This is a neat-o place, both cozy and cool. Great price for a sweet space. Our room was small, but nice to be in. No closet space, so be prepared to live out of your luggage. There are some nice hangout spaces in the hotel, and guests are welcome to occupy them. Though "shared", there are many bathrooms per floor, and all are clean and well-appointed (with pretty wonderful tile work--definitely done by a professional.) Decor is whimsical and fun, without being too kitschy or silly. There is wi-fi throughout the hotel, no password tho, so not especially secure. The street noise (traffic on MLK, and streetcar) is significant, and the heat pump is kinda noisy, too, so, if that kind of thing bothers you, bring ear plugs and request a room on the quiet side. We were fine, but we did turn the heat off at night because of the noise. All in all it was a great place to be for our short stay in Portland, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. (Or at their sister hotel in Reykjavik!)
