We enjoyed the hotel. It's cute and small. They do require $20+ a day for amenities, and it was nice to get a drink each evening. I'm not sure what other amenities that covers. However, everyone I met was friendly and helpful. The location was important for me, to be near a climbing gym, Powell's Books, and the like. Unfortunately, downtown Portland is full up with people experiencing homelessness and drug addiction. I parked my car and someone was peeing on the steps next to me. As we were leaving our stay, someone was trying to break in to a car near us, and an altercation occurred with a gun present. I saw a vehicle with its window smashed. The area is moderately safe, but you probably will not want to park your car on the street. My son rented a scooter and went all over town. I was okay with that, after we talked about safety measures. Getting to the hotel from the airport was easy, a 40-min train ride and 3-block walk.
