Clean, great location and very well stocked kitchen. Very quiet inside too. All in all a very relaxing, functional and convenient place to stay while in Portland - if you are looking for a self sufficient stay.

Second time staying at the hotel. Room is always spotless clean. The room this time (#402) has some noise (could be the heat system). But other than that, everything is great!

Incredibly impressed with everything start to finish. Our 2 bedroom room was spacious , quiet and clean. The property is within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Perfect alternative to the traditional hotel experience for those looking for a little more room.

Comfortable and clean with great location
The room was beautiful and comfortable and location was perfect! The parking and check in process was different from a normal hotel because it was all electronic with your key being downloaded on an app. First time I did it this way, so it was a bit of a learning curve. I had to call for parking info and someone answered the phone right away and was very helpful. We would definitely stay again!

Snuggly Stay
We had a very nice stay. The ease of the parking and the security was reassuring. I loved snuggling up on the couch when the weather wasn't at its best.
