Overpriced and mediocre hotel with some ridiculously bad valet service.
Booked a corner room months in advance for 3 nights, which came out to almost $1100. Upon checking in I was told they had to 'upgrade' me to a water view because the corner room wasn't available. Now I guess they didn't lie when they said 'water view' because I could see a little bit of the water in the distance. But if you know Portland, the waterfront area is mainly the industrial maritime business of seafood purveyors and other maritime businesses, so it's not much to look at.
The hotel is new, so that was good as it was updated with USB chargers, a nice minifridge, a digital safe, and nice amenities.
I probably wouldn't recommend this hotel for larger families, or new relationships, as the bathroom area is open to the rest of the room, and your significant others' tinkling can be heard very well. The toilet area has a sliding barn door--ours was covered in dried urine splatter left behind by previous guests.
The TV is nice and big and you can sign into your own Netflix, Prime, and Youtube accounts.
I found the bed very comfortable, the artwork nice, and the 'Beautiful Mind' amount of numbers printed on the window shade kinda mind numbing.
The valet service was steep, $35 a day extra, and really the only parking option. The 2 times we handed our ticket to the valet to go fetch it they had trouble. The first time they had trouble finding the car, and we watched the valet run from lot to lot looking for it. He finally did. The second time, the valet brought us a car...except the car he brought us wasn't ours.
Honestly, I don't think I'd stay at this hotel again. Too many strikes for the amount of money that we paid for it.
