Amazing Place To Stay.

Unique hotel, fun and cool vibe
Posted 02-Jun-2011 on HotelsStayed with my husband and young son. We loved it.
It was funny that ear plugs were provided, assuming that the hotel knows that the place can get noisy from people and music downstairs.

Cova Hotel in SFO
Posted 08-Apr-2011 on HotelsI am still there and it is a pain to send this review, because the internet cannot work more than 10s!
I'd prefer to pay than have such a poor service!
Otherwise, rooms are OK, not noisy, but the Tenderloin area is not a charming place in SFO (kids many beggars, taking crack in the street...).
Non smoking hotel.

The ACE Hotel in Portland - in the Pearl District
Posted 17-Feb-2011 on HotelsThe ACE Hotel in Portland is a must stay at location if you want to be in the Pearl District. Close to many restaurants and shopping, the ACE offers a nice place to lay your head. The beds are not entirely comfortable, but the boutique hotel is just that ... certainly not a Westin, but definitely ecclectic.

The Ace Hotel in Portland, OR
Posted 13-Feb-2011 on HotelsI would describe this hotel as having character. It is old and neat in a retro sort of way. The rooms are very small and have very limited accomodations. However, the location is one of the best in Portland, located one block off Burnside street in downtown.

Cool place to stay
Posted 30-Dec-2010 on HotelsI stayed at the Ace Hotel over Christmas. Because business was slow, I got a free upgrade to a better room without even asking. That was nice! The room itself was fairly spacious, clean and comfortable, but the comfort level suffers a bit from the building's past as the low-rent Clyde Hotel (before the Ace people bought and renovated it). The single-pane windows let in drafts, and that means the heater is constantly going on and off to compensate. Also, the tiled bathroom is unheated and can be pretty cold in a Portland winter, but it's probably really nice in the summer. I liked the comforter topped with a Pendleton blanket -- that was a nice Portland touch -- and the iPod compatible alarm-radio would've been great if the iPod hookup had actually worked. Fortunately, Portland has some great radio stations, and the Ace has tons of cable channels.
The only real reservation I have about the place concerns a lack of security. Quite often, I'd come into the lobby at night and there would be no one at the front desk, which means that anyone could walk in off the street and go upstairs into the hallways whether they were staying at the hotel or not. Portland is fairly safe, but no city is free from crime altogether, and the situation made me a bit uneasy.
More positives: The food available at all three eating places within the hotel is excellent. Stumptown Coffee isn't my favorite, but they've got excellent pastries, Kenny and Zuke's is an excellent deli, and Clyde Common has an awesome bar and quite good food. All in all, the Ace is a fine place to stay even though they could do a little better with the security situation, maybe finding some way to limit access to the upper floors and elevator without compromising the funky character of the hotel.

ACE is close to everything we like in Portland
Posted 13-Dec-2010 on HotelsClose to Powell's and some of the best restaurants in town, friendly staff and even Leonard Cohen lyrics on the walls. We were there for Leonard's concert so this was the perfect hotel!
