Don’t let comments about the “neighborhood” dissuade you from booking here (anywhere in Portland is going to have the same issue with the houseless population) and if you’re extra concerned, there was a security person at the door every night. The hotel is perfectly located in walking distance to everything surrounded by tons of local coffee joints and food (and voodoo donuts is right around the corner if that’s your thing). The hotel is beautiful aesthetically and super quiet considering the surrounding nightlife. I would recommend, if you’re sensitive to noise, ask for a room ending in 01-06 as they’re on the opposite side of the clubs across the street (but the room was so quiet we really weren’t bothered). The staff was very friendly, the cafe little Rita has great coffee and lovely Rita has amazing food. We didn’t try Tope on the roof but it also smelled amazing. After this stay, I’ll definitely book the hoxton wherever it’s available.
