We were in town with our two munchkins exploring PDX by way of Amtrak. We were hoping for something cozy yet centrally located to avoid renting a car. We were greeted to some goodies in the fridge, yummy local coffee and beer, and some toy trucks to keep our 4-year old entertained for a bit. The location was perfect and we were able to walk almost everywhere. After exploring a few other neighborhoods, we decided SE Clinton is our fave. Leah and her husband were very warm and welcoming, and quick to respond when we needed anything. Yes, we could hear the activity above in the mornings, but we were on the same schedule so it didn't bother us. We would definitely stay here again.
*** Just a few local recommendations: we waited in line for both Salt & Straw and Broder's for brunch, which came highly recommended on Yelp. After trying out some other options, we decided we very much preferred the local froyo spot Eb & Bean, and for breakfast Off the Waffle. No wait and way yummier!
