The Hoxton Portland is a nicely decorated, budget-friendly option for visitors to Portland. All the staff I dealt with was super kind and helpful. The hotel has a restaurant, rooftop bar, and small cafe onsite with some great options for food and drink. The "snug" room is aptly named-- don't expect to do cartwheels during your stay in one of these. I stayed there comfortably with one other guest as it fulfilled all we needed it for, which was simply a place to sleep. We did have to change rooms after our first night as the first room was on the Burnside side of the building and was particularly loud through the night. Staff was happy to accommodate this change with no issues. There is a decently priced parking lot just down the street from the hotel, so parking was no issue.
The area that the Hoxton is located in is what warrants my 3-star rating. The area is quite rough-- I don't believe I would feel safe walking around this area by myself after dark. If you are a solo traveler, I would honestly urge you to splurge for a more expensive hotel in a different area as you may feel more secure. And frankly, the only time we spent in the Chinatown area was when we were leaving or returning to the hotel; it wasn't very advantageous location-wise to something further north or west, which is where the majority of highlights of the city are.
