Fun hotel with lots to look at. Conveniently located restaurant and bar on 1st floor. Nice bars in walking distance. Walking distance to China Town and water front. Portland appears cleaner than years before.
Breakfast at Hal’s diner was delish
Try Xin Ding Dumpling near Voo Doo donut place …you know the one

This historic building has fantastic vibes and was within easy walking distance to our music venue and Powell’s - definitely will consider this place again when needing to stay in Portland. (Rooms are small, but that’s a perk imo!)

Always a favorite spot to see concerts and stay. Its downtown Portland, but it’s really honestly the best option if you’re walking and don't need to go far. Our first choice when seeing concerts at Crystal Ballroom. Also food in the restaurant is amazing.

It was a good stay! Fascinated by the hotel's history, and appreciated the staff's willing to be of assistance. Was not exactly expecting for the bathroom to be shared, I may have glossed over that fact. Wished there was some kind of mini fridge in the room for any leftover foods to avoid any chance of food going bad otherwise anything I had to eat will be just tossed out. Noise in environment around rooms were ok, you could hear footsteps from other visitors, but it isn't as bad as you think! Would stay here again although, and try out more things to do in the area!
