The hotel was perfect for our getaway, located in the downtown area close to many places and next to the public transport station. The room size was ideal with a queen bed and a sink/mirror, although it was a bit cool at times. The presence of homeless individuals outside could occasionally lead to confrontations, yet the easy access to shops, restaurants, and attractions like the Saturday Market and Voodoo doughnuts made it a great choice for a private room in downtown Portland.

The hotel rooms were cozy and clean, albeit a bit dark and needing more light and airing out. It's a suitable choice for solo travelers or short stays due to its very cozy feel. The service was satisfactory, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, welcome drink, and tours/ticket assistance. The location is a strong point, being walking distance to popular downtown attractions like Saturday Market, Powell's Bookstore, and various dining options, but some may find it unsettling at night due to nearby homeless individuals. The dining experience was basic but satisfying, with affordable options available in the lobby cafe. Overall, the hotel offers a comfortable and convenient stay in the heart of downtown Portland.

The hotel has a convenient location in Old Town, close to everything and just a 15-minute walk from the heart of downtown. The rooms are small but suitable for a one-night stay; however, they are a bit away from the elevator in a number of private rooms. The service offered includes dry cleaning, housekeeping, a welcome drink, tours/ticket assistance, and happy hour. The dining options are basic but great and very affordable, with French toasts available. Though the area around the hotel is interesting to explore on foot, it can feel a little unsafe at night when traveling alone due to the presence of homeless people. The eccentricity of the location adds to the hotel's quirkiness.
