"The hotel was very nice as were the staff. As in many cities there is a significant homeless population close to the hotel. We have no difficulty, we were not bothered, it’s just sad to witness. Powell Books is a stones throw away, we had a few (4-5) blocks to walk for a meal. We wanted to watch play off hockey (Canadians!!) and we had no problem finding bars with TV’s. Staff in all areas we were gave great friendly service. All and all good city, very decent hotel. "

"This is hands down my wife and my "go-to" hotel in Portland. We live in Portland, have stayed there well over 4 times. We ABSOLUTELY Love the Suite and it is worth the money. We love the vintage look and feel and the beds are extremely comfortable which is important because my wife has severe chronic back pain. The rooms are not overly fancy and they may be lacking in some of the Millennial technology expectations such as TV Casting, but it has the basics for us 50yr olds! We have stayed in many...

5/5 Excellent
"This is hands down my wife and my "go-to" hotel in Portland. We live in Portland, have stayed there well over 4 times. We ABSOLUTELY Love the Suite and it is worth the money.

The rooms are not overly fancy and they may be lacking in some of the Millennial technology expectations such as TV Casting, but it has the basics for us 50yr olds! We have stayed in many hotels in downtown Portland and we have not found one that beats the Royal Sonesta for us. It is not the cheapest hotel and parking is stupid expensive; but we feel it is worth it. We intend to continue staying there for StayCations and look forward to our next stay."
