Great hotel. Super staff. Excellent bed, pillows and linens. Exceptionally clean. Comfortable atmosphere, well designed rooms. Mine was upgraded due to a noisy heater in my original booking. This was a treat- the snug room is super small, like no closet small, but the view was fun. Good for a solo traveler, but I would not want to be two people unless you are VERY close and compatible. The regular room I was transferred to was much larger, like a typical hotel room, two chairs and table , small hallway, big closets, and the bathroom seemed larger. Great shower. Excellent hairdryer. The tea kettle was fun. No view, but quiet interior room, so no street noise. Slept great.
Upstairs restaurant was fun, happy and accommodating staff, great view, good drinks, cafe is excellent, the downstairs restaurant roomy and comfortable, great menu.
I never felt unsafe, even walking around at night. That said. It’s a very funky part of town, but a close walk to Powell’s and other good stuff and transit. It was super cold and rainy, but the comped umbrella was nice. Lots of homeless/ methy folks between hotel and river, but it gets better as you head up Bradshaw. Easy Uber ride to the airport.
Portland needs to figure out the homelessness situation, which is heartbreaking, not unlike any other major city, but increasing street cleaning until they do would be a start. Really enjoyed the stay and would return. Thanks, Hoxton.
