First impressions: The stay with Tim was great. Due to traffic, we arrived late and were greeted by a very cute black cat on the property. The check-in was easy, had a parking lot on site, and the room and location had a charm since it was built in the 1900s.
Location: Near portland university and close to shops, great look of the water, near downtown but away from the craziness which is what we were looking for.
The room/Place: We stayed in the penthouse, the place was clean and had the essentials, and time-appropriate features (sink, some furniture) that were not modern but functional. The exception was the stand-alone shower with a rain shower head which was a neat experience. A/C was adequate. There were stairs to the other levels but blocked off, and locks on the bedroom door so it felt safe and away from other guests. When we had a little issue with the keypad and Tim was responsive and helped us within minutes. If you can spend the extra money, the penthouse was worth it for the space and views.
