Pros:

Nice hotel staff.

Cons:

Across from a homeless shelter. No parking available only an expensive valet service. Terrible room noise cancellation. Unresponsive temperature controls. Bed was thin and uncomfortable. Cannot adjust shower head angle.

Pros:

Cool old, renovated facility with good vibes. Generally a good base for exploring with walkability to bars and restaurants, public transit. Appreciated the (cool looking!) fridge and pretty good coffee maker in room. Room had a cool layout.

Cons:

-I think this hotel is big enough to add an amenity like a small gym and/or very basic business center (I had to go to Office Depot to print like 8 pages)
-I wish hotels would have a clock (visible from the bed at night). My ideal would be an alarm clock radio, but I'd settle for just a clock visible from bed.
-Newspapers (Daily: Oregonian or New York Times) and/or alt-weekly (Portland Mercury) available in lobby would be a nice amenity that would fit this hotel's aesthetic
-My room was a bit dirty. I found detritus from a previous stay (bottle caps, a glowstick, small other bits of trash) in a few places (mostly under the sink near wastebasket, but also in another part of room near the bed.

I got zero rest because of the horrible bed, and the many drug addicts.
Pros:

The location was close to the conference.

Cons:

The bed was horrible, mold in the clothes steamer, and the people smoking fentanyl all around the building.
