Given there's no staff onsite, questions and communication are all remote, leading to delay in response. Rooms were cold and heating was hard to adjust.

A stay at Blind Tiger is like visiting a gracious and stylish friend. There are so many details that helped to make me feel welcome and at home. And the coffee in the morning is delicious! Located in a residential neighborhood instead of a tourist area adds to feeling like a local. And I appreciated the excellent recommendations for places to eat in the "Guide" on the website. Also Check-in and check-out were effortless; even though they were contact-less still felt personal.

Staff was so helpful and the breakfast was delicious! Our shower drained a little slow (old homes!) but they fixed it right away. It is a beautiful hotel in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood, but we could still walk to everything.

Almost perfect

Fantastic stay. We had the Stovall room which was very spacious. Bed was huge and comfy and the bathroom was also very big. Nice shower with lots of water pressure and nice products. Service was super friendly and everything was clearly explained. We’re lucky enough to be able to park next to the building. Only thing that could finish things off would be a small fridge in the room and a coffee maker.

Adorable spot in Portland, great location, really cool concept. Felt like an upgraded vacation rental. You don’t have the whole place to yourself but it basically feels like it. Check in and everything was seamless. The local recommendations, games, and snacks were a nice touch. We loved plays scrabble and drinking wine in the parlor. We do wish some items were a bit nicer given the cost. The bathroom could've had nicer facilities (cheap toilet seat, low water pressure) our bed was a rickety. The breakfast delivered was a nice touch but the contents itself kinda fell flat, not as curated as the website made it seem. Overall we still enjoyed our stay and the concept, but the website may have upsold it a bit.

Such a beautiful experience

WOW! What an amazing hotel! We had such a beautiful stay and LOVED Portland. The room was so comfortable and quiet. Beautifully appointed too. As an interior designer, I kept taking pictures and videos of all the beautiful details. The hotel company left the most amazing list of restaurants and things to do and we’re so glad we took their advice. We found spots we would never have known about otherwise. The Japanese restaurant they recommend was OUT OF THIS WORLD!

If you travel for business not ideal

This hotel is slightly more upscale than your typical business chain, and it may be a great option for leisure travelers. However, for a business stay, it fell a bit short. The limited breakfast hours (8–10 AM) meant we had to leave without eating, and I couldn’t find any coffee available in the lobby before heading out. Additionally, the room didn’t have a desk, which made it difficult to get work done, something I rarely come across in hotels. On a positive note, the snack room was a nice touch and much appreciated.
