I loved the room. It's got lots of space, a great view from the windows, total privacy, a comfortable bed, places to sit, and even some useful Portland-related magazines laid out on a table. When I arrived, there was a basket of snacks and a bottle of craft beer waiting for me. The bathroom was as clean and spacious as the room; I appreciated the high shower head and the healthy water pressure. The location is close to downtown by car, and I didn't even notice the noise that a few other reviewers have mentioned. I had no problem with the temperature, but if I had the portable heater/air conditioner would have cleared that right up.

Alan was friendly but I didn't get much chance to talk to him because he was at work most of the time I was there. But he was an excellent host; I'd stay with him again if I return to Portland.
