The penthouse has a great view of the river. The place itself is a big space inside and has enough in there to keep you entertained for long. I remember having lived in Holiday inn in SF and all there was inside was a bed and TV in a tiny room. That is so ordinary. This is nothing like that.
Immediately as you come in you find a huge selection of material on what to do in Portland. The host was sweet to leave complimentary snacks and beer for us. There are books to read, board games to play etc.
The bathroom had clean towels and almost everything you would need.
I like how there is no TV in there. Why would you want to go on a trip and watch TV! Even if you think you do not like it, trust me that is a good thing.
Floor is wooden and creaks a little. We tried to walk around less and did so carefully. Hope I didn't annoy the people living under the penthouse.
