Pros:

This is a cute little boutique hotel in The Chinatown district in city center. Super easy to get to by the metro rail; the Red line from thru airport drops off a block and a half away and the yellow and green lines are two and three blocks away in the other direction. The staff was particularly helpful both before and during my stay. The rooftop is lovely.

Cons:

This has nothing to do with the hotel itself, but this neighborhood clearly has some issues with unhoused drug users, who are all over the streets and make a lot of ruckus at all hours of the night. I wasn’t sure if it was safe enough to walk two blocks at 4 am to catch the train back to the airport. That said, the building itself is secure and the staff does a great job to keep folks from entering the property who do not belong there.

Enjoyed my stay overall and was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the hotel.
Pros:

Was nice, cozy, clean and convenient. Just blocks from downtown shops and several entertainment venues. Staff was friendly and efficient. Overall was a good experience. Will likely come stay again when visiting PDX. ;)

Cons:

I was a bit uncomfortable with the coed bunk room, perhaps a mens and womens dorm, separate would have been more inviting for me personally. Having stayed in the bunk room, a few wall hooks inside the bunk area would have made things easier. Also would suggest towel hooks outside the bunk since the hotel suggests using your towel at least twice. Really no place for wet towel besides stuffing it between the bunk slats. Also maybe a shoe shelf/rack. Last thought was a community TV for the bunks. As a foot note; Ive not yet received my $50 secure deposit back and ive been back home in SF over a week ?

Affordable and very nice!
Pros:

I stayed in a private room and it was gorgeous, and aside from sharing a bathroom (very clean and high-end, never had a problem waiting for a bathroom to open), I felt as if I was in a higher-end hotel for less money! It's easy to access from the MAX red line coming in from the airport, and I was able to check in very late without a problem after a long day of travel. The staff are super welcoming. All-around great stay!

Cons:

Nothing!
