sailboat cruise and the ferry to Peaks was a short walk.

Cons:

The valet area was small and crowded during check in time, which makes sense, just a heads up for those checking in.
