Great location. Can walk downtown, performong-arts centers, the waterfront, and to PSU. Small room, beds were ok but pillows were hard as rocks. Breakfast was not great. Packaged hardboiled eggs and some bagels, toast, oatmeal, and yogurt. Weren't offered the complimentary water or 24-hour Futness passes and werent allowed in the gane room. Will explore other options next time in Portland.

I liked how modern the property itself was. Enjoyed the fire pits and the game room. My only complaint is that they didn’t have plugs by the bed and I had to unplug the safe to use the outlet

Proposal weekend trip

Had a great trip. Parking overnight does cost but it is nothing crazy and still overall a good price for the hotel in total. We traveled here for a surprise proposal and had a blast staying in the downtown area and exploring Portland altogether. The S’mores were a fun element!
