I loved the style and vibes of this hotel! I personally love staying in quirky funky places and this met the mark for me- but for guests who need more privacy or easy and accessible parking, I'd skip this pla. The location is great for exploring downtown Portland, two blocks from Powell's and close to so many shops!

The place is wonderful. Very historic, walking distance from a lot of fun stuff, the rooms are cute and the beds are comfortable. Bring some sandals or something, you share bathrooms with everyone on the floor. The soaking tub was lovely. The wines were fantastic. The cocktails in Al's were wonderful. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Probably the best experience I've had in a hotel.
