The accommodations were very tidy, clean, and modern. All of the staff were very helpful and welcoming throughout the whole process. I felt comfortable in my top bunk, and could easily keep all my bags locked away. The curtains around the beds is a nice touch to remain somewhat private.
As for the 4 star location:
Portland unfortunately has a lot of homelessness, and this can be seen close to the hotel. However, there are a ton of things to see and do within walking distance, Voodoo Doughnuts, Sizzle Pizza, Powell City of Books,... Overall I would reccomend staying here, great service, hospitality, and places to go see!
