Liked: Didn’t have breakfast.
Disliked: The lighting (especially bedside) was not conducive to reading. The lock on the door was not secure enough for my sense of security (there was no additional lock once in room.)

Pleasant

Liked: One mini bar free for my BD. The person at the desk the day we left. Portland is a lovely city.
Disliked: The bathroom door would not close, there were holes in the wall, there was very little furniture, paint coming off in shower, dishes left out on table in the hallway, no restaurant, the location was noisy due to homeless people. My niece's room was very noisey due to a restaurant below. I tried to reserve a restaurant or get recommendations from the hotel before arriving and all we got was their standard list. When I complained we did get some money back - 7% of our bill.

Superb

We recommend based on the...

Liked: I really liked the overall vibe of the hotel, from it's stained glass windows, art, sitting room with fireplace, games and books, and the very welcoming staff. We loved the sheets and pillows -- so soft and comfy. We liked that it was easy to get to from the celtics game and restuarant we choose. We either walked or took a lift.
Disliked: The room was nice but could have used a few repairs to the bathroom -- the hot ran out after my partner took a shower, so that was a miss. Also, the shower head appeared to have a knob to adjust the flow, but it had been broken off. The shower tile was once very pretty, but was in need of some grouting repairs (lots of chips and missing pieces). The bathroom wood floor was very worn, and it either needs to be refinished or replaced. Lastly, I know that older architecture is smaller, but definitely would recommend a small stool or some type of additional shelf be added to the bathroom for toiletries. Also, I would add a small table by the chair in the room. Also, a 'landing strip' by the exit (one that folds up would work).
