We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, relaxing place. Jere was more than accommodating for any questions or needs we may have had. The Calm Retreat was so clean and stocked with all that and more of a nice hotel and it feels like home. We caught ourselves multiple times saying "let's go home and relax" when referring to the Calm Retreat. The Calm Retreat is located on a quiet street, making it easy to catch a few extra ZZZs for those afternoon naps or late mornings. Jere does a great job of making sure you feel at home and also provides a ton of goodies (coffee, tea, snacks, etc.). I would recommend and encourage anyone that wants to visit Portland to stay here. The Calm Retreat is in a great location, making it easy to catch a bus to any part of town or just a short bike ride away if you have access to a bike.
