"Quirky old 3 story hotel 20-30 min walk from the central Portland area with much pricier hotels, museum, waterfront, etc. All basics fine, aircon works well & quietly, free parking/cold breakfast/coffee. Be aware: 1) some rooms shared bath: 2) most rooms up 1-3 steep narrow staircases; no elevator."
