Pleasure weekend getaway 5/23/26
Pros:

The view from our room was beautiful, employee was very nice and they're valet fast and easy no long wait also 24hrs attendant . The whole place was spot clean and smells good, it's cozy and inviting if we ever go back I'd stay there again...

Cons:

Homeless on the other side of the street after we were driving late at night we ended up driving on the other side and it was homeless street but it was quite other than that nothing negative to say.

Best in Class
Pros:

Extremely nice and helpful staff, easy check in and convenient locations for views, restaurants and city exploration. Very comfortable and clean room!

Cons:

You can hear the airplanes, but its not overbearing. There isn't much you can do about that for the location. Not a ding, just informational. Still loved everything about it!

Very nice rooms and staff
Pros:

I only paid for a partial view and it was a very beautiful view. The room was spacious and really well appointed-loved the leather details. Staff was helpful and when the tv didn't work responded quickly. Be advised it's a little different concept where the restaurants and bars are seperate businesses. 13 coins was awesome. Rooftop bar was not managed well at all-understaffed and lacking clean plates/silverware.

Super comfortable room with outstanding location
Pros:

The room was very spacious, the bedding was super comfortable, the bathroom was spacious with a separate door for the toilet. The rooftop bar was great and had outstanding views of the Columbia river.

Cons:

I would’ve liked bath robes and self parking would’ve been nice. The $29/day destination fee seemed excessive considering there was no pool and bathrobes were not provided. So we paid $29 a day for the fitness center ?

Pros:

On the water. Walkable to restaurants and waterfront. Rooms were nice and modern.

Cons:

While I understand that there isn’t anything the hotel can do about the situation, I was not expecting motorcycles to be riding up and down the waterfront late at night. It was noisy and prevented us from sleeping which at that point, I understood the ear plugs provided by the hotel.

Model Service
Pros:

We spent three days at the Indigo. Alexandra at the front desk was a joy to work with. She was always quick to take care of small details and did so with a smile. I already plan to go back and look forward to working with her again. She is a model for hotel customer service.
