We were visiting my brother who lives a short walk from here. It was incredibly convenient. We arrived at around noon at PDX and we're able to come immediately and check in. We walked to Parkside the first day for lunch. My brother has a dog and he walked him over a few times, since the place is dog friendly. I really appreciated that. The bed is very comfy. It is tall and requires a bit of a hop to get in. Plenty of coffee was provided! You can hear train horns at night, so if you're a light sleeper bring ear plugs. I always have them but my husband used them because of the trains. We checked out a bunch of different Portland neighborhoods, and this place was always convenient to come back to. I would happily stay here again.
