Great beautiful room but was followed by a homeless person outside. Lots of homeless in Portland but not in the control of this hotel. Nice Thai restaurants around the hotel. I liked the hotel room but it is up on a hill so éwé had to do a lot of walking incline as it is a bit of a walk from the main part of Portland.

Policy is guaranteed 3:00 check in. My room wasn’t ready until 5:00. Third attempt to check in and it was ready. They said they would call when ready and never did. Had to keep going back to hotel. I had booked online and prepaid. Everyone was nice. But the room wasn’t ready! Why guarantee
