Guests say
Overall, guests had significant complaints regarding customer service, often citing feelings of neglect and dissatisfaction with the staff's attitude. Many noted hidden fees that added to a sense of being overcharged, particularly in relation to valet parking. The location of the hotel was a highlight for many guests, praised for its convenience to shopping and dining. However, issues such as small room sizes and cleanliness concerns were also raised, indicating a need for updates and improvements.

When we arrived, we were told of an amenity fee for each day we stayed. We were unaware of this fee when we booked. We were told that the fees would be removed if we purchased food at the their restaurant. Hidden fees are the worst ways to acquire customers and project good customer service. They also charge a high price for valet parking. $90 for two nights! The elevator broke while we were there...

The hotel was beautiful, and the staff was fantastic. There was however, a nightclub directly across the street, which made sleeping very challenging both nights we stayed there. The amenities fee was not disclosed when I booked the room and while I don’t mind paying it, I would’ve rather known beforehand

Everything was great except for some minor issues. The mirror in the room was a little wonky and the bed seemed to be tilted towards the headboard. The snacks in the hallway was a great touch and elevated the experience. The lobby was beautiful.

We were attending the NEMA conference in Portland and very much enjoyed our stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The shared guest spaces are well maintained. We enjoyed the fireplace in the lobby and the bartender was the perfect mix of helpful and fun but also respected our space.

Pros (+) The staff was great- the valet attendants were very professional (and the parking was actually cheaper than the city parking garages) and the front desk staff were very helpful. They even had a complimentary car service! You also can't beat the location of the hotel- a minute walk and you're surrounded by beautiful shops and restaurants!
Cons (-) Our room was near the elevator and the pantry- due to the proximity of those two things, it was pretty loud throughout the night. There was a sign next to the pantry encouraging people to be quiet but I'm not sure that advice was taken. While the wooden floors were beautiful, I don't think they did a lot to muffle noise when people walked to their rooms in the middle of the night.
