The hotel isn't in the best neighborhood. They have to buzz you into the lobby. Even one of the Lift drivers commented about neighborhood being overrun with homeless. The room seemed as cold as a refrigerator, 62°. Which in an odd way was helpful. Because, there was no refrigerator in the room. It took 5 hours to get the room temp up to 70°. Even after checking with the desk there was nothing to be done to make the room warmer.
As a matter of fact. There were none of the typical room staples one would expect, coffee, tea, microwave, Etc. The windows in the room were filthy. However, the room and all public areas of the hotel were very clean. The staff was courteous. The Cafe was nothing but an underwhelming Bagel/Coffee shop.
Then for an odd reason the after-tax rack rate finalized at a slightly higher price than the reservation price. No one was able to explain this or willing to adjust the price. Next time we stay in Portland. we will hopefully find a more agreeable $200 room, in a better location.
