Acceptable.
Pros:

Clean rooms and friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

Lobby was not as clean as it should be. Coffee dispenser was often empty. When they did fill it they didn’t clean the trash on the countertop. The tissue dispenser had 5 tissues when refilled. Had to pay for bottled water. None free. Accustomed to at least a couple free bottles.

Overall the stay went well, besides the restaurant.
Pros:

I really like the proximity to everything. There were lots of things to do within a walking distance. The valet staff was also very helpful and hospitable.

Cons:

I didn't like the restaurant service at all. My partner accidentally spilled her drink and instead of remaking or taking it off the bill the bartender charged it. I had also ordered a drink that wasn't made but took it as a sign to not order. She also had this friend (long blond haired dude) at the bar that made the experience even worse and also made it sound like he was getting free drinks most of the night.

Pros:

Valley parking was nice, all though a bit pricey.

Cons:

Could not get the wifi to work on my laptop. I was working with the hotels internet provider and they said they were working on it and would call me back. Never heard from them again and ended up having to hot spit off my phone to do my work.

The stay was fine and the room was clean and as described in the booking.
Pros:

Beds were comfortable and linens were newer/ very clean.

Cons:

There was nothing exceptional about this hotel to make it worth $225 a night. The rooms were clean and as described. The lobby was small and pretty sterile, with a small amount of seating and it felt more like a waiting room. There is a pretty nondescript bar/diner attached to the hotel. No bar credits, continental breakfast, or perks. Nothing special that would set this hotel apart from others. If you just need a clean room to sleep in, it works.

Beklentilerimizi karşılamadı ve pis
Pros:

Otelin konumu güzel ve merkezi.

Cons:

Otel çok pis, temiz bir odaya gelmeyi düşünürken klozet kenarları ve küvet içi pis ti. Yatak çarşafları temiz değil lekeler vardı. Günlü temizlik yapılmıyor. Parasıyla da olsa otelde kahvaltıservisi bulunmuyor. Temizlik istedik sadece yataklarımızı düzeltmişler.

Affordable...
Pros:

I liked the price and staff was awesome.

Cons:

The rooms carpet needed shampooed as there were stains, dried buggers and what looked like a considerable amount of dirt from heavy traffic. Shower needed caulked, no microwave and light over coffee machine strobed. Also ice machine was broken on the floor.

Pros:

The staff was friendly and accommodating. They were quick to right any concern and were very knowledgeable about local attractions. The room was spacious and clean.... felt very upscale.
That view!!!! Man I was in vacation heaven. Right next door is the food truck cart court, so there was no problem with variety, and the restaurant in the lobby handled drinks very well. Pioneer court mall was a 3-5 minute walk away for shopping which was perfect to enjoy the great Portland weather.
I absolutely will be staying here for all my future visits!!!!

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like, had nothing to do with the hotel itself. The Uber from here to the airport was $90
So if you have an early flight, be prepared for that fee, otherwise take the train

Stay somewhere else
Cons:

I asked for a river view only to be told there are no river views. A paper cup was stained. The shower leaked. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable. The staff seemed to not want to be bothered and kept pushing off questions.

Very bad
Cons:

I was given room 609 where the faucet was not draining and bathroom door was not locking. Tracked with an infant and 2 adults and had a bad time. Complained to staff and they sent someone who made it worse and dismantled the faucet, left it as is and fixed nothing. There was a foul stench as well when we came back. We were given another room for next couple days of stay which met expectations. I was promised a compensation let’s see.

Comoda estancia en el downtown
Pros:

El personal amable. Los cuartos grandes y cómodos. Buena cama.

Cons:

Algunas instalaciones estaban un poquito deterioradas. Con un poco de inversión, no mucho podria mejorar mucho. La zona es un poco polemica, mucha gente viviendo en la calle y a veces uno puede no sentirse seguro.
