Reviews and Ratings
Staying at The Society Hotel was a pleasant experience. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, although a bit on the pricey side considering the lack of a private bathroom. The staff was accommodating, offering choices for room features like inward or outward-facing windows.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although a bit dark, were clean, comfortable, and quiet. However, the pricing was a bit high considering the room size. The location was excellent for exploring downtown Portland but had some drawbacks due to a growing homeless population. The dining experience was basic but satisfying, and the overall service was good.
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 service was excellent, making my stay feel very welcoming. The location, while a bit edgy, added to the hotel's quirky charm and was super convenient for my stay.

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to a bunch of places and next to the public transport station.

The dining experience in the cafe below was yummy and carefully prepared at an affordable price.
The hotel rooms were in great condition, very quiet, but a bit dark and in need of more light and airing out. Location was perfect for walking distance to major attractions downtown, although it was a little noisy. The dining was yummy and carefully prepared, offering fresh fish. The hotel provides a small bar and seating area for various activities.
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.
The Pride Parade at The Society Hotel's rooms are very clean, albeit a bit small and a little pricey for not having a private bathroom. The service is top-notch, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, a welcome drink, tours/ticket assistance, and happy hour. The location, although a little sketchy with a growing homeless population, is close to shops, bars, eateries, and main business areas. The cafe dining, although basic, is affordable and carefully prepared. The hotel facilities are impressive, enhancing the stay experience.
The hotel offers simple yet nicely put together rooms with better views than others, making for a comfortable stay despite the slightly higher pricing. The location is a major plus, being centrally located in downtown Portland near many key attractions. The dining options are yummy and prepared with care, offering an affordable meal experience.
The hotel was funky and stylish, with spotlessly clean rooms including two bathrooms, one directly in front of my door. The shared bathroom was also impeccable. The location was fantastic, close to numerous restaurants and the waterfront, making it really convenient for exploring Portland quickly. The dining experience in the Lobby cafe was yummy and carefully prepared, offering a basic but great and very affordable menu. However, the presence of homeless people around the Society was a small drawback during our stay.
