I recently spent a couple of nights at this hotel, and overall, it was a pretty good experience. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast options were decent enough to get us started in the mornings. However, I didn't love that our room faced an interior wall, which made it feel quite dark. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but I would have preferred more variety in the dining options. All in all, it's a great place if you're looking for a convenient stay in downtown Portland.
